Abstract
The rheology of polymer latices containing 35 kg/mole polyethylene oxide ch ains with C-16 and C-18 terminal hydrophobes is correlated by accounting fo r adsorption of polymer onto the particles and the viscoelasticity of the s olution itself, indicating that direct interactions between the particles i ncrease the low shear viscosity and introduce a power law spectrum of longe r relaxation times.
