Quenched polyelectrolytes with hydrophobicity independent from chemical charge fraction: A SANS and SAXS study

We investigate by SANS and SAXS the structure of semidilute aqueous hydrophobic quenched polyelectrolyte solutions, in which we can vary independently the hydrophobicity and the chemical/electrostatic charge fraction (above the Manning condensation threshold 36%). Such a de-correlation is the origin...
