It has been found that the Huggins coefficient kH of polymer solutions is very sensitive to the concentration of the surfactant, CSDBS, in solutions. If CSDBS is lower than CMC, the critical micelle concentration of SDBS, kH increases rapidly with CSDBS. On the other hand, if CSDBS is larger than CMC, kH decreases rapidly with CSDBS. Comparatively, the intrinsic viscosity of polymer solution does not show a notable change with CSDBS. The experimental results indicate that the interchain association of polymer guar gum in solution is greatly associated with SDBS interacted with polymer chains through hydrogen bonds. However, the effect of SDBS upon the intrachain association of polymer guar gum solution is negligible, presumably due to the fact that guar gum is a slightly stiffened random-coil chain polymer.展开更多
