Connectivity and spacing effects in hydrogen-bonding polymer solutions and blends
In recent experimental work, it was found that the number of hydrogen bonds in polymer mixtures is strongly influenced by chain-connectivity effects and the spacing of functional groups along the chain. In this article, the relationships between the equilibrium constants used to describe the number of hydrogen bonds in mixtures of various types (blends, solutions, random copolymers, etc.) is elucidated and described.
