Tracer diffusion and activity coefficients of counterions in aqueous solutions of polyelectrolytes

Tracer diffusion coefficients of Ag+ in silver polystyrenesulfonate and counterion activity coefficients of sodium and silver polystyrenesulfonates have been determined at different concentrations. The results have been analyzed using a simple electrostatic model which assumes the polyions to be par...

description Tracer diffusion coefficients of Ag+ in silver polystyrenesulfonate and counterion activity coefficients of sodium and silver polystyrenesulfonates have been determined at different concentrations.
