3 Results and Discussions

31 Surface Tension of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed System Itis well known that surfactants reduce the surface tension ofwater by getting adsorbed on the liquid-gas interface TheCMC one of the main parameters for surfactants is theconcentration at which surfactant solutions begin to formmicelles in large amounts [22] Different techniques are usedto examine the water-soluble polymer-surfactant aggregatesformed in solution [31 32] Surface tensions of surfactant (BS-12) solutions at different concentrations were measured andplotted as a function of concentrations (Figure 3) Figure 3shows that the CMC and the surface tension have been alarge change after adding polymers into surfactant solutionsWhen polymers are not added the CMC and the CMC of thesurface tension areminimalTheCMCvalue of BS-12 is about300 ppm and the surface tension is about 313mNm Afterthe polymers being added the surfactant CMC and the CMCof surface tensions gradually increase with the incrementof polymer concentrations When HAPAM concentration isabout 2000 ppm the CMC of the mixed system is about500 ppm and the surface tension increases to 334mNmKhan et al also found the same behavior of polyacrylamidesolutions in the presence of SDBS [22] The reason for thisphenomenon is that hydrophobic groups of polymers willinteract with surfactant hydrophobic parts and some sur-factants are shackled in the bulk phase Shackled surfactantsincrease with the increment of polymer concentrationsTheyneed to consume more surfactants to form micelles [3]Therefore reaching critical micelles requires higher surfac-tant concentrations Mixed micelles of polymerssurfactantsthat are formed have been inhibitory effect to the surfacetension of surfactants in solution

32 Interfacial Tension of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed SystemThe polymer-surfactant mixed system has been applied inthe oil field owing to reducing the mobility ratio decreaseinterfacial tension (IFT) between the water and the oil [3334] It has been reported that addition of polymers increasesthe IFT of ionic surfactants [3 35] Interfacial tensionsof surfactant (BS-12) solutions at different concentrationsare measured and results are shown in Figure 4 Figure 4shows that oil-water IFT is decreased with the incrementof surfactant concentrations After a turning point the IFT

Figure 5 shows the result that the oil-water dynamicinterfacial tension (DIFT) of BS-12 is affected by the HAPAMconcentrations The DIFT is changed with time increasingThe reduced surfactant IFT and reaching steady state thatrequired time can be reflected by DIFT characteristics Whensurfactant concentrations are 500 ppm the DIFT change isfaster at lower polymer concentrations Therefore oil-waterIFT reaching a minimum need less time The higher concen-trations the polymer is the longer the time reaching a mini-mum of IFT is The reason is that surfactants and associatingpolymers have the strong interaction and oil-water interfacediffusion rates of surfactants which are significantly affectedIn addition the system viscosity increases with the incrementof polymer concentrations and the surfactant spread speed isalso slowed As a result the IFT reaching a minimum needslonger times at the higher polymer concentrations

33 Apparent Viscosity of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed SystemThe effect of BS-12 concentrations on the viscosity of poly-mers is shown in Figure 6 Figure 6 shows that the systemviscosity increases first and then declines with the incrementof BS-12 concentrations When the BS-12 concentration isabout 100 ppm the system viscosity is the largest Badoga etal [36] and Jiang et al [37] have reported that the viscosityof polymer-surfactant mixed systems increases first and thendeclines with the increment of surfactant concentrationsWhen the addition of surfactant concentrations is lowersurfactant molecules in single molecule state are distributedin aqueous solution Surfactant molecular ions and HAPAMmolecular chains interacting with each other make theinteraction of hydrophobic groups forming inner salt keys beopened and the intermolecular association is formed At thismoment the association between polymer molecules pro-moted role and polymer molecular chains is more diastolic

because of the addition of surfactants The solution viscosityis increased with the increment of surfactant concentrationsWhen surfactant concentrations exceed a certain value theinteraction between surfactants and hydrophobic groups ofpolymer chain segments is further enhanced Mixed micellesof polymer-surfactant are formed On the other hand theintermolecular association of polymers is shielded with theincrease of surfactant micellar numbers thus polymer net-work structures are damaged and collapsed The viscosity ofmixed systems is decreased

reduce the effect of polymer concentrations the preparationconcentration of polymers is 2 ppm in experiment For thedilute polymer solution ⟨119877

119892⟩ can be concluded through

extrapolation of the same concentrationswith different anglesin solution then some ⟨119877

119892⟩ are received under different

surfactant concentrations in the same way Their results areshown in Figure 8

Figures 7 and 8 show that 119872119908119886

and ⟨119877119892⟩ of HAPAM

increase first and then decline with the increment of BS-12 concentrations When there are a few surfactants in thepolymer-surfactant mixed system the surfactant moleculesinteracting with polymer hydrophobic groups intermolec-ular association of polymers is strengthened and polymersare more likely to gather to form super molecular structures119872119908119886

and ⟨119877119892⟩ show a trend of increment When surfac-

tant concentrations are about 100 ppm the system viscosityis the largest With the further increment of surfactantconcentrations hydrophobic groups of polymer moleculesare inhibited by cationic groups of surfactant molecularchains The intramolecular association of associating poly-mers forms inner salt key 119872

