Precipitation of poly(acrylic acid) by added salts has been investigated under various conditions. The PAA was neutralized to various degrees of ionization α by tetra‐n‐butyl ammonium hydroxide. The minimum salt concentrationC̄sat which precipitation occurs was determined at various polymer concentrationCp, temperatureT, and α. The amount of bound cations to polyions, the change in ion hydration, and the polymer expansion nearC̄swere estimated by conductance, refractive index, and viscosity measurements, respectively. It is concluded that there are two kinds of precipitation; TheLtype which satisfies the relationC̄s≐ αCpand occurs at high α due to cation binding to the polyions, and theHtype in whichC̄sis independent ofCpand which appears at low α with salts other than those having large ions. This classification of the precipitation is justified also by theC̄s–Trelation; in theLtype,C̄sis nearly independent ofT, and in theHtypeC̄sincreases withT. At intermediate α‐values pronounced specificities of salt ions are found in the precipitation; at α = 0.25, with Mg2+theHtype appears, while with Ba2+or Ca2+theLtype appears, although all of these divalent cations are bound to polyions to the same degree. This is due to the difference in the hydration of the polyion‐cation complexes. In theL‐type the formation of cation bindings, such as salt bridge, makes the polymer hydrophobic, while in theHtype highly concentrated salt ions render the polymer solution unstable by changing the arrangement of the water molecule.
