Abstract
The dilute solution behaviour of poly(monoethyl itaconate) (PMEI) has been studied in 2-ethoxyethanol, methanol, dimethylsulfoxide and water, at 298 K, by intrinsic viscosity and light scattering measurements, and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Weight-average molecular weight was determined in methanol. PMEI shows typical polyelectrolyte behaviour. The Kuhn-Mark-Houwink-Sakurada relationships were established in the media studied. The conformational parameters (σ and C ∞) and the thermodynamic parameter ( B) were calculated. The results are compared with previous studies of poly(monomethyl itaconate).