119908119886and ⟨119877

119892⟩ become smaller

When surfactant concentrations are more than its criticalmicelle concentrations the number of surfactant micellesis increased Hydrophobic groups of associating polymersare separated by surfactant micelles The intermolecularassociation is weakened and supramolecular aggregations aredismantled Thus119872

119908119886and ⟨119877

119892⟩ are further smaller

In order to study zwitterionic surfactant (BS-12) effect onhydrodynamic sizes of polymers in solution the preparationconcentration of polymers is 2 ppm in the experimentParticle size distributions and hydrodynamic radius (⟨119877

ℎ⟩)

of the polymer under different surfactant concentrations aremeasured by dynamic light scattering at a 25∘C and the scat-tering angle is 90∘Their results are shown in Figures 9 and 10Figure 9 shows that particle sizes of HAPAM are unimodaldistribution under no surfactant condition When surfactantconcentrations are about 100 ppm the particle size distri-bution of HAPAM is a wider unimodal and moves to theright Surfactants can enhance intermolecular association ofpolymers and make polymer chains stretch and hydrody-namic radius increase When surfactant concentrations aremore than 400 ppm particle sizes of HAPAM are multi-modal distributions and wider unimodal move to left Thereason is that surfactant micelles are increased with the

increment of surfactant concentrations in solution Somepolymer hydrophobic groups are embedded by surfactantmicelles The intermolecular association of HAPAM is par-tially blocked and the hydrodynamic radius appears to bereducing

Figure 10 shows that ⟨119877ℎ⟩ is increased because of a

small amount of surfactants to be added When surfactantconcentrations are lower the intermolecular association ofHAPAM is strengthened and ⟨119877

ℎ⟩ is increased But the

35 Molecular Aggregation Morphologies of Polymer-Surfact-ant Mixed System The previous research results had beenconfirmed that space network structures of hydrophobi-cally associating polymer are formed exceeding the crit-ical association concentration (CAC) of polymer [3 24]When ionic surfactants are added molecular aggregationmorphologies of HAPAM are affected Different BS-12 con-centrations affectingmolecular aggregationmorphologies areobserved Their results are shown in Figure 11 Figure 11(a) isan AFM photo of HAPAM without surfactants When theHAPAM concentration exceeds the CAC it can be formedobvious spatial network structures in distilled water [39]Figure 11(b) is an AFM photo of HAPAM solution to add100 ppm surfactants Compared with Figures 11(a) and 11(b)when BS-12 concentrations are about 100 ppm the spacenetwork structures become more intense in solution andthe connecting mesh chain beams are thicker especially theintersection part of chain beam Figure 11(c) is an AFMphotoof HAPAM solution to add 400 ppm surfactants Comparedwith Figures 11(b) and 11(c) when BS-12 concentrations areabout 400 ppm the space network structures become sparserWhen surfactants continue to be added the connectingnetwork chain beams are thinner These results show thatadding a few surfactants has a promoting effect on theself-assembly of polymer molecules but the self-assemblyof polymer molecules is inhibited for adding too manysurfactants

4 Conclusions

(1) Adding polymers into dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) solutions the CMC and surface tensions of the

Journal of Chemistry 7

CMC are increased with the increment of HAPAMconcentrations

(2) Zwitterionic surfactant (BS-12) can reduce dodeca-noic-water interfacial tension to about 03mNm BS-12 has been a good ability to reduce the oil-waterinterfacial tension The surfactant (BS-12) interfaceactivity is affected by HAPAM The required timeof interfacial tension balance is longer with polymerconcentrations increasing

(3) When the surfactant (BS-12) concentrations arelower the apparent viscosity apparent weight averagemolecular weights (119872

of gyration (⟨119877119892⟩) and hydrodynamic radius (⟨119877

ℎ⟩)

of HAPAM increase with the increment of BS-12concentrations When surfactant concentrations are100 ppm they are maximum surfactant concentra-tions continue to increase and they begin to declineBS-12 has a great influence on performances ofHAPAM solutions

(4) The hydrophobically associating polymer (HAPAM)can form the obvious spatial network structures ex-ceeding the critical association concentration (CAC)in distilled water When added surfactant (BS-12)concentrations are about 100 ppm the space networkstructures become more intense and the connectingnetwork chain beams are thicker BS-12 concentra-tions continue to increase when concentrations areabout 400 ppm loose network structures are formedand partially loose network structures are broken

3 Results and Discussions

31 Surface Tension of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed System Itis well known that surfactants reduce the surface tension ofwater by getting adsorbed on the liquid-gas interface TheCMC one of the main parameters for surfactants is theconcentration at which surfactant solutions begin to formmicelles in large amounts [22] Different techniques are usedto examine the water-soluble polymer-surfactant aggregatesformed in solution [31 32] Surface tensions of surfactant (BS-12) solutions at different concentrations were measured andplotted as a function of concentrations (Figure 3) Figure 3shows that the CMC and the surface tension have been alarge change after adding polymers into surfactant solutionsWhen polymers are not added the CMC and the CMC of thesurface tension areminimalTheCMCvalue of BS-12 is about300 ppm and the surface tension is about 313mNm Afterthe polymers being added the surfactant CMC and the CMCof surface tensions gradually increase with the incrementof polymer concentrations When HAPAM concentration isabout 2000 ppm the CMC of the mixed system is about500 ppm and the surface tension increases to 334mNmKhan et al also found the same behavior of polyacrylamidesolutions in the presence of SDBS [22] The reason for thisphenomenon is that hydrophobic groups of polymers willinteract with surfactant hydrophobic parts and some sur-factants are shackled in the bulk phase Shackled surfactantsincrease with the increment of polymer concentrationsTheyneed to consume more surfactants to form micelles [3]Therefore reaching critical micelles requires higher surfac-tant concentrations Mixed micelles of polymerssurfactantsthat are formed have been inhibitory effect to the surfacetension of surfactants in solution

