<p>The formation of H-bonded interpolymer complexes between linear and cross-linked poly(acrylic acid) and poly(vinyl ether of ethyleneglycol) is considered. The effects of pH and concentrations of polymers solution as well as the nature of the solvent on the complexation processes are discussed. It was found that the complexes are formed in aqueous solutions only below some critical pH value, which depends on the concentration of polymers and ionic strength of the solution. The interaction between gel of poly(acrylic acid) swollen in alcohol with solution of linear poly(vinyl ether of ethyleneglycol) is accompanied by formation of turbid layer of polycomplex and contraction of gel.</p>

Abstract A ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy)-functionalized poly(acrylic acid) grafted with poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG), designated PAU-g-PEG, was developed as a high performance polymer binder for Si anodes in lithium-ion batteries. By introducing both a ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) unit, which is capable of self-healing through dynamic hydrogen bonding within molecules as well as with Si, and an ion-conducting PEG onto the side chain of the poly(acrylic acid), this water-based self-healable and conductive polymer binder can effectively accommodate the volume changes of Si, while maintaining electronic integrity, in an electrode during repeated charge/discharge cycles. The Si@PAU-g-PEG electrode retained a high capacity of 1,450.2 mAh g−1 and a Coulombic efficiency of 99.4% even after 350 cycles under a C-rate of 0.5 C. Under a high C-rate of 3 C, an outstanding capacity of 2,500 mAh g−1 was also achieved, thus demonstrating its potential for improving the electrochemical performance of Si anodes.

A poly(acrylamide) sensor has been developed which uses the segmental mobility of another polymer poly(acrylic acid) with an attached fluorescent marker. The system uses interpolymer complexation, which leads to reduced segmental mobility.
