Abstract:

Intrinsic viscosity (η)  and molecular motion in ternary solution of poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) in mixed solvents H2O/C3H6O with different volume fractions of C3H6O were studied by viscosity and T2H measurements and 1H NMR spectroscopy. It was found that: η  increased first and then decreased rapidly with increasing volume fraction of C3H6O. T2H  decreased first and then increased with the increasing volume fraction of C3H6O. A maximum value of η appeared at a C3H6O volume fraction of 40%  at which point T2H had a minimum value. Adding C3H6O destructed hydrogen bonds among the H2O molecules, and dissociated free H2O molecules could be adsorbed by PVP. Some of them might stay in the interior of PVP chain, while others might come to bind -CO of PVP chain. This would lead to increases in coil dimension and η of PVP. On the other hand, hydrogen bonds between PVP and H2O could cause restriction in molecular motion. With a C3H6O fraction volume of 40%, the content of water were not high enough to extend PVP coils. Instead, the existence of water might shrink the PVP coils, making molecules motion faster.
