Abstract
We study the viscosity of polystyrenesulfonate with sodium and tetrabutylammonium counterions in aqueous and organic solvent media. We find that at low concentrations the Fuoss law (ηsp ∼ c1/2) is approximately obeyed, but at higher concentrations, an exponential dependence on the polymer volume fraction sets in. These findings are discussed in terms of Fujita's free volume theory.

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
Non-Newtonian fluids are ubiquitous in daily life and industrial applications. Herein, we report an intelligent fluidic system integrating two distinct non-Newtonian rheological properties mediated by an autocatalytic enzyme reaction. Associative polyelectrolytes bearing a small amount of ionic and alkyl groups are engineered: by carefully balancing the charge density and the hydrophobic effect, the polymer solutions demonstrate a unique shear thickening property at low pH while shear thinning at high pH. The urea-urease clock reaction is utilized to program a feedback-induced pH change, leading to a strong upturn of the nonlinear viscoelastic properties. As long as the chemical fuel is supplied, two distinct non-Newtonian states can be achieved with a tunable lifetime span. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate how the physical energy-driven nonequilibrium properties can be manipulated by a chemical-fueled process.

Abstract
Advances in the synthesis and processing of graphene-based materials have presented the opportunity to design novel lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode materials that can meet the power requirements of next-generation power devices. In this work, a poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA)-induced self-assembly process was used to design super-mesoporous Fe3O4 and reduced-graphene-oxide (Fe3O4@RGO) anode materials. We demonstrate the relationship between the media pH and Fe3O4@RGO nanostructure, in terms of dispersion state of PMAA-stabilized Fe3O4@GO sheets at different surrounding pH values, and porosity of the resulted Fe3O4@RGO anode. The anode shows a high surface area of 338.8 m2 g-1 with a large amount of 10-40 nm mesopores, which facilitates the kinetics of Li-ions and electrons, and improves electrode durability. As a result, Fe3O4@RGO delivers high specific-charge capacities of 740 mA h g-1 to 200 mA h g-1 at various current densities of 0.5 A g-1 to 10 A g-1, and an excellent capacity-retention capability even after long-term charge-discharge cycles. The PMAA-induced assembly method addresses the issue of poor dispersion of Fe3O4-coated graphene materials-which is a major impediment in the synthesis process-and provides a facile synthetic pathway for depositing Fe3O4 and other metal oxide nanoparticles on highly porous RGO.
