Abstract
Phase separation temperatures and viscosities of dilute and semidilute aqueous mixtures of hydrophobically modified graft and block copolymers have been studied. The graft copolymer was hydrophobically modified ethyl(hydroxyethyl)cellulose (HM-EHEC), and the block copolymers were hydrophobically modified poly(ethylene glycol) (HM-PEG) with diblock (DB) or triblock (TB) structures, i.e., modified at one or both ends, respectively. For comparison, viscosity measurements were made also on mixtures of TB with HM-HEC, and on systems where one of the polymers was unmodified (i.e. HM-EHEC/PEG or TB/EHEC). All results indicate mixed hydrophobic associations between graft and block copolymers. Moderate viscosity enhancements were found on addition... (More)

For comparison, viscosity measurements were made also on mixtures of TB with HM-HEC, and on systems where one of the polymers was unmodified (i.e. HM-EHEC/PEG or TB/EHEC). All results indicate mixed hydrophobic associations between graft and block copolymers. Moderate viscosity enhancements were found on addition of HM-PEG to HM-EHEC, and the effects were larger for TB than for DB. The viscosity changes were quite sensitive to the concentration of HM-EHEC. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (Less)
