Bloor D M, Wan-Yunis W M Z, Wan-Badhi W A, Li Y, Hoizwarth J F and Wyn-Jones E 1995 Equilibrium and kinetio studies assooiated with the binding of sodium dodeoyl sulfate to the polymers poly(propylene oxide) and ethyl-(hydroxyethyl)oellulose Langmuir 3395-400... 

Poly(ethylene oxide) associates in solution with certain electrolytes (48—52). For example, high molecular weight species of poly(ethylene oxide) readily dissolve in methanol that contains 0.5 wt % KI, although the resin does not remain in methanol solution at room temperature. This salting-in effect has been attributed to ion binding, which prevents coagulation in the nonsolvent. Complexes with electrolytes, in particular lithium salts, have received widespread attention on account of the potential for using these materials in a polymeric battery. The performance of soHd electrolytes based on poly(ethylene oxide) in terms of ion transport and conductivity has been discussed (53—58). The use of complexes of poly(ethylene oxide) in analytical chemistry has also been reviewed (59). 

The addition of an a-hydroxycarboxyhc acid to a tetraethylene, propylene, diethjiene, or hexylene glycol titanate gives water-soluble complexes suitable for gelling aqueous solutions of hydroxyl polymers, such as poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), or cellulose (qv) derivatives. These are useful as binding agents for glass fibers, clays (qv), and paper coatings (85). 

Poly(vinyl acetate) emulsions are used to prime-coat fabrics to improve the adhesion of subsequent coatings or to make them adhere better to plastic film. Plasticized emulsions are appHed, generally by roUer-coating, to the backs of finished mgs and carpets to bind the tufts in place and to impart stiffness and hand. For upholstery fabrics woven from colored yams, PVAc emulsions may be used to bind the tufts of pile fabrics or to prevent sHppage of synthetic yams. 

A series of bonded poly(alkyl aspartamide) coatings was prepared on silica by analogy to the method described above. Poly(succinimide) coating was reacted with n-alkyl- and arylalkylamines in dimethylformamide to yield a series of hydrophobic adsorbents. Poly(propyl aspartamide)-silica (PolyPROPYL A) showed the maximal reversible hydrophobic binding of hemoglobin among the Cl -C5... 

Porous glass (PG) modified with covalently adsorbed poly(p-nitrophenyl acrylate), as described in Sect. 4.1, turned out to be a highly suitable carrier for immobilization of various biospecific ligands and enzymes. When the residual active ester groups of the carrier were blocked by ethanolamine, the immobilized ligands when bound to the solid support via hydrophilic and flexible poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylamide). The effective biospecific binding provided by the ligands... 

Immobilization of A and B blood group oligosaccharide haptens and preparation of immunoadsorbents with specificity to anti-A and anti-B antibodies has been carried out with the use of poly acrylate-coated PG (WPG-PA) [124]. Prespacered A and B-trisaccharide-fl-aminopropylglycosides were used for the synthesis. WPG-PA (1 g) quantitatively binds both haptens (2 pinole) whereas some other activated affinity supports (for example, CNBr-Sepharose 4B) do not. On the other hand, glycidoxypropyl-silica binds prespacered haptens completely but these materials reveal no specific adsorptivity. 

Shimidzu etal.111 studied the catalytic activity of poly (4(5)-vinylimidazole-co-acrylic add) 60 (PVIm AA) in hydrolyses of 3-acetoxy-N-trimethylanilinium iodide 61 (ANTI) and p-nitrophenylacetate 44 (PNPA). The hydrolyses of ANTI followed the Michaelis-Menten-type kinetics, and that of PNPA followed the second-order kinetics. Substrate-binding with the copolymer was strongest at an imidazole content of 30 mol%. The authors concluded that the carboxylic acid moiety not... 

The protein was oxidized and reduced as described in Table 3. This table and the assays for binding of L12 to depleted ribosomes, poly(U>directed polyphenylalanine synthesis, and enzymatic acetylation of L12 to form L7 are from Caldwell and coworkers37. 

The polymerization of aromatic diamines with acid chlorides in solution works well.7 914 35 The basicity of the aromatic diamine is low and acid binding can be achieved with several compounds and even solvents such as TV-methylpyrrolidonc (NMP) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The all-para aromatic amide poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) can be synthesized in DM Ac.7,9,14 To prevent precipitation of the polymer, a salt such as calcium chloride or lithium chloride can be added. It is also possible to react the acid chloride with a silylated diamine ... 

The behaviour of the barium salt of poly-4-vinyl pyridine is similar to that of barium poly-2-vinyl pyridine85). However, its ionic dissociation is substantially higher than that of the latter salt because the nitrogen in para position cannot contribute to intramolecular solvation of the cation that binds it to the chain and prevents its dissociation. 

A great variety of suitable polymers is accessible by polymerization of vinylic monomers, or by reaction of alcohols or amines with functionalized polymers such as chloromethylat polystyrene or methacryloylchloride. The functionality in the polymer may also a ligand which can bind transition metal complexes. Examples are poly-4-vinylpyridine and triphenylphosphine modified polymers. In all cases of reactively functionalized polymers, the loading with redox active species may also occur after film formation on the electrode surface but it was recognized that such a procedure may lead to inhomogeneous distribution of redox centers in the film...
