Abstract
An attempt to evaluate the surface area of hematite and rutile occupied by an adsorbed molecule of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) was made. The surface area occupied by a PVA molecule was evaluated from the changes of surface charge density of the oxides before and after PVA addition in the presence of Cs +, Mg 2+, and Ca 2+ ions. The desorption of an inorganic ion caused by PVA adsorption was taken into account. The configuration of the PVA chain at the solid — liquid interface is also discussed in the light of the results obtained.
