| Zusammenfassung: | The adsorption of the polymer-surfactant mixture of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-sodium dodecyl sulfate at the air-water interface has been studied by neutron reflectivity and surface tension. The observed patterns of adsorption more closely resemble those encountered in weakly interacting polymer-surfactant mixtures, rather than the pronounced enhancements in adsorption observed in strongly interacting polymer-surfactant mixtures, such as in the related poly(ethyleneimine)-sodium dodecyl sulfate mixtures. The adsorption was found to be strongly dependent on solution pH, polymer molecular weight, and polymer concentration. At the lower and higher molecular weights studied, there was little enhancement in the sodium dodecyl sulfate adsorption at low sodium dodecyl sulfate concentrations, whereas at the intermediate polymer molecular weights, some enhancement in the adsorption was observed. For the higher-molecular-weight polymers and at increasingly higher polymer concentrations, a significant reduction of the surfactant at the interface compared to pure sodium dodecyl sulfate occurred for sodium dodecyl sulfate concentrations between the critical aggregation concentration and the critical micellar concentration. The results illustrate the important role of modifying the functionality of poly(ethyleneimine) on surface adsorption |
