The invention discloses a method for testing the influence of the
mass concentration on the
apparent viscosity of a hydrophobic association
polymer. The method comprises the following steps: 1, preparing the hydrophobic association
polymer; 2, dissolving the hydrophobic association
polymer in a
solvent to form solutions having different
mass concentrations; 3, respectively placing the hydrophobic association polymer solutions in experiment containers; 4, respectively placing the experiment containers in
water baths having a same temperature; and 5, measuring the apparent viscosities of the hydrophobic association polymer solutions having different
mass concentrations under a same stirring condition through a
viscometer, and analyzing data to obtain the influence of the mass concentration of the hydrophobic association polymer on the
apparent viscosity. The method can be successfully applied to test the influence of the mass concentration on the
apparent viscosity of the hydrophobic association polymer, and has the advantages of accurate test result, simple test steps, and substantial reduction of the test cost.
