This work focuses on the AFM study of the aggregation morphology and association mechanism of the hydrophobically‐association water‐soluble polymer P (AM‐AA‐BPAM) in aqueous solution. It shows that the P (AM‐AA‐BPAM) molecule chain, which has hydrophobic and hydrophilic ionic groups, forms the “spherical” aggregations as micelles below 0.2 g · dL −1 , and then connect each other to form the string‐like aggregations, which produce large viscosity for the polymer solution. It is also coincident with the FCS, DLS, and viscosity study result. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 93: 1175–1178, 2004
