Ta. Korobko et al., COMPETING INTERACTIONS IN SOLUTIONS OF OP POSITELY CHARGED POLYELECTROLYTES AND ANIONIC SURFACTANTS, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 35(1), 1993, pp. 10000087-10000092
The reactions in the solutions of nonstoichiometric polyelectrolyte co
mplexes and anionic surfactants were studied by the luminescence quenc
hing technique, turbidimetric titration, and velocity sedimentation. I
t was shown for the first time that carboxyl-containing surfactants ca
n compete successfully with polyanion in reactions of polycation addit
ion. The composition of the products of this interaction, i.e., polyme
r-colloidal complexes, was studied and a scheme for competing reaction
s was proposed.
