Abstract
Liquid-liquid phase separation plays a prominent role in the physics of life, providing the cells with various membrane-less compartments. These structures exhibit a range of material properties that, in many cases, change over time. Inspired by this, we investigate here an aqueous two-phase system formed by mixing polyethylene glycol with dextran. We modulate the material properties of the resulting dextran droplets by adding DNA that readily enters the droplets. We find a non-monotonic dependence of the physical properties of the droplets under the imposed ionic conditions.
