Abstract

With the help of high-speed photography, the microscopic laws of alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) droplet deformation under high voltage alternating current (AC) electric field were studied. The influences of AC electric field intensity and frequency were investigated in detail. Moreover, the synergistic effect of alkali-surfactant-polymer on drop deformation was reported. Experimental results demonstrate that there is a power law relationship between the deformation of alkali-surfactant-polymer droplet and the electric field strength. And it could be inferred that ASP interactions should be responsible for the complex relationship between ASP droplet deformation and the AC electric field frequency.
