Abstract

The results of conductivity measurements for aqueous solutions of poly(1,3-propylene phosphate) (PPP), which can be considered as a synthetic analogue of naturally occurring teichoic acids, are reported. Experiments were carried out with oligomeric fractions of a polymer in acidic, sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium forms. The concentration and molecular weight dependence of the equivalent conductivity of PPP was analysed and the limiting equivalent conductivity determined. From the conductivity data, the polyion-counterion interaction parameter F and the equivalent conductivity of a polyion λ p were calculated. It was shown that both F and λ p depend on polyelectrolyte solution concentration and molecular weight of PPP. Conclusions concerning mono- and divalent metal ions binding to PPP are drawn.
