Abstract: Oppositely-charged polyelectrolytes, i.e., polyanion cellulose methyl carboxyl(CMC) and polycation poly(acrylamide-dimethyldiallyammonium)[(P(AM-DMDAAC)] were used to form interpolyelectrolyte complexed solution CMC/P(AM-DMDAAC). UV spectra and ionic conductivity measurements showed that polyanion CMCcould complex with polycation P(AM-DMDAAC) in aqueous solution through Coulomb forces. The complex with suitable complexing density is water soluble. The apparent viscosity of the complexed solution increases significantly due to the increased hydrodynamic volume, reaching97.4 mPa·s, 5.2 times that of CMCsolution and 90 times that of P(AM-DMDAAC) solution respectively. The particular structure of complexation endows the complexed solution with better viscosity durability under the condition of high temperature and high shear rate than its constituents polymer solutions.
