Temperature-induced interchain association and contraction of species in aqueous solutions of charged (MHEC(−)-__g__-PNIPAAM) and uncharged (MHEC-__g__-PNIPAAM) modified hydroxyethylcellulose-__graft__-poly(__N__-isopropylacrylamide) copolymer have been studied with the aid of turbidimetry and dynam
