Polyacrylamide samples of different molecular mass have 
been obtained under soft conditions by the method of ultrasound destruction. 
The influence of the concentration and molecular parameters of a polymer 
additive on the reduced Toms effect in purely aqueous media and in 
aqueous media containing a surface-active substance and an electrolyte 
(NaCl) has been analyzed.
