Influence of surfactants on the properties of amphphilic polymer solutions

Abstract
The surface activity of amphiphilic polymers increases with an increase in the content of hydrophobic groups in the polymer and in the presence of low molecular weight surfactants. Binary systems containing methacrylic acid copolymer with а-pinene and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide show that the toluene solubilization increases by 1,4 times compared to a polymer without surfactant and by 1,3 times when the surfactant concentration in the solution is below the critical micelle concentration.
