We synthesized fluorinated cationic/anionic guar gums (FCGG and FAGG) and characterized these species using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The degree of fluorine substitution of FCGG (0.26%) and FAGG (0.21%) was calculated by elemental analysis. In addition, we explored the self-assembly and rheological behaviors of FCGG-FAGG complexes by viscometry, scanning electron microscopy, light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, and rheometry. The maximum viscosity and molecular weights were observed with a FAGG:FCGG mass ratio of 7.0:3.0, denoted by COMP. Moreover, FAGG-FCGG interactions in COMP led to the lowest shape factor and critical associating concentration. Additionally, the relaxation time and crossover modulus of COMP (6.65 s and 0.90 Pa, respectively) were remarkably higher than those of FCGG and FAGG alone. Finally, viscoelastic hysteresis loops emerged for FAGG and COMP. The results suggested that the self-assembly behaviors of FAGG-FCGG were influenced by both ionic and fluorinated groups.

我们合成了氟化的阳离子/阴离子瓜尔胶（FCGG和FAGG），并使用傅立叶变换红外光谱和^1对这些物种进行了表征H核磁共振波谱学。通过元素分析计算出FCGG（0.26％）和FAGG（0.21％）的氟取代度。此外，我们通过粘度测定，扫描电子显微镜，光散射，荧光光谱和流变学研究了FCGG-FAGG配合物的自组装和流变行为。用COMP表示的FAGG∶FCGG质量比为7.0∶3.0观察到最大粘度和分子量。此外，COMP中的FAGG-FCGG相互作用导致最低的形状因子和临界缔合浓度。此外，COMP的弛豫时间和穿越模量（分别为6.65 s和0.90 Pa）明显高于单独的FCGG和FAGG。最终，出现了FAGG和COMP的粘弹性磁滞回线。
