“…Therefore, it is important to investigate the interaction between gemini surfactants and water‐soluble polymers in consideration of their future application in industrial formulations. In the literature about the interaction of gemini surfactant with polymer, reports are mostly about the interaction of gemini surfactants with oppositely charged polymers (Burrows et al, ; Deng, Cao, & Wang, ; Kang, Peng, Liang, Han, & Liu, ; Tardioli, Bonincontro, La, & Muzzalupo, ; Vongsetskul et al, ; Wang, Fan, & Wang, ; Wang & Wang, ; Wang, Yan, Ma, & Li, ; Zana & Benrraou, ) and uncharged polymers (Ali, Suhail, Ghosh, Kamil, & Kabir‐ud‐din, ; Bai, Yujie Wang, Yan, Thomas, & Kwak, ; Kästner & Zana, ; Muzzalupo et al, ; Qiu, Cheng, Xie, & Shen, ; Wang et al, ; Wang, Tang, & Wang, ; Wang & Wang, ; Wettig & Verrall, ), and reports about that of anionic gemini surfactant with anionic polymer are rare (Lai et al, ). Actually, such mixtures are widely applied in enhanced oil recovery.…”
