Abstract: The formation of the gradient component in PVA/PAAblend aqueous solution under the electric field has been investigated. The polymer blend aqueous solution was prepared by dissolving PVA/PAA(70/30) in aqueous solution at room temperature. As a kind of polyelectrolytes, PAAcan ionize into PAAn- and nH+ in the PVA/PAAblend aqueous solution. The PAAn- anions should migrate to the anode under the electric field, accompanied with the PVAmoving to the cathode because of the concentration diffusion. The concentration of PAAalong the electric field was determined by measuring the local pHof the aqueous solution. The gradient component distribution was formed in the PVA/PAAblend along the electric field.
