Intermolecular Associations in Hydrophobically-Modified Derivatives of Propyleneglycol Alginate
A partially esterified derivative of sodium alginate was substituted by various long-chain alkylamines. The resulting amphiphilic polymers exhibit intermolecular hydrophobic associations in semidilute aqueous solution, evidenced by rheological measurements and fluorcscence spectroscopy experiments.
