Popis: Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in dilute solution undergoes a stable interchain association under high shear flow. This reflected in a sharp decreased in drag reduction (DR). For this flow-indued deformation to occur the PAA must be of the ultrahigh molecular weight (≥ 5×10 -4 M), and in a pH range of 6-8. Addition of a minute amount of salt to the shearing PAA solution induced a full recovery of the DR, suggesting a disruption of interchain association. Fluorescence results suggest that shearing has developed a rigidity along the PAA chain. This is probably the direct resul of supermolecular chain complexation by intercahain H-bonding
