Translational entropy of counter ions

Althogh, AG evaluated by Equation 9 takes into account the loss in translational entropy of counter ions upon micellar assoclatlon(3,4), it is doutfull that the term (m/n) RT ln[X], can Include all the effects of interionic interaction in micelle formation. 

When the network chains contain ionic groups, there will be additional forces that affect their swelling properties. Translational entropy of counter-ions, Coulomb interactions, and ion pair multiplets are forces that lead to interesting phenomena in ion-containing gels. These phenomena were studied in detail by Khokhlov (1992), Khokhlov and Philippova (1996, 2002), Osada and Khokhlov (2002) and Philippova et al. (1995). The free energy of the networks used by Khokhlov and collaborators is...
