Popis: | In this paper, we present a self-consistent field theory of macroscopic forces in spatially inhomogeneous flexible chain polyelectrolyte solutions. We derive an analytical expression for a stress tensor which consists of three terms: isotropic hydrostatic stress, electrostatic (Maxwell) stress, and stress rising from conformational entropy of polymer chains -- conformational stress. We apply our theory to the description of polyelectrolyte solutions confined in a conductive slit nanopore and observe anomalous behavior of disjoining pressure and electric differential capacitance.
