Popis: The aim of the present paper was to study the interaction between polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfoccinate (AOT), as an anionic surfactant, over a temperature range of 25–60 °C by viscosity and electrical conductivity measurements. A coil-to-globule transition of PVP in water was observed. The critical micellar concentration (CMC) was determined by conductivity at 25 and 50 °C. The formation of the complex PVP-AOT in water was studied by conductivity and viscometry at 25 and 50 °C, where the polymer chain adopts respectively coil and globule conformations, and the obtained curves show two break points corresponding to the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) and the polymer saturation point (PSP). The viscometric behavior of PVP-AOT system was studied by using three selected AOT concentrations: CAOT,1, CAOT,2, and CAOT,3 with CAOT,1
