Abstract
Summary: The formation of interpolymer complexes (IPCs) between hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) and copolymers of maleic acid with vinyl acetate (MAc‐VA), acrylic acid (MAc‐AA) and styrene (MAc‐S) in aqueous solution has been investigated by turbidimetry, viscometry and fluorescence measurements. The viscosity data indicated a compact structure for the IPCs between HPC and maleic acid copolymers. Besides H‐bonding, strong hydrophobic forces materialize between HPC and MAc‐S, strengthening this IPC. The strength of the interpolymer interactions was estimated to increase in the order: HPC:MAc‐VA < HPC:MAc‐AA < HPC:MAc‐S. The IPCs of HPC with MAc‐VA or MAc‐AA were water‐soluble at pH values higher than 3, while the IPC between HPC and MAc‐S was water‐soluble at pH values above 4.5.

## Abstract **Summary:** The phase behavior of a water/hydroxypropyl cellulose/maleic acid–styrene copolymer (H~2~O/HPC/MAc‐S) system was investigated in the semi‐dilute range by turbidimetry, rheology, and optical microscopy. The two polymers under investigation form interpolymer complexes via hyd
The interpolymer complexation, through successive hydrogen bonding, between poly(acry1amide) (PAAm) and poly(N4sopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAAm) with poly(acry1ic acid) (PAA) in aqueous solution has been viscometrically and potentiometrically investigated. The stoichiometry of the complexes formed was d
