Abstract
We have studied the PMMA viscometric behaviour in the polar binary mixture THF(1)/water(2). The results obtained point out that this mixture presents a synergistic effect in the composition interval 0 < u2<12% (w/w) water. We have found also a sharp variation of the PMMA unperturbed dimensions, kΘ, which can be due to a conformational change. Starting from the evaluation of the intermolecular interaction parameter, B, and the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada exponent, the theta composition of the system has been determined.