32 Interfacial Tension of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed SystemThe polymer-surfactant mixed system has been applied inthe oil field owing to reducing the mobility ratio decreaseinterfacial tension (IFT) between the water and the oil [3334] It has been reported that addition of polymers increasesthe IFT of ionic surfactants [3 35] Interfacial tensionsof surfactant (BS-12) solutions at different concentrationsare measured and results are shown in Figure 4 Figure 4shows that oil-water IFT is decreased with the incrementof surfactant concentrations After a turning point the IFT

becomes to balance If there are no polymers the turningpoint of surfactant concentration and the IFT isminimalTheturning point of surfactant concentration is about 300 ppmand the IFT is about 029mNm With the increment ofpolymer concentrations the turning point of surfactantconcentration and the IFT have shown a trend of incrementThis phenomenon is similar to Figure 2 Hydrophobic groupsof polymers will interact with surfactant hydrophobic partsand bound part surfactants in the bulk phase Ultimatelythe ability of reduced oil-water IFT is declined The shackledeffect is enhanced with the polymer concentrations increas-ing Therefore the reduced oil-water IFT needs to consumemore surfactants On the other hand the IFT of surfactants

Figure 5 Effect of HAPAM concentrations on the dynamic interfa-cial tensions of BS-12

can be inhibited by the viscosity of polymer solutions Chenet al also confirm the result [3]

Figure 5 shows the result that the oil-water dynamicinterfacial tension (DIFT) of BS-12 is affected by the HAPAMconcentrations The DIFT is changed with time increasingThe reduced surfactant IFT and reaching steady state thatrequired time can be reflected by DIFT characteristics Whensurfactant concentrations are 500 ppm the DIFT change isfaster at lower polymer concentrations Therefore oil-waterIFT reaching a minimum need less time The higher concen-trations the polymer is the longer the time reaching a mini-mum of IFT is The reason is that surfactants and associatingpolymers have the strong interaction and oil-water interfacediffusion rates of surfactants which are significantly affectedIn addition the system viscosity increases with the incrementof polymer concentrations and the surfactant spread speed isalso slowed As a result the IFT reaching a minimum needslonger times at the higher polymer concentrations

33 Apparent Viscosity of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed SystemThe effect of BS-12 concentrations on the viscosity of poly-mers is shown in Figure 6 Figure 6 shows that the systemviscosity increases first and then declines with the incrementof BS-12 concentrations When the BS-12 concentration isabout 100 ppm the system viscosity is the largest Badoga etal [36] and Jiang et al [37] have reported that the viscosityof polymer-surfactant mixed systems increases first and thendeclines with the increment of surfactant concentrationsWhen the addition of surfactant concentrations is lowersurfactant molecules in single molecule state are distributedin aqueous solution Surfactant molecular ions and HAPAMmolecular chains interacting with each other make theinteraction of hydrophobic groups forming inner salt keys beopened and the intermolecular association is formed At thismoment the association between polymer molecules pro-moted role and polymer molecular chains is more diastolic

because of the addition of surfactants The solution viscosityis increased with the increment of surfactant concentrationsWhen surfactant concentrations exceed a certain value theinteraction between surfactants and hydrophobic groups ofpolymer chain segments is further enhanced Mixed micellesof polymer-surfactant are formed On the other hand theintermolecular association of polymers is shielded with theincrease of surfactant micellar numbers thus polymer net-work structures are damaged and collapsed The viscosity ofmixed systems is decreased

reduce the effect of polymer concentrations the preparationconcentration of polymers is 2 ppm in experiment For thedilute polymer solution ⟨119877

119892⟩ can be concluded through

extrapolation of the same concentrationswith different anglesin solution then some ⟨119877

119892⟩ are received under different

surfactant concentrations in the same way Their results areshown in Figure 8

Figures 7 and 8 show that 119872119908119886

and ⟨119877119892⟩ of HAPAM

increase first and then decline with the increment of BS-12 concentrations When there are a few surfactants in thepolymer-surfactant mixed system the surfactant moleculesinteracting with polymer hydrophobic groups intermolec-ular association of polymers is strengthened and polymersare more likely to gather to form super molecular structures119872119908119886

and ⟨119877119892⟩ show a trend of increment When surfac-

tant concentrations are about 100 ppm the system viscosityis the largest With the further increment of surfactantconcentrations hydrophobic groups of polymer moleculesare inhibited by cationic groups of surfactant molecularchains The intramolecular association of associating poly-mers forms inner salt key 119872

