Interpolymer complexes

Interpolymer complexes, also known as interpolymer or polymer-polymer complexes, refer to the associations formed between different types of polymers through non-covalent interactions. These complexes arise when two or more distinct polymer chains, often consisting of different chemical structures or functionalities, interact with each other to create a new ensemble. The interactions leading to the formation of interpolymer complexes can include: 1. **Ionic Interactions**: Electrostatic attractions between charged groups on different polymers.
