Nv. Avramenko et al., INTERPOLYMER COMPLEXES OF A NEW-TYPE - 3-COMPONENT INTERPOLYMER COMPLEXES INVOLVING A MONOBASIC LOW MOLAR-MASS MEDIATOR, Journal of thermal analysis, 46(2), 1996, pp. 347-352
A new type of three-component interpolymer complexes (3IPCM) formed by
two similarly charged polyelectrolytes and an oppositely charged low
molar mass compound was studied by DSC, NMR and X-ray methods. The low
molar mass monobasic compounds in these complexes act as mediators. T
his type of complexes differs from earlier-obtained 3IPCM, which conta
ined a dibasic low molar mass mediator. The present 3IPCM were obtaine
d from two polymers (polyacrylic acid and sodium polyphosphate) and ba
ses such as 4-vinylpyridine and 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine.
