ABSTRACT
GLOSSARY a (a') = ionization degree of a free (polymer-bound) micelle. ap = neutralization degree of a poly(acid). cac: critical aggregation concentration. erne: critical micellization concentration. C2: concentration at which the polymer is saturated by bound surfactant. c1(Cb) =concentration of free (polymer-bound) surfactant. CmEOx: nonionic monoalkylether ethoxylated surfactant; x =number of ethylene oxide units in the headgroup; m = alkyl chain carbon number.

HEC, HM-HEC: hydroxyethylcellulose, hydrophobically modified HEC. ltf h = pyrene polarity ratio. N: number of surfactants making up a micelle or a polymer-bound aggregate. NaPP, NaPAA, NaPSS: sodium poly(phosphate), poly(acrylate), poly(styrenesulfonate). PAA, PMA: poly(acrylic acid), poly(methacrylic acid). PDADMAC: poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride). PEO, PPO: poly(ethylene oxide), poly(propylene oxide). PNIPAM: poly(N-isopropylacrylamide ). PSX: poly(maleic acid-a/t-alkylvinylether) copolymer; X = alkyl chain carbon number.
