The limiting laws for polyelectrolyte solutions developed in previous papers of this series have been amply confirmed by measurement. A surprising result of the accumulated data is that the limiting polyelectrolyte charge fraction (fraction of fixed charges uncompensated by condensed counterions in the limit of zero concentration), persists up to concentrations of 0.1 M or even higher. Here the theory is extended in a simple manner to finite concentrations, and the stability of the charge fraction is found to be firmly based on consequences of the long-range polyelectrolyte field. The associated counterions are assumed to translate freely in a region centered on the contour axis of the polyion. The numerical value of the free volume is determined self-consistently from the axial charge density of the polyelectrolyte and is used as the general framework within which specific binding effects are treated.
