Abstract
The surface dilational modulus of the star-like block copolymer AP432 and linear block copolymer L64 was studied using the oscillating bubble method at an accessible frequency range of 0.05 to 2 Hz, which was compared with anionic surfactant sodium oleate (C17H33COONa) and the influence of inorganic salt NaNO3 on the surface dilational modulus of AP432 and L64 was also studied. The results indicate that for AP432 and L64 the dilational modulus varies slightly, just decrease gradually with concentrations increasing and never reaches high values with the dilational frequency increasing, but the dilational modulus of C17H33COONa increases gradually with the increase of dilational frequency and pass through the maximum values with increasing concentration. The properties of AP432, L64, and C17H33COONa at the air/water interface were also observed by surface tension measurement. Based on these experimental results, a simple possible adsorption model of these molecules at air/water interface is proposed.
