The interaction between sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and nonionic polymer polyacrylamide (PAM) wasinvestigated by viscosity and conductivity measurements at 298 K. The experimental results show that the criticalaggregation concentration (CAC) value of SDS + 1 % mass fraction PAM only decreases a little as comparedwith the value of critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the surfactant SDS. The maximum viscosity of SDS +1 % mass fraction PAM indicated that PAM chain extended at the binding site. When SDS concentration isabove the CAC, the viscosity of SDS + 1 wt % PAM decreases reflecting the contraction of polymer PAMchains. The free energy of polymer-bound micelle is negative, indicating a strong interaction between SDS andPAM.
