RESUMO

An adsorbed layer of a cationic polyelectrolyte, poly(diallyldimethyl-ammonium) chloride (PDADMAC) on negatively charged colloidal latex particles was investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). SANS gives a layer thickness of 8 +/- 1 A and a polymer volume fraction of 0.31 +/- 0.05 within the film. DLS gives a somewhat larger thickness of 18 +/- 2 A, and the discrepancy is likely due to the inhomogeneous nature of the layer and the existence of polymer tails or loops protruding into solution. These results show that a highly charged polyelectrolyte adsorbs on an oppositely charged colloidal particle in a flat configuration due to the attractive forces acting between the polyelectrolyte and the substrate.

RESUMO

Deposition of positively charged nanosized latex particles onto planar silica and cellulose substrates was studied in monovalent electrolyte solutions at pH 9.5. The deposition was probed in situ with optical reflectometry in a stagnation point flow cell. The surface coverage can be estimated reliably with island film theory as well as with a homogeneous film model, as confirmed with atomic force microscopy (AFM). The deposition kinetics on the bare surface was of first order with respect to the particle concentration, whereby the deposition rate was close to the value expected for a perfect collector. The efficiency coefficient, which was defined as the ratio of the experimental and theoretical deposition rate constants, was in the range from 0.3 to 0.7. Subsequently, the surface saturated and a limiting maximum coverage was attained (i.e., blocking). These trends were in qualitative agreement with predictions of the random sequential absorption (RSA) model, where electrostatic interactions between the particles were included. It was observed, however, that the substrate strongly influenced the maximum coverage, which was substantially higher for silica than for cellulose. The major conclusion of this work was that the nature of the substrate played an important role in a saturated layer of deposited colloidal particles.

RESUMO

The adsorption of poly(vinylamine) (PVA) on poly(styrene sulfate) latex particles is studied, and its consequences on the charging behavior and suspension stability are investigated. The adsorption process is assessed by batch depletion experiments and time-resolved electrophoretic mobility measurements. The adsorption of PVA appears to be basically irreversible. The rate of adsorption decreases with decreasing polymer dose. At low polymer dose, the polymer coverage corresponds to the amount of the polyelectrolyte added, while at high polymer dose, the polymer coverage saturates the surface. Stability ratios are determined by dynamic light scattering, and strongly depend on the polymer dose and salt level. The aggregation is rapid near the isoelectric point (IEP), and it slows down when moving away from it. The charge neutralization is highly nonstoichiometric with charging ratios (CR) larger than unity, meaning that several charges on an adsorbed polyelectrolyte chain are necessary to neutralize a single charge on the particle surface. By comparing the IEP for particles and polyelectrolytes of different charge densities, we find a strong dependence of the CR on the mismatch between the average distances between individual charges on the surface and on the polyelectrolyte. A simple model is proposed to explain this trend.
