Abstract
A novel series of polymeric surfactants based on carboxy methyl cellulose and alkyl poly(etheroxy) acrylate was synthesized by ultrasonic irradiation. The structures of the copolymers were identified by viscometry, GPC, IR, DSC, and polarized light microscopy. The unique ultrasonic copolymerization mechanism renders a blocky nature to the copolymers prepared. The polymeric surfactants show excellent surface and interfacial properties.
