Polymer-micelle complexes polyethylene oxide

Figure 4. Influence of electrolyte NaCl concentration on the relative viscosity of solutions containing 1000 ppm polyethylene oxide and 8-phenyl hexadecane benzene sulfonate micelles. The polyelectrolyte type behavior of the polymer-micelle complex can be noted.
