The key difference between cationic and anionic polyelectrolyte is that cationic polyelectrolytes can dissociate in aqueous solutions to form positively charged polymeric species, whereas anionic polyelectrolytes can dissociate in aqueous solutions to give negatively charged polymeric species. Polyelectrolytes are polymers that have repeating units bearing an electrolyte group. There are two types: polycations or cationic […]
