Abstract

The volume changes on mixing aqueous solutions of glycine-PEG and L-alanine-PEG were respectively measured with a vibration densimeter as functions of concentration and temperature. The volume changes (Δ m)V for the glucine-PEG-H2O system were positive, and these φv(x,m) values of different total molality almost linearly decreased with an increase in temperature and converged around 110°C by extrapolation. On the other hand, those for the L-alanine-PEG-H2O system were almost zero and independent of temperature. It is considered that the influence of hydration cospheres on glycine-PEG interaction for the glycine-PEG-H2O system disappears around 110°C.
