title: Analysis of some synthetic co-polymers from their titration curves in non-aqueous media.
abstract: Electrometric titration in non-aqueous solvents is used for the analysis of some synthetic co-polymers with acidic and basic functional groups. The composition of the co-polymers can be deduced from the determination of these groups. The enhanced acidic/basic character of some of the functional groups in the co-polymer chain is interpreted in terms of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, and the inductive effect of the substituents. The nature of the titration curves is explained in terms of ion-association and homoconjugation.
