Abstract

Phase separation in water-salt solutions of stoichiometric polyelectrolyte complexes, which are the products of the reaction between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, is studied. It is shown that the compositions and volumes of the coexisting phases are largely determined by the degree of conversion in the inter-polymer reaction, which depends on the concentrations of teh polycomplex and low molecular salt. The effects of the nature of the low molecular salt, the molecular masses of the interacting polyelectrolytes, and the temperature on the phase equilibrium of the polyelectrolyte complex-water-salt system are studied.
