Preferred Name	Polyelectrolytes
Definitions	A class of water-soluble polyelectrolytes with pi-delocalized structure and functional ionic properties used for fluorescent staining of cells and as semi-conducting materials in electronic devices. Naturally occurring or artificially made water-soluble POLYMERS whose repeating units are ionizable. Polyelectrolytes demonstrate attributes that are typical of salts, such as electrical conductivity, and typical of polymers, such as viscosity.
Synonyms	Polyelectrolyte, Conjugated Polycations Polyelectrolyte Conjugated Polyelectrolytes Cationic Polyelectrolytes Polyelectrolytes, Conjugated Conjugated Polyelectrolyte Polyanions