119908119886and ⟨119877

119892⟩ become smaller

When surfactant concentrations are more than its criticalmicelle concentrations the number of surfactant micellesis increased Hydrophobic groups of associating polymersare separated by surfactant micelles The intermolecularassociation is weakened and supramolecular aggregations aredismantled Thus119872

119908119886and ⟨119877

119892⟩ are further smaller

In order to study zwitterionic surfactant (BS-12) effect onhydrodynamic sizes of polymers in solution the preparationconcentration of polymers is 2 ppm in the experimentParticle size distributions and hydrodynamic radius (⟨119877

ℎ⟩)

of the polymer under different surfactant concentrations aremeasured by dynamic light scattering at a 25∘C and the scat-tering angle is 90∘Their results are shown in Figures 9 and 10Figure 9 shows that particle sizes of HAPAM are unimodaldistribution under no surfactant condition When surfactantconcentrations are about 100 ppm the particle size distri-bution of HAPAM is a wider unimodal and moves to theright Surfactants can enhance intermolecular association ofpolymers and make polymer chains stretch and hydrody-namic radius increase When surfactant concentrations aremore than 400 ppm particle sizes of HAPAM are multi-modal distributions and wider unimodal move to left Thereason is that surfactant micelles are increased with the

increment of surfactant concentrations in solution Somepolymer hydrophobic groups are embedded by surfactantmicelles The intermolecular association of HAPAM is par-tially blocked and the hydrodynamic radius appears to bereducing

Figure 10 shows that ⟨119877ℎ⟩ is increased because of a

small amount of surfactants to be added When surfactantconcentrations are lower the intermolecular association ofHAPAM is strengthened and ⟨119877

ℎ⟩ is increased But the

surfactant concentrations exceed a certain value polymeraggregations are dismantled therefore ⟨119877

ℎ⟩ is reduced

35 Molecular Aggregation Morphologies of Polymer-Surfact-ant Mixed System The previous research results had beenconfirmed that space network structures of hydrophobi-cally associating polymer are formed exceeding the crit-ical association concentration (CAC) of polymer [3 24]When ionic surfactants are added molecular aggregationmorphologies of HAPAM are affected Different BS-12 con-centrations affectingmolecular aggregationmorphologies areobserved Their results are shown in Figure 11 Figure 11(a) isan AFM photo of HAPAM without surfactants When theHAPAM concentration exceeds the CAC it can be formedobvious spatial network structures in distilled water [39]Figure 11(b) is an AFM photo of HAPAM solution to add100 ppm surfactants Compared with Figures 11(a) and 11(b)when BS-12 concentrations are about 100 ppm the spacenetwork structures become more intense in solution andthe connecting mesh chain beams are thicker especially theintersection part of chain beam Figure 11(c) is an AFMphotoof HAPAM solution to add 400 ppm surfactants Comparedwith Figures 11(b) and 11(c) when BS-12 concentrations areabout 400 ppm the space network structures become sparserWhen surfactants continue to be added the connectingnetwork chain beams are thinner These results show thatadding a few surfactants has a promoting effect on theself-assembly of polymer molecules but the self-assemblyof polymer molecules is inhibited for adding too manysurfactants

4 Conclusions

(1) Adding polymers into dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) solutions the CMC and surface tensions of the

Journal of Chemistry 7

CMC are increased with the increment of HAPAMconcentrations

(2) Zwitterionic surfactant (BS-12) can reduce dodeca-noic-water interfacial tension to about 03mNm BS-12 has been a good ability to reduce the oil-waterinterfacial tension The surfactant (BS-12) interfaceactivity is affected by HAPAM The required timeof interfacial tension balance is longer with polymerconcentrations increasing

(3) When the surfactant (BS-12) concentrations arelower the apparent viscosity apparent weight averagemolecular weights (119872

119908119886) root mean square radius

of gyration (⟨119877119892⟩) and hydrodynamic radius (⟨119877

ℎ⟩)

of HAPAM increase with the increment of BS-12concentrations When surfactant concentrations are100 ppm they are maximum surfactant concentra-tions continue to increase and they begin to declineBS-12 has a great influence on performances ofHAPAM solutions

(4) The hydrophobically associating polymer (HAPAM)can form the obvious spatial network structures ex-ceeding the critical association concentration (CAC)in distilled water When added surfactant (BS-12)concentrations are about 100 ppm the space networkstructures become more intense and the connectingnetwork chain beams are thicker BS-12 concentra-tions continue to increase when concentrations areabout 400 ppm loose network structures are formedand partially loose network structures are broken

