Steady-state fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence quenching, and isothermal titration microcalorimetry have been used to study the interactions of cationic gemini surfactants alkanediyl-alpha,omega-bis(dodecyldimethylammonium bromide) (C(12)C(S)C(12)Br(2), S = 3, 6, and 12) with hydrophobically modified poly(acrylamide) (HMPAM) and unmodified poly(acrylamide) (PAM). Without addition of gemini surfactant, 0.2 wt % HMPAMs except PAM have already self-aggregated into hydrophobic aggregates. Different from single-chain surfactants, C(12)C(S)C(12)Br(2) have stronger interactions with HMPAMs to form surfactant/polymer aggregates, even with PAM. Addition of C(12)C(S)C(12)Br(2) may cause the disruption of HMPAM hydrophobic aggregates and the formation of mixed micelles. It is found that HMPAMs generate lower micropolarity of mixed micelles, larger values of enthalpy of interaction (DeltaH(ps)), and nearly constant values of Gibbs free energy of interaction (DeltaG(ps)). On the other hand, C(12)C(S)C(12)Br(2) with longer spacer brings out slightly lower micropolarity of mixed micelles, owing to the lower electrostatic repulsion between surfactant headgroups. Especially for C(12)C(12)C(12)Br(2), the values of DeltaH(ps) are much more endothermic and the values of DeltaG(ps) are much less negative. The weaker interactions of C(12)C(12)C(12)Br(2) with HMPAMs arise from the marked reduction of attraction between surfactant headgroups and polymer hydrophilic groups induced by its longer spacer.
