Abstract
The effects of NaCl, NaI and Na 2SO 4 on the formation of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) between a polycation with N, N-dimethyl-2-hydroxypropyleneammonium chloride units in the main chain (PCA 5) and poly(sodium acrylate) (NaPA) were studied. The NaCl concentration in the polyelectrolyte solutions ranged from 0 to 2 M. Viscometric and turbidimetric measurements were used to follow the effect of the salt concentration and of the counterion nature on the PEC formation. The influence of counterions was different depending on both the radius of the hydrated ion and its valence. At the same concentration of the low-molecular-weight salt, the following order of the PEC separation in dependence on the counterion was evidenced: R sep(SO 4 2−)< R sep(I −)< R sep(Cl −). The critical concentration of NaCl for this system was established.
