“…In our previous works, 6,9,11,17 we studied interpolymer interactions between PAA and PHEVE in aqueous and organic solutions to clarify the effects of pH, the ionic strength of the solutions, the polymer concentration, and the nature of the solvent on interpolymer complexation. The formation of IPCs with stoichiometric compositions was demonstrated.…”

Soluble and crosslinked films based on compositions of poly(acrylic acid) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether) were prepared. Solubility, morphology, mechanical characteristics, and swelling properties of the films were investigated. Potential applications of the polymer complex films in controlled drug delivery were also examined.

“…In most cases these ladder‐type structures begin to aggregate immediately after their formation in order to reduce the surface and to avoid further contacts with solvent molecules. The aggregation process is accompanied by the appearance of turbidity in solutions and the formation of polycomplex particles, the size of which depends strongly on time, solution concentration, pH, nature of solvent, and so on 4,5…”
Literature data as well as our own experimental results devoted to the complexation of polycarboxylic acids with various water‐soluble polysaccharides (methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, starch, and dextran) by means of hydrogen bonding are systematized and analyzed. The specific peculiarities of interpolymer complexes based on polysaccharides‐polycarboxylic acids are demonstrated. The perspectives for the application of these interpolymer complexes are considered. It was shown that these materials possess good biocompatibility and adhesive properties. The promising directions for further study of interpolymer complexes between polycarboxylic acids and nonionic polysaccharides as well as existing gaps in the knowledge in this field are pointed out.Formation of compact IPCs and hydrophilic interpolymer associates.magnified imageFormation of compact IPCs and hydrophilic interpolymer associates.
“…It is known that these three polymeric pairs form complexes, whose composition is close to stoichiometric (1:1) and structure of IPC is compact [1][2][3][4][5]10].…”

“…The next step in the development of this field was the study of interpolymer interactions, in which one of the polymeric reagents is represented by a gel, i.e. three-dimensional polymeric network swollen in aqueous or organic solvent [6][7][8][9][10]. In this case the interaction proceeds through the penetration of linear macromolecules into polymeric hydrogel and complexation with the network segments, which is accompanied by a volume-phase transition of the samples.…”
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.
