✦ Synopsis
The interaction of water with poly(ethylene glycols) has been studied by measuring the density of aqueous solutions of a series of poly(ethylene glycols) (PEGs) ranging in number average molecular weights from 106 to 5607. In all cases except that of diethylene glycol the slope of the density/composition plot showed a marked change at particular compositions. These indicate that a tetrahydrate forms in the case of PEG300 and PEG400 (M,: 429 by GPC) contrasting with a trihydrate and a hexahydrate for the higher molecular weights of PEGI000 (Mn: 810 by GPC) and PEG3330 (Mn: 5607 by GPC).

The intrinsic viscosity of polystyrene-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-PEO) and PS-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) blends have been measured in benzene as a function of blend composition for various molecular weights of PEO and PEG at 303.15 K. The compatibility of polymer pairs in solution were determined on
The ultrasonic velocity and density of liquid mixtures of water and poly(ethylene glycol)-200 have been measured at 30°C. The variation of sound velocity and adiabatic compressibility with concentration shows a change in the slope at a mole ratio of four indicating the formation of tetrahydrate.
