V. Syromyatnikov et al., Compacting of poly(acrylamide)-poly(vinyl alcohol) grafted copolymers in aqueous solution of phenol and its effect in the copolymers films structure, MACRO SYMP, 166, 2001, pp. 237-242
The interaction of phenol with graft copolymers of poly(acrylamide) to poly
(vinyl alcohol) (PVA-PAA(N)) forming intramolecular polycomplexes (Intra PC
), and also with PAA, is investigated by the methods of gel chromatography,
viscometry, W and IR spectroscopy. It is shown, that phenol connection wit
h polymers is weak and carried out on the equilibrium mechanism. Under phen
ol influence the effect of compacting of polymer macromolecules is observed
. It is revealed, in particular, by change of the ratio between different H
-bonds structures in polymer films obtained at phenol presence. PVA-PAAN co
nnect phenol more effectively, than PAA; the quantity of bound phenol grows
with N.
