The effect of organic additives on the local dynamics of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes

The effect of organic additives on the local dynamics of complexes of poly(N-ethyl-4-vinylpyridinium bromide) with sodium dodecyl sulfate is studied with the use of the solubilization of butanol and Triton X-100 as an example. It is shown that, irrespective of the chemical nature of the solubilizate, the addition of organic compounds gives rise to an increase in the local mobility of the micellar phase. In this case, the segmental mobility of the polyelectrolyte in complexes remains unchanged.
