The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium oleate on the structural-rheological properties of a dispersed hydrogel based on polyacrylic acid was studied. It was shown that the viscosity of hydrogel compositions with surfactants is higher than the viscosity of the individual components and increases with increasing temperature from 20 to 40 °C. Compositions with sodium oleate are non-Newton liquids and exhibit thixotropic properties.
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.
