Two novel polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) have been synthesized using
pendant type imidazolinium organosilicon copolymers with poly(sodium s
tyrene sulfonate). These PEC dissolved in a ternary solvent system and
displayed high thermal stability. Turbimetry and conductometry measur
ements showed PEC formation to be a stoichiometric reaction. The forma
tion of PEC was decreased with increasing polyion concentration and or
ganic solvent, but decreased with decreasing dielectric constant of th
e solvent. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevi
