✦ Synopsis

Interpolymer reactions between poly(acrylic acid) and poly(vinyl ether) of ethylene glycol were studied by viscometric and spectroturbidimetric methods in aqueous and organic solutions of different nature. It is shown that the formation of interpolymer complexes strongly depends on the strength of the polymer-solvent interaction. A decrease of the thermodynamical quality of the solvents should be favorable for the complexation process.
