Conclusions

The activation energy of viscous flow of systems containing the PVA-PAA graft copolymer is considerably higher than that for solutions of PAA; the activation energy of viscous flow of solutions of mechanical mixtures of PVA and PAA is higher than that of mixtures of PVA with the graft copolymer. This fact is a convincing confirmation of the compatibility of the PVA-(PVA-PAA) graft copolymer system.

The compatibility of this system is also shown by the high stability of the solutions. Thus, 12.5% solutions of the mixture of PVA and the graft copolymer in a ratio of 4/1 do not separate into layers during 3–4 days. The achievement of the compatibility of a mixture of the polymers mentioned by grafting is an important advantage obtained by the modification of polymers by the method of graft copolymerisation.
