Abstract
Polyelectrolytes are a class of polymers possessing ionic groups on their repeating units. Since counterions can dissociate from the polymer backbone, polyelectrolyte chains are strongly influenced by electrostatic interactions. As a result, the physical properties of polyelectrolyte solutions are significantly different from those of electrically neutral polymers. The aim of this article is to highlight key results and some outstanding questions in the polyelectrolyte research from recent literature. We focus on the influence of electrostatics on conformational and hydrodynamic properties of polyelectrolyte chains. A compilation of experimental results from the literature reveals significant disparities with theoretical predictions. We also discuss a new class of polyelectrolytes called poly(ionic liquid)s that exhibit unique physical properties in comparison to ordinary polyelectrolytes. We conclude this review by listing some key research challenges in order to fully understand the conformation and dynamics of polyelectrolytes in solutions.

Abstract
In this work, a comprehensive study of the influence on shear viscosity of polyelectrolyte concentration, persistence length, salt concentration and solvent quality is reported, using numerical simulations of confined solutions under stationary Poiseuille flow. Various scaling regimes for the viscosity are reproduced, both under good solvent and theta solvent conditions. The key role played by the electrostatic interactions in the viscosity is borne out when the ionic strength is varied. It is argued that these results are helpful for the understanding of viscosity scaling in entangled polyelectrolyte solutions for both rigid and flexible polyelectrolytes in different solvents, which is needed to perform intelligent design of new polyelectrolytes capable of fine tuning the viscosity in complex fluids.

Abstract
Ions interact with water via short-ranged ion-dipole interactions. Recently, an additional unexpected long-ranged interaction was found: The total electric field of ions influences water-water correlations over tens of hydration shells, leading to the Jones Ray effect, a 0.3% surface tension depression. Here, we report such long-range interactions contributing substantially to both molecular and macroscopic properties. Femtosecond elastic second harmonic scattering (fs-ESHS) shows that long-range electrostatic interactions are remarkably strong in aqueous polyelectrolyte solutions, leading to an increase in water-water correlations. This increase plays a role in the reduced viscosity, which changes more than two orders of magnitude with polyelectrolyte concentration. Using D2O instead of H2O shifts both the fs-ESHS and the viscosity curve by a factor of ~10 and reduces the maximum viscosity value by 20 to 300%, depending on the polyelectrolyte. These phenomena cannot be explained using a mean-field approximation of the solvent and point to nuclear quantum effects.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the rheological properties of different saline solutions of sodium hyaluronate (NaHA) with special interest for medical applications. The experimental results were compared with literature data for commercial ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) used in cataract surgery. We offer some tools to tailor the rheological behavior of OVDs for different purposes. We have investigated to which extent surgical requirements can be fulfilled by adjusting either the molecular weight of NaHA or its concentration, parameters that are in some respects equivalent but not in others. Furthermore, we demonstrate that moduli and complex viscosities of NaHA saline solutions are adequately falling on master curves, using either empirical or calculated shift factors, the latest ones being based on a modified Rouse model.
