The effects of the hydrocarbon chains and spacer groups of a series of sulfate anion Gemini surfactants(Cm-s-m.2Na+) on the rheological behavior are investigated in this paper. Results show that either length of carbon chain increases or length of linking group decreases, solution viscosity increases, C12-2-12.2Na+ has the best viscosifying ability. Then variation of viscosity of C12-2-12.2Na+ solution with concentration, pH, shear rate, temperature, and hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) are observed. Results indicate that viscosity increases as concentration increases; single-chain cationic surfactants make viscosity increases first then decreases; concentration of multivalent ion increases or temperature raises or shear rate increases, corresponding viscosity decreases; while pH increases, corresponding viscosity rises first and decreases later; HPAM can enhance the viscosity of C12-2-12. 2Na+ solution, showing that gemini surfactant has a good synergism with HPAM.
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.
