IUPAC definition
Polyelectrolyte: Polymer composed of macromolecules in which a substantial portion of the constitutional units contains ionic or ionizable groups, or both.[1] Notes:
- The terms polyelectrolyte, polymer electrolyte, and polymeric electrolyte should not be confused with the term solid polymer electrolyte.
- Polyelectrolytes can be either synthetic or natural. Nucleic acids, proteins, teichoic acids, some polypeptides, and some polysaccharides are examples of natural polyelectrolytes.
IUPAC definition
Superabsorbent polymer: Polymer that can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of a liquid relative to its own mass.[3] Notes:
- The liquid absorbed can be water or an organic liquid.
- The swelling ratio of a superabsorbent polymer can reach the order of 1000:1.
- Superabsorbent polymers for water are frequently polyelectrolytes.
IUPAC definition
Closed structure formed by amphiphilic molecules that contains solvent (usually water).[4]

Many thanks to TBL
I once published an article about chirality of helices.[5]
