ABSTRACT
The specific interactions of local anesthetic lidocaine hydrochloride with poly(acrylic acid) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether), as well as in a triple system composed of the drug and both polymers, have been studied in aqueous solutions by viscometric, turbidimetric, potentiometric, and FTIR spectroscopic methods. The mechanism of the drug binding to the polymers and the structures of the polycomplexes formed are clarified.
