Abstract
The use of a wave-vector-dependent dielec. structure function to describe electrolyte and polyelectrolyte solns. is reported. Exptl. results for the charge-charge structure function in electrolytes and in polyelectrolytes are presented at concns. beyond the Debye-Hueckel range. A dielec. structure function and a macroscopic dielec. const. are derived from scattering expts. The time decay of the dynamic charge structure function is related to the Debye-Falkenhagen relaxation time. Effects of dissymmetry in charge and size are examd. Exptl. results on DNA rods and poly(styrenesulfonate) coils are compared.
