Invitation and scope

International symposium on polyelectrolytes is a series of meetings organised biennially since 1995. Its aim is to facilitate interdisciplinary interactions between researchers working with charged macromolecules of both synthetic and biological origin. Being an interdisciplinary field, the research on polyelectrolytes connects chemists and physicists from both academic and industrial research.

Research in the area of polyelectrolytes contributes to the fields of physics and physical chemistry through understanding how electrostatic and hydrodynamic interactions are related to the behaviour of macromolecules in solution, complexes and at solid interfaces. Counterion condensation and its impact on structure, assembly and complex formation is an important issue. Research on polyelectrolytes, by providing important physical insights relevant to surface and interface science and to materials engineering, contributes to many fields.
