Notes:
The interaction between oppositely charged linear and crosslinked polyelectrolytes and the molecular mechanism of the transport of linear polyelectrolytes into oppositely charged gels were studied. The mechanism represents a “relay-race” transfer of polyion segments from one fragment of the polyelectrolyte network to the other via interpolyelectrolyte exchange reaction. Thus, the whole layer of the formed interpolyelectrolyte complex serves as an active zone. The driving force for the transport is produced by interpolyelectrolyte addition reaction on the solution/gel interface.
