Abstract

The properties in organic solvent (DMF) of two ionic copolymers are investigated and compared to those of polyelectrolytes in aqueous solutions. First, the viscometric behaviour is disccussed: it is demonstrated that [η] varies linearly with C −1 2 T , where C T is the ionic concentration of the solution. At infinite salt concentration we obtain data in agreement with unperturbed dimensions. Using isoionic dilution, we deduce ø p , the osmotic coefficient. From osmometry, the dependence of ø p on the concentration is obtained and compared to the theoretical value. In the presence of neutral salt, the osmotic pressure is determined as a function of salt and polymer concentrations. The results are interpreted in terms of a Donnan equilibrium.
