Abstract
The polymer 2-polymer 3 interactions Δb23, for water-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), water-poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)-PVA, water-dextran (Dex)-PVA, water-pullulan (Pul)-PVA, water-PVP-PEG, water-Dex-PEG, water-Pul-PEG, water-PVP-Dex, water-Pul-PVP system were studied. For only the water-Dex-PVA system, Δb23 is positive, but for the other systems negative. This indicates that most polymer pairs have repulsive interactions and are incompatible in water.