3 Results and Discussions

31 Surface Tension of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed System Itis well known that surfactants reduce the surface tension ofwater by getting adsorbed on the liquid-gas interface TheCMC one of the main parameters for surfactants is theconcentration at which surfactant solutions begin to formmicelles in large amounts [22] Different techniques are usedto examine the water-soluble polymer-surfactant aggregatesformed in solution [31 32] Surface tensions of surfactant (BS-12) solutions at different concentrations were measured andplotted as a function of concentrations (Figure 3) Figure 3shows that the CMC and the surface tension have been alarge change after adding polymers into surfactant solutionsWhen polymers are not added the CMC and the CMC of thesurface tension areminimalTheCMCvalue of BS-12 is about300 ppm and the surface tension is about 313mNm Afterthe polymers being added the surfactant CMC and the CMCof surface tensions gradually increase with the incrementof polymer concentrations When HAPAM concentration isabout 2000 ppm the CMC of the mixed system is about500 ppm and the surface tension increases to 334mNmKhan et al also found the same behavior of polyacrylamidesolutions in the presence of SDBS [22] The reason for thisphenomenon is that hydrophobic groups of polymers willinteract with surfactant hydrophobic parts and some sur-factants are shackled in the bulk phase Shackled surfactantsincrease with the increment of polymer concentrationsTheyneed to consume more surfactants to form micelles [3]Therefore reaching critical micelles requires higher surfac-tant concentrations Mixed micelles of polymerssurfactantsthat are formed have been inhibitory effect to the surfacetension of surfactants in solution

32 Interfacial Tension of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed SystemThe polymer-surfactant mixed system has been applied inthe oil field owing to reducing the mobility ratio decreaseinterfacial tension (IFT) between the water and the oil [3334] It has been reported that addition of polymers increasesthe IFT of ionic surfactants [3 35] Interfacial tensionsof surfactant (BS-12) solutions at different concentrationsare measured and results are shown in Figure 4 Figure 4shows that oil-water IFT is decreased with the incrementof surfactant concentrations After a turning point the IFT

becomes to balance If there are no polymers the turningpoint of surfactant concentration and the IFT isminimalTheturning point of surfactant concentration is about 300 ppmand the IFT is about 029mNm With the increment ofpolymer concentrations the turning point of surfactantconcentration and the IFT have shown a trend of incrementThis phenomenon is similar to Figure 2 Hydrophobic groupsof polymers will interact with surfactant hydrophobic partsand bound part surfactants in the bulk phase Ultimatelythe ability of reduced oil-water IFT is declined The shackledeffect is enhanced with the polymer concentrations increas-ing Therefore the reduced oil-water IFT needs to consumemore surfactants On the other hand the IFT of surfactants

can be inhibited by the viscosity of polymer solutions Chenet al also confirm the result [3]

Figure 5 shows the result that the oil-water dynamicinterfacial tension (DIFT) of BS-12 is affected by the HAPAMconcentrations The DIFT is changed with time increasingThe reduced surfactant IFT and reaching steady state thatrequired time can be reflected by DIFT characteristics Whensurfactant concentrations are 500 ppm the DIFT change isfaster at lower polymer concentrations Therefore oil-waterIFT reaching a minimum need less time The higher concen-trations the polymer is the longer the time reaching a mini-mum of IFT is The reason is that surfactants and associatingpolymers have the strong interaction and oil-water interfacediffusion rates of surfactants which are significantly affectedIn addition the system viscosity increases with the incrementof polymer concentrations and the surfactant spread speed isalso slowed As a result the IFT reaching a minimum needslonger times at the higher polymer concentrations

33 Apparent Viscosity of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed SystemThe effect of BS-12 concentrations on the viscosity of poly-mers is shown in Figure 6 Figure 6 shows that the systemviscosity increases first and then declines with the incrementof BS-12 concentrations When the BS-12 concentration isabout 100 ppm the system viscosity is the largest Badoga etal [36] and Jiang et al [37] have reported that the viscosityof polymer-surfactant mixed systems increases first and thendeclines with the increment of surfactant concentrationsWhen the addition of surfactant concentrations is lowersurfactant molecules in single molecule state are distributedin aqueous solution Surfactant molecular ions and HAPAMmolecular chains interacting with each other make theinteraction of hydrophobic groups forming inner salt keys beopened and the intermolecular association is formed At thismoment the association between polymer molecules pro-moted role and polymer molecular chains is more diastolic

because of the addition of surfactants The solution viscosityis increased with the increment of surfactant concentrationsWhen surfactant concentrations exceed a certain value theinteraction between surfactants and hydrophobic groups ofpolymer chain segments is further enhanced Mixed micellesof polymer-surfactant are formed On the other hand theintermolecular association of polymers is shielded with theincrease of surfactant micellar numbers thus polymer net-work structures are damaged and collapsed The viscosity ofmixed systems is decreased

reduce the effect of polymer concentrations the preparationconcentration of polymers is 2 ppm in experiment For thedilute polymer solution ⟨119877

119892⟩ can be concluded through

extrapolation of the same concentrationswith different anglesin solution then some ⟨119877

119892⟩ are received under different

surfactant concentrations in the same way Their results areshown in Figure 8

Figures 7 and 8 show that 119872119908119886

and ⟨119877119892⟩ of HAPAM

increase first and then decline with the increment of BS-12 concentrations When there are a few surfactants in thepolymer-surfactant mixed system the surfactant moleculesinteracting with polymer hydrophobic groups intermolec-ular association of polymers is strengthened and polymersare more likely to gather to form super molecular structures119872119908119886

and ⟨119877119892⟩ show a trend of increment When surfac-

tant concentrations are about 100 ppm the system viscosityis the largest With the further increment of surfactantconcentrations hydrophobic groups of polymer moleculesare inhibited by cationic groups of surfactant molecularchains The intramolecular association of associating poly-mers forms inner salt key 119872

