of completely charged PSSNa solutions (f=1) (sodium polystyrene sulfonate) are studied. It seems that the chains take a vermiform<br />

conformation. Their persistence length varies as I(sup -1/3) (I is the ionic force). The hydrophobicity effects in partially charged<br />

PSSNa solutions (f is less than 1) are given too. They lead to a progressive collapse of the chains when their charge rates decrease.<br />

The screen <strong>and</strong> condensation effects when the charge rate f of the PSSNa (f is greater than f(Manning)) varies in a polar solvent<br />

(DMSO) are studied. The vermiform chains have the same persistence length (for each f) which varies as I(sup -1/4). Lastly, the<br />

f variation effects in the case of a weakly charged hydrophilic poly-ion (f
