 Polyelectrolyte adsorption

Polyelectrolyte adsorption refers to the process by which polyelectrolytes—charged polymer chains—attach themselves to surfaces or interfaces, such as solid materials, colloids, or membranes. This phenomenon is important in various fields, including materials science, biochemistry, environmental science, and pharmaceuticals. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Polyelectrolytes**: These are polymeric molecules that carry charged groups (either positive or negative) along their backbone.
