Abstract:

Interactions between the cationic polyelectrolyte polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PDMDAAC) and sodium decylsulfate as well as sodium decanesulfonate were investigated by surface tension and pyrene fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. We found that although many properties of sodium decylsulfate and sodium decanesulfonate are similar, there are striking differences in their interactions with PDMDAAC. Sodium decylsulfate interacts with PDMDAAC more strongly than sodium decanesulfonate does. The experimental results in this work were explained by the data of the quantumchemical calculation.
