Abstract
To improve dispersion stability of water soluble phenol-fomaldehyde resin (PFR) in relatively low salinity water, the effect of hydrophobically associating polymer (HAP) on the dispersion property of PFR in NaCl solution was studied by the measurement of the size and zeta potential of PFR, HAP, and PFR/HAP molecule aggregates in NaCl solution, and the turbidity of PFR and PFR/HAP dispersions. The results show that due to the hydrophobically group on HAP molecule has similar structure as molecular structure of PFR and stronger hydrophobically association of HAP molecules in NaCl solution, HAP, and PFR molecules can form complex molecule aggregates together. The formation of the complex molecule aggregates enhanced the stability of PFR dispersion in NaCl solution.
