Abstract
The equilibrium conformations of macromolecules and their stability are studied in dilute solutions of polyelectrolytes under the action of an external stimulus such as an applied electric field or a flow. It is shown that the stability of equilibrium conformations can be studied with the help of a potential function even though the equilibria may not be thermodynamical ones for the whole rheological system.
