Abstract

With streaming potential measurements kinetic and static experiments were performed on the adsorption of poly(ethylene oxide) on glass, in order to obtain the rates of adsorption and desorption and the equilibrium thickness of the polymer layer. The hydrodynamic layer thickness δ h is very sensitive to small changes in the adsorbed amount, especially for high molecular weights near saturation. This enabled one to perform measurements of the kinetics and thickness isotherms in the region near saturation with unprecedented accuracy. It was found that both the adsorption and desorption rate are determined by mass transfer between bulk solution and the surface region