119908119886and ⟨119877

119892⟩ become smaller

When surfactant concentrations are more than its criticalmicelle concentrations the number of surfactant micellesis increased Hydrophobic groups of associating polymersare separated by surfactant micelles The intermolecularassociation is weakened and supramolecular aggregations aredismantled Thus119872

119908119886and ⟨119877

119892⟩ are further smaller

In order to study zwitterionic surfactant (BS-12) effect onhydrodynamic sizes of polymers in solution the preparationconcentration of polymers is 2 ppm in the experimentParticle size distributions and hydrodynamic radius (⟨119877

ℎ⟩)

of the polymer under different surfactant concentrations aremeasured by dynamic light scattering at a 25∘C and the scat-tering angle is 90∘Their results are shown in Figures 9 and 10Figure 9 shows that particle sizes of HAPAM are unimodaldistribution under no surfactant condition When surfactantconcentrations are about 100 ppm the particle size distri-bution of HAPAM is a wider unimodal and moves to theright Surfactants can enhance intermolecular association ofpolymers and make polymer chains stretch and hydrody-namic radius increase When surfactant concentrations aremore than 400 ppm particle sizes of HAPAM are multi-modal distributions and wider unimodal move to left Thereason is that surfactant micelles are increased with the

increment of surfactant concentrations in solution Somepolymer hydrophobic groups are embedded by surfactantmicelles The intermolecular association of HAPAM is par-tially blocked and the hydrodynamic radius appears to bereducing

Figure 10 shows that ⟨119877ℎ⟩ is increased because of a

small amount of surfactants to be added When surfactantconcentrations are lower the intermolecular association ofHAPAM is strengthened and ⟨119877

ℎ⟩ is increased But the

surfactant concentrations exceed a certain value polymeraggregations are dismantled therefore ⟨119877

ℎ⟩ is reduced

35 Molecular Aggregation Morphologies of Polymer-Surfact-ant Mixed System The previous research results had beenconfirmed that space network structures of hydrophobi-cally associating polymer are formed exceeding the crit-ical association concentration (CAC) of polymer [3 24]When ionic surfactants are added molecular aggregationmorphologies of HAPAM are affected Different BS-12 con-centrations affectingmolecular aggregationmorphologies areobserved Their results are shown in Figure 11 Figure 11(a) isan AFM photo of HAPAM without surfactants When theHAPAM concentration exceeds the CAC it can be formedobvious spatial network structures in distilled water [39]Figure 11(b) is an AFM photo of HAPAM solution to add100 ppm surfactants Compared with Figures 11(a) and 11(b)when BS-12 concentrations are about 100 ppm the spacenetwork structures become more intense in solution andthe connecting mesh chain beams are thicker especially theintersection part of chain beam Figure 11(c) is an AFMphotoof HAPAM solution to add 400 ppm surfactants Comparedwith Figures 11(b) and 11(c) when BS-12 concentrations areabout 400 ppm the space network structures become sparserWhen surfactants continue to be added the connectingnetwork chain beams are thinner These results show thatadding a few surfactants has a promoting effect on theself-assembly of polymer molecules but the self-assemblyof polymer molecules is inhibited for adding too manysurfactants

4 Conclusions

(1) Adding polymers into dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) solutions the CMC and surface tensions of the

Journal of Chemistry 7

CMC are increased with the increment of HAPAMconcentrations

(2) Zwitterionic surfactant (BS-12) can reduce dodeca-noic-water interfacial tension to about 03mNm BS-12 has been a good ability to reduce the oil-waterinterfacial tension The surfactant (BS-12) interfaceactivity is affected by HAPAM The required timeof interfacial tension balance is longer with polymerconcentrations increasing

(3) When the surfactant (BS-12) concentrations arelower the apparent viscosity apparent weight averagemolecular weights (119872

119908119886) root mean square radius

of gyration (⟨119877119892⟩) and hydrodynamic radius (⟨119877

ℎ⟩)

of HAPAM increase with the increment of BS-12concentrations When surfactant concentrations are100 ppm they are maximum surfactant concentra-tions continue to increase and they begin to declineBS-12 has a great influence on performances ofHAPAM solutions

(4) The hydrophobically associating polymer (HAPAM)can form the obvious spatial network structures ex-ceeding the critical association concentration (CAC)in distilled water When added surfactant (BS-12)concentrations are about 100 ppm the space networkstructures become more intense and the connectingnetwork chain beams are thicker BS-12 concentra-tions continue to increase when concentrations areabout 400 ppm loose network structures are formedand partially loose network structures are broken

Figure 5 shows the result that the oil-water dynamicinterfacial tension (DIFT) of BS-12 is affected by the HAPAMconcentrations The DIFT is changed with time increasingThe reduced surfactant IFT and reaching steady state thatrequired time can be reflected by DIFT characteristics Whensurfactant concentrations are 500 ppm the DIFT change isfaster at lower polymer concentrations Therefore oil-waterIFT reaching a minimum need less time The higher concen-trations the polymer is the longer the time reaching a mini-mum of IFT is The reason is that surfactants and associatingpolymers have the strong interaction and oil-water interfacediffusion rates of surfactants which are significantly affectedIn addition the system viscosity increases with the incrementof polymer concentrations and the surfactant spread speed isalso slowed As a result the IFT reaching a minimum needslonger times at the higher polymer concentrations

