Polyelectrolytes control the organization and properties of materials with important applications in bio- and nano-technology including energy storage and therapeutics as well as protein delivery and compartmentalization. In this talk, we reveal the effect of ionic correlations and dielectric mismatch on the structure and properties of polymer electrolytes in confinement (1-3).
