Comment on ``Adsorption of Polyelectrolyte onto a Colloid of Opposite Charge''
- Abstract:
-
In a recent Letter, Gurovitch and Sens studied the adsorption of a weakly charged polyelectrolyte chain onto an oppositely charged colloidal particle. By using a variational technique they found that the colloidal particle can adsorb a polymer of higher charge than its own, and thus be ``overcharged.'' I argue that the observed overcharging by a factor of 16/5 is indeed an artifact of the approximations involved in the study. Moreover, I show that the existence of overcharging depends crucial...
