Notes:
The quasielastic light scattering method was used to study the ionic strength dependence of the mutual diffusion coefficient of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS) as a function of NaCl and CaCl2 concentrations. The results indicate a splitting in the relaxation times that depends on the ratio Cp/Cs, where Cp and Cs are the polyion and added salt concentrations. A universal relationship taking into account Manning's theory of condensation and the Debye screening due to the added salt is proposed to characterize the fast-slow relaxation time transition.
