The article presents the results of a study on the electrical conductivity of aqueous solutions of water-soluble polymers, including polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and polyacrylic acid, as well as their binary mixtures and polymer solutions in the presence of the monomer 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The primary focus is placed on the influence of the nature and concentration of the polymers, as well as the component ratios in the solutions, on their electrical conductivity. The effect of the monomer on the electrical properties of the investigated polymer solutions is also examined. The obtained results provide deeper insight into the mechanisms of complex formation in multicomponent aqueous polymer systems and can be utilized to optimize the composition of polymer systems in the development of hydrogels with specific and predictable properties.
