Molecular characteristics and hydrodynamic behavior of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes in chloroform

Molecular characteristics of polyelectrolyte complexes of the ultrahigh-molecular-weight poly-(N, N-dimethyl-N-benzyl-N-methacryloyloxyethyl)ammonium chloride with oppositely charged surfactants in chloroform were studied by centrifugal sedimentation and viscometry. The effect of oil-soluble surfactants on the hydrodynamic properties of the complexes was examined.
