ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF HYDROPHOBICALLY MODIFIED POLYELECTROLYTES IN METHANOL/WATER SOLUTION

Measurements of the electrical equivalent conductivity of potassium salts of poly(maleic acid-co-1-olefins), PA-nK2 with n = 12, 18 has been carried out in methanol-water mixtures in the whole range of composition. The relative interaction parameter f*, was determined as a function of the mole fract...