33 Apparent Viscosity of Polymer-Surfactant Mixed SystemThe effect of BS-12 concentrations on the viscosity of poly-mers is shown in Figure 6 Figure 6 shows that the systemviscosity increases first and then declines with the incrementof BS-12 concentrations When the BS-12 concentration isabout 100 ppm the system viscosity is the largest Badoga etal [36] and Jiang et al [37] have reported that the viscosityof polymer-surfactant mixed systems increases first and thendeclines with the increment of surfactant concentrationsWhen the addition of surfactant concentrations is lowersurfactant molecules in single molecule state are distributedin aqueous solution Surfactant molecular ions and HAPAMmolecular chains interacting with each other make theinteraction of hydrophobic groups forming inner salt keys beopened and the intermolecular association is formed At thismoment the association between polymer molecules pro-moted role and polymer molecular chains is more diastolic

increase first and then decline with the increment of BS-12 concentrations When there are a few surfactants in thepolymer-surfactant mixed system the surfactant moleculesinteracting with polymer hydrophobic groups intermolec-ular association of polymers is strengthened and polymersare more likely to gather to form super molecular structures119872119908119886

of the polymer under different surfactant concentrations aremeasured by dynamic light scattering at a 25∘C and the scat-tering angle is 90∘Their results are shown in Figures 9 and 10Figure 9 shows that particle sizes of HAPAM are unimodaldistribution under no surfactant condition When surfactantconcentrations are about 100 ppm the particle size distri-bution of HAPAM is a wider unimodal and moves to theright Surfactants can enhance intermolecular association ofpolymers and make polymer chains stretch and hydrody-namic radius increase When surfactant concentrations aremore than 400 ppm particle sizes of HAPAM are multi-modal distributions and wider unimodal move to left Thereason is that surfactant micelles are increased with the

increment of surfactant concentrations in solution Somepolymer hydrophobic groups are embedded by surfactantmicelles The intermolecular association of HAPAM is par-tially blocked and the hydrodynamic radius appears to bereducing

Figure 10 shows that ⟨119877ℎ⟩ is increased because of a

small amount of surfactants to be added When surfactantconcentrations are lower the intermolecular association ofHAPAM is strengthened and ⟨119877

ℎ⟩ is increased But the

surfactant concentrations exceed a certain value polymeraggregations are dismantled therefore ⟨119877

ℎ⟩ is reduced

35 Molecular Aggregation Morphologies of Polymer-Surfact-ant Mixed System The previous research results had beenconfirmed that space network structures of hydrophobi-cally associating polymer are formed exceeding the crit-ical association concentration (CAC) of polymer [3 24]When ionic surfactants are added molecular aggregationmorphologies of HAPAM are affected Different BS-12 con-centrations affectingmolecular aggregationmorphologies areobserved Their results are shown in Figure 11 Figure 11(a) isan AFM photo of HAPAM without surfactants When theHAPAM concentration exceeds the CAC it can be formedobvious spatial network structures in distilled water [39]Figure 11(b) is an AFM photo of HAPAM solution to add100 ppm surfactants Compared with Figures 11(a) and 11(b)when BS-12 concentrations are about 100 ppm the spacenetwork structures become more intense in solution andthe connecting mesh chain beams are thicker especially theintersection part of chain beam Figure 11(c) is an AFMphotoof HAPAM solution to add 400 ppm surfactants Comparedwith Figures 11(b) and 11(c) when BS-12 concentrations areabout 400 ppm the space network structures become sparserWhen surfactants continue to be added the connectingnetwork chain beams are thinner These results show thatadding a few surfactants has a promoting effect on theself-assembly of polymer molecules but the self-assemblyof polymer molecules is inhibited for adding too manysurfactants

4 Conclusions

(1) Adding polymers into dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) solutions the CMC and surface tensions of the

Journal of Chemistry 7

CMC are increased with the increment of HAPAMconcentrations

(2) Zwitterionic surfactant (BS-12) can reduce dodeca-noic-water interfacial tension to about 03mNm BS-12 has been a good ability to reduce the oil-waterinterfacial tension The surfactant (BS-12) interfaceactivity is affected by HAPAM The required timeof interfacial tension balance is longer with polymerconcentrations increasing

(3) When the surfactant (BS-12) concentrations arelower the apparent viscosity apparent weight averagemolecular weights (119872

119908119886) root mean square radius

of gyration (⟨119877119892⟩) and hydrodynamic radius (⟨119877

ℎ⟩)

of HAPAM increase with the increment of BS-12concentrations When surfactant concentrations are100 ppm they are maximum surfactant concentra-tions continue to increase and they begin to declineBS-12 has a great influence on performances ofHAPAM solutions

