Abstract: Measurements of the dynamic elasticity of an adsorption film of poly(vinylpyridinium chloride)/sodium dodecylsulfate (PVP/SDS) complexes indicate a structure transition in the film when the surfactant concentration approaches the concentration of PVP monomers and show that the rate of relaxation processes in polyelectrolyte/surfactant adsorption films is determined by the properties of the polymer chain.

Keywords: polyelectrolyte/surfactant complexes, aqueous solutions, surface properties, surface tension, surface viscoelasticity.
