Theoretical study of branched polyelectrolytes
by M.Sc., Varvara Prokacheva
Varvara Prokacheva is finishing Ph.D. student under supervision of doc. RNDr. Filip Uhlík, Ph.D. Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry, Faculty of Science
Branched polyelectrolytes are being extensively studied due to the wide range of their possible applications and interesting properties of
their natural analogs.
This work is focused on the theoretical study of conformational transitions occurring in pH-responsive polyelectrolytes upon variation in pH, salt concentration or solvent quality. That can provide guidelines for the design of smart devices, for example, nanocarriers for drug delivery or desalination agents for water treatment applications.
