The stabilization of complex coacervate microdroplets can be modulated by the concentrations cPE stabilizer and salt, enabling their various applications, such as bioreactors, drug delivery vehicles, encapsulants.
Metal cation identity determines the zeolite topology. Framework topology total cationic content. Potassium predominantly counterbalances Al anions; sodium and calcium are structure-directing agents.
Abstract We present structural and turbidimetric characterizations of aqueous dispersions oppositely charged nanoparticles polyelectrolytes that undergo complexation flocculation to form particle‐rich agglomerates over a wide range polyelectrolyte nanoparticle concentrations with varying sizes persistence lengths. Compaction in the polyelectrolyte–nanoparticle complexes, signified by decreasing internanoparticle spacing until they are brought near‐contact, is observed upon increasing...
