The cooperative binding behavior of progressively hydrolyzed polyacrylamide with nonionic surfactant TritonX-100 (Tx-100) at different concentrations and temperatures has been studied viscometrically. The effect of polymer concentration and temperature on association characteristics of surfactant molecules has been investigated tensiometrically. Rationalization of the results (intrinsic viscosity, polymer saturation point, critical aggregation concentration, etc.) in terms of surfactant and polymer concentration as well as temperature has been attempted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
