Effect of ionic strength of the solution of some hydrogen-bonded interpolymer complexes on the stability and thermodynamic parameters Summary-The effect of ionic strength of the solution on the complex formation of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) has been studied in aqueous solutions containing various inorganic salts (NaCl, KCl, NH 4 Cl). Stability constant (K s), degree of linkage (θ) and related thermodynamic parameters (∆G 0 , ∆H 0 and ∆S 0) have been compared for different complexation systems. The comparative study indicated considerable difference in the values of these parameters, which has been explained on the basis of relative strength of H-bond present in different systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
