Abstract
The complex formation of poly-2-[(methacryloyloxy)-ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (PMADQUAT) with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) of different molecular weights has been studied in aqueous solutions by potentiometric, viscometric, turbidimetric and FTIR spectroscopic methods. The formation of insoluble non-stoichiometric polyelectrolyte complexes has been shown. The stability of polyelectrolyte complexes in solutions of different pH and ionic strength has been evaluated. The formation of polyelectrolyte complexes between hydrogels of PMADQUAT and linear PAA of different molecular weights has been studied. It was shown that the molecular weight of PAA considerably affects the kinetics of interaction as well as the final state of gel–polymer complex.
