Notes:
It is shown that the partial molal volumes (pmv) of the repeat units of nonionic polymers in aqueous solutions calculated from pmv group contributions, obtained from pmv data for small molecules and salts in aqueous solutions, agree in most instances to within ± 1 cm3/mole with the experimental values. The pmv of ionic polymers calculated from pmv group contributions have been found to be always larger than the experimental values. The difference gives a lower bound of the cooperative electrostrictive effect of neighboring charged sites of the polymer chain on surrounding water molecules.
