Zg. Gulyaeva et al., EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE SOLUBILITY O F INTERPOLYELECTROLYTE COMPLEXES IN AQUEOUS-SALT SOLUTIONS, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 39(2), 1997, pp. 301-305
The effect of temperature on the phase transitions was studied in aque
ous-salt solutions of interpolyelectrolyte complexes, formed due to th
e interaction of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. It was found tha
t a large number of interpolyelectrolyte complexes possessed a lower c
ritical temperature of mixing in the polycomplex-water-salt system, wh
ich is determined by an amphiphilic character of these complexes.
