The cell model of polyelectrolyte solutions is described, whereby the linear polyions are represented as prolonged ellipsoids of revolution, placed in the cells of ellipsoidal symmetry. The simple ions are distributed throughout the cell according to the nonlinear, two dimensional Poisson–Boltzmann equation. Applying usual relations, several thermodynamic properties are calculated from the numerical solution of the Poisson–Boltzmann equation, obtained by the finite difference method. The influence of the degree of polymerization and of the concentration on thermodynamic behavior of polyelectrolyte solutions is studied. A brief comparison with a few disposable experimental results is given.
