Effect of Magnetic Field on Phase Transitions and Structure of Polyelectrolyte Solutions

The effect of a magnetic field on the phase transitions and structure of solutions of polyelectrolytes (gelatin, poly(acrylic acid), and poly(methacrylic acid)) at different pH values of the medium is studied. It is shown for the first time for polyelectrolyte–solvent systems that the magnetic field leads to an increase in the temperature of phase transitions and causes additional association of macromolecules in solutions.
