Colloid and Polymer Science Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The present light scattering measurements reaffirm the fact that the polyethylene glycol molecules are associated in aqueous solution through the formation of both intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds. The rupture of such association by the addition of either urea or thiourea is also noticed.

Zusammenfassung

Die hier vorliegenden Lichtstreuungsmessungen bekräftigen die Tatsache, daß Polyäthylenglykol-Moleküle in wäßrigen Lösungen durch Bildung von intraund inter-molekularen Wasserstoffbrücken assoziiert sind. Durch Hinzufügen von Harnstoff und Thioharnstoff brechen diese Brücken auf.
