Summary
The complex formation between copper and a number of polyelectrolytes derived from amino-acids was studied by viscosimetry. It was concluded that the complexes involving two side chains of the polymer form between two neighbouring side chains of the same polymeric chain. The effect of copper on the viscosity of the polymer solutions was thus accounted for mainly by changes in the net charge of the polymer and changes in the electrostatic interactions.
