✦ Synopsis
The viscometric behaviour and the preferential solvation of poly(4-tert-butylphenyl methacrylate) (PBPh) in tetrahydrofuran/water mixtures have been studied. The results show that water enhances the solubility of this polymer. The system PBPh-tetrahydrofuran-water was studied in detail for 6 fractions of polymer. Analysis of the data shows a variation in the confirmational parameter Ko. This viscometric behaviour and preferential solvation are compared with those of polystyrene (PS) in the same mixture. The results are discussed.

The viscometric behaviour of poly(p-tert-butylphenyl methacrylate) in a binary mixture (acetone/cyclohexane) has been studied. This mixture presents a type of partial co-solvency (synergism) for this polymer: cyciohexane is a 0-solvent at 25 ° and acetone is very poor. The conformational parameter s
