It was found that the viscosity of the anionic copolymer\|CTAB solution rises suddenly in a specific molar ratio of CTAB/anion. For instance, the viscosity of polymer (No.1) solutions increases to about 20 times at CTAB/\|SO\-3K=1.0～1 05, and increases to about 100 times at CTAB/\|SO 3K=1.4～1 5. In the case of polymer samples No.2 and No.3, the changes of solution viscosity are similar to that of sample No.1, but the gelation takes place at CTAB/\|SO\-3K=1.4～1 5 region because of the lower negative charge density on No.2 and No.3 polymer chains. It is proposed that the dramatical change of the P(SPMS-co-St)/CTAB aqueous solution is ascribed to the aggregation behavior of CTAB, then the P(SPMS-co-St) aggregates. This consideration was verified by fluorescence determination and laser light scattering experiments. Using DMAF as fluoresscent probe, the hydrophobic microdomain existed in P(SPMS-co-St)/CTAB aqueous solutions in the viscosity rising region has been confirmed and it is in agreement well with the results obtained by laser light scattering determination.展开更多
