The general premise of this chapter is to address thermodynamic behaviors and structure of charged macromolecules in non-dilute conditions, such as semidilute and concentrated solutions. After a summary of uncharged macromolecules in concentrated solutions, the coupling between the electrostatic and topological correlations is treated. Five regimes of polymer concentrations are outlined accompanied by a collection of experimental data. Spontaneous formation of large aggregates formed by similarly charged macromolecules is described in detail.
