Abstract
Density, calorimetric and rheological measurements for poly(propylene oxide)-water solutions, which are completely miscible over the total c oncentration range, indicate that, in dilute solutions of the polymer in water, interactions between the polymer and water are very similar to those seen with corresponding concentrations of short chain alcohol s in water and also suggest that specific interactions between the pol ymer and water occur in dilute solutions of water in the polymer.
