The effect of salts KSCN, KI, KBr, KCI, KC104, KF, K2SO4 and NH4CI, LiC1, NaC1, KC1, CsC1 on the binodials of the phase diagrams for aqueous biphasic dextranpolyvinylpyrrolidone, dextran-polyvinyl alcohol, dextran-ficoll and dextran-polyethylene glycol systems was studied. It is established that the K-salts present at the concentrations of 0.1 and 0.5 mol/kg alter the binodials of the phase diagrams for the above systems. The effect of a salt is found to be related to the lyotropy of the salt quantified by the salt molal surface tension increment. It is assumed that phase separation in an aqueous polymer biphasic system is affected by the presence of a salt mainly due to the effect of the salt on the structure and/or state of water in the system.
Concentration effects of KSCN, KC104, KI, KBr, KNO3, KC1, KF and K2SO 4 on the compatibility of dextran with ficoll, polyvinylpyrrolidone and poly(ethylene glycol) at fixed polymer concentration ratios were studied in aqueous solution. The results obtained are considered in terms of the Patterson theory of Az-effecc It is assumed that phase separation in an aqueous solution of two nonionic polymers results from the appearance of two different water structures in the vicinity of the phase polymers. The data obtained are considered in terms of the concept of "salting-in-salting-out" effects of neutral salts on aqueous solubility ofbiopolymers. The salt effects observed are attributed to two antagonistic influences of salts on the electrostatic (dipole-dipole) polymer-water interactions and on the water-water interactions in the vicinity of the phase polymers.
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.
