What is Interpolymer Complexes between Hydroxypropylcellulose and Copolymers of Maleic Acid: A Comparative Study about?
## 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.
