Variation of the second virial coefficient as a function of polymer composition for three pairs of polystyrene mixtures in 2-butanone has been studied using static light scattering. The results are better represented by the simple method of taking the geometric mean of the second virial coefficients

Abstract
Light scattering measurements were carried out on several standard polystyrenes and their binary mixtures in benzene and in 2βbutanone. Their second virial coefficients, B~2~, were determined as a function of the polymer composition. It was revealed that for some pairs of mixtures whose components differ greatly in size, a minimum in B~2~ is observed, whereas a maximum is expected theoretically. The reasons for this phenomenon are discussed and interpreted in terms of the characteristics of the samples in solution and by considering the nonβnegligible contribution of the attractive forces.

## Abstract Lowβangle laser light scattering measurements were performed on practically binary mixtures of standard polystyrenes dissolved in toluene. Second virial coefficients __A__~2~ were obtained as a function of the composition of the mixed polymer. No solid evidence was found for the existen
Based on the measurement of the concentration dependence of the osmotic pressure of sodium alginate aqueous solution in different concentrations of potassium nitrate, the contribution of polyion charges to the second virial coefficient was predicted. According to this analysis, an equation A 2 = A 2
