Abstract
Gel permeation chromatography and viscosity behavior of a cationic polyelectrolyte, poly(4-vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride), in aqueous solution were studied as an appropriate eluting solvent for GPC, 0.1 mol 1−1 sodium sulfate containing 2.5% acetic acid was used with this eluting solvent, the molecular weight distribution of this polycation could be determined with no difficulty. It was found that the intrinsic viscosity of a chloride salt of this polycation as a function of molecular weight and added salt concentration followed the relation presented for poly(sodium acrylate) in aqueous sodium chloride. Moreover, from the difference in viscosity behavior between the chloride and iodide salts of the polycation the existence of a specific interaction between iodide ion and the trimethylammonium group was suspected.
