Rheology and interfacial properties of aqueous solutions of the diblock polyelectrolyte poly(styrene -block -acrylic acid)

In aqueous solutions diblock polyelectrolytes with amphiphilic character form aggregate structures, which affect physical properties such as viscosity, elasticity, surface tension, and film hydrophilicity. Potential applications for diblock polyelectrolyte solutions include coatings, inks, oil recov...
