Dielectric relaxation in Hylarunic acid sodium salt

Structural properties of Na-HA aqueous solutions can be quantified using dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range 100 Hz–100 MHz. Two relaxation modes are typically detected that can be attributed to diffusive motion of polyion counterions. The overall study as a function of polyion length, concentration and added salt concentration demonstrates that the motion of polyion counterions detected at MHz frequencies probes collective properties, whereas the motion at kHz range probes single-chain properties of polyelectrolytes. Fundamental length scales found to characterize the polyelectrolyte structure differ for the dilute and semidilute regime and also depend on the strength of electrostatic interactions and the flexibility.
