Abstract:
Sound velocities in polyacrylate solutions neutralized by tetraalkylammonium hydroxide were measured at various concentrations of added NACl. From the results, the degree of counterion binding to polyion and the extent of the changes in hydration volume due to ion binding were determined as a function of the degree of neutralization, alpha. The ion binding accompanying the volume changes appeared above about alpha = 0.6 and the ion binding process depended on the charge density of the polyion. The effect of the size of the tetraalkylammonium ion on ion binding was negligibly small.

Pore Transport and Ion-Pair Transport
Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct microscopic...
