Abstract

The polymeric surfactant with quaternary ammonium salt (PQ) was synthesized by cationic ring-open polymerization using boron trifluoride diethyletherate as cationic catalyst. The chemical structure and aggregation behavior of PQ were studied by 1H NMR, surface tension, static light scattering, dynamic laser light scattering, electrical conductivity, and fluorescence measurement. The results show the surface tension (γcmc) and critical micelle concentration (cmc) of PQ decrease with increasing of sodium chloride concentration. The cmc and γcmc values of PQ measured by electrical conductivity and fluorescence measurements mainly identify with that obtained by surface tension measurements. The thermodynamic parameters (\( \Delta G_m^0 \),\( \Delta H_m^0 \),\( \Delta S_m^0 \)) from electrical conductivity indicated that the micellization of PQ was mainly the process of entropy-driven. In addition, the results from the viscosity stability between hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) and PQ showed that the viscosities of mixed system for HPAM and PQ are higher than the viscosity of HPAM.
