Abstract
This paper is a kinetic study of the interaction between an ionic surfactant and an oppositely charged polymer gel. The volume collapse of the gel enhances substantially the velocity of surfactant uptake, despite the decreased free volume for diffusion. This indicates that the increased charge density of the polymer network accelerates the surfactant binding.
