| Abstract: | The interaction of polyacrylamide (PAM) with conventional anionic (sodium lauryl sulphate, NaLS) and gemini anionic (sodium salt of bis(1-dodecenyl succinimic acid), represented as NaBDS) surfactants has been studied in alkaline medium by electrical conductance and surface-tension measurements at 350C in order to compare the behavior of two surfactants toward the polymer. The surface parameters and thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated and compared. The results indicate more readily interaction of anionic gemini surfactant with the polymer (PAM). |
