We use direct simulations of particle-polyelectrolyte mixtures using the single chain in mean field framework to extract the phase diagram for such systems. At high charges of the particles and low concentration of polymers, we observe the formation of a coacervate phase involving the particles and polyelectrolytes. At low particle charges and/or high concentration of polymers, the mixture undergoes a segregative phase separation into particle-rich and polymer-rich phases, respectively. We also present results for the influence of particle charge heterogeneity on the phase diagram.
