Structure of the complexes formed between sodium dodecyl sulfate and a charged and uncharged ethoxylated polyethyleneimine: Small-angle neutron scattering, electromotive force, and isothermal titration calorimetry measurements

A poly(ethylene oxide) derivative of polyethyleneimine behaves like a strong polyelectrolyte at pH = 2.5 and a neutral polymer at pH 10. Both the charged and uncharged versions of this polymer bind strongly to the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with no phase separation taking place. Binding...
