E. Marsano et al., CELLULOSE POLYACRYLONITRILE BLENDS .3. POLYMER-POLYMER INTERACTIONS IN DIMETHYLACETAMIDE LICL SOLUTION DETERMINED BY VISCOMETRY, Polymer, 35(16), 1994, pp. 3565-3567
Values of intrinsic viscosity [eta] and Huggins' constant K(H) were me
asured for cellulose, polyacrylonitrile and their mixtures in dimethyl
acetamide/7% LiCl. The trend of [eta] is linear with the weight fracti
on of the two polymers. The Huggins' constant values correspond to the
case of ideal mixtures. Observations are made concerning deviations w
hich arise in results obtained at higher concentrations.