(4) The hydrophobically associating polymer (HAPAM)can form the obvious spatial network structures ex-ceeding the critical association concentration (CAC)in distilled water When added surfactant (BS-12)concentrations are about 100 ppm the space networkstructures become more intense and the connectingnetwork chain beams are thicker BS-12 concentra-tions continue to increase when concentrations areabout 400 ppm loose network structures are formedand partially loose network structures are broken

of the polymer under different surfactant concentrations aremeasured by dynamic light scattering at a 25∘C and the scat-tering angle is 90∘Their results are shown in Figures 9 and 10Figure 9 shows that particle sizes of HAPAM are unimodaldistribution under no surfactant condition When surfactantconcentrations are about 100 ppm the particle size distri-bution of HAPAM is a wider unimodal and moves to theright Surfactants can enhance intermolecular association ofpolymers and make polymer chains stretch and hydrody-namic radius increase When surfactant concentrations aremore than 400 ppm particle sizes of HAPAM are multi-modal distributions and wider unimodal move to left Thereason is that surfactant micelles are increased with the

increment of surfactant concentrations in solution Somepolymer hydrophobic groups are embedded by surfactantmicelles The intermolecular association of HAPAM is par-tially blocked and the hydrodynamic radius appears to bereducing

Figure 10 shows that ⟨119877ℎ⟩ is increased because of a

small amount of surfactants to be added When surfactantconcentrations are lower the intermolecular association ofHAPAM is strengthened and ⟨119877

ℎ⟩ is increased But the

surfactant concentrations exceed a certain value polymeraggregations are dismantled therefore ⟨119877

ℎ⟩ is reduced

35 Molecular Aggregation Morphologies of Polymer-Surfact-ant Mixed System The previous research results had beenconfirmed that space network structures of hydrophobi-cally associating polymer are formed exceeding the crit-ical association concentration (CAC) of polymer [3 24]When ionic surfactants are added molecular aggregationmorphologies of HAPAM are affected Different BS-12 con-centrations affectingmolecular aggregationmorphologies areobserved Their results are shown in Figure 11 Figure 11(a) isan AFM photo of HAPAM without surfactants When theHAPAM concentration exceeds the CAC it can be formedobvious spatial network structures in distilled water [39]Figure 11(b) is an AFM photo of HAPAM solution to add100 ppm surfactants Compared with Figures 11(a) and 11(b)when BS-12 concentrations are about 100 ppm the spacenetwork structures become more intense in solution andthe connecting mesh chain beams are thicker especially theintersection part of chain beam Figure 11(c) is an AFMphotoof HAPAM solution to add 400 ppm surfactants Comparedwith Figures 11(b) and 11(c) when BS-12 concentrations areabout 400 ppm the space network structures become sparserWhen surfactants continue to be added the connectingnetwork chain beams are thinner These results show thatadding a few surfactants has a promoting effect on theself-assembly of polymer molecules but the self-assemblyof polymer molecules is inhibited for adding too manysurfactants

4 Conclusions

(1) Adding polymers into dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) solutions the CMC and surface tensions of the

Journal of Chemistry 7

CMC are increased with the increment of HAPAMconcentrations

(2) Zwitterionic surfactant (BS-12) can reduce dodeca-noic-water interfacial tension to about 03mNm BS-12 has been a good ability to reduce the oil-waterinterfacial tension The surfactant (BS-12) interfaceactivity is affected by HAPAM The required timeof interfacial tension balance is longer with polymerconcentrations increasing

(3) When the surfactant (BS-12) concentrations arelower the apparent viscosity apparent weight averagemolecular weights (119872

119908119886) root mean square radius

of gyration (⟨119877119892⟩) and hydrodynamic radius (⟨119877

ℎ⟩)

of HAPAM increase with the increment of BS-12concentrations When surfactant concentrations are100 ppm they are maximum surfactant concentra-tions continue to increase and they begin to declineBS-12 has a great influence on performances ofHAPAM solutions

(4) The hydrophobically associating polymer (HAPAM)can form the obvious spatial network structures ex-ceeding the critical association concentration (CAC)in distilled water When added surfactant (BS-12)concentrations are about 100 ppm the space networkstructures become more intense and the connectingnetwork chain beams are thicker BS-12 concentra-tions continue to increase when concentrations areabout 400 ppm loose network structures are formedand partially loose network structures are broken

CMC are increased with the increment of HAPAMconcentrations

(2) Zwitterionic surfactant (BS-12) can reduce dodeca-noic-water interfacial tension to about 03mNm BS-12 has been a good ability to reduce the oil-waterinterfacial tension The surfactant (BS-12) interfaceactivity is affected by HAPAM The required timeof interfacial tension balance is longer with polymerconcentrations increasing

(3) When the surfactant (BS-12) concentrations arelower the apparent viscosity apparent weight averagemolecular weights (119872

119908119886) root mean square radius

of gyration (⟨119877119892⟩) and hydrodynamic radius (⟨119877

ℎ⟩)

of HAPAM increase with the increment of BS-12concentrations When surfactant concentrations are100 ppm they are maximum surfactant concentra-tions continue to increase and they begin to declineBS-12 has a great influence on performances ofHAPAM solutions

(4) The hydrophobically associating polymer (HAPAM)can form the obvious spatial network structures ex-ceeding the critical association concentration (CAC)in distilled water When added surfactant (BS-12)concentrations are about 100 ppm the space networkstructures become more intense and the connectingnetwork chain beams are thicker BS-12 concentra-tions continue to increase when concentrations areabout 400 ppm loose network structures are formedand partially loose network structures are broken
