| Zusammenfassung: | The interfacial structuring of Acacia gum at various pH values on self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces was investigated in order to evaluate the respective importance of surface versus biopolymer hydration in the adsorption process of the gum. To this end, SAMs with four different ending chemical functionalities (-CH3, -OH, -COOH, and -NH2) were used on gold surfaces, and the gum adsorption was monitored using multiparametric surface plasmon resonance (MP-SPR) and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation. Surface modification with alkanethiol and the subsequent adsorption of Acacia gum were also characterized by contact angle measurements using both sessile drop and captive bubble methods. According to MP-SPR results, this study demonstrated that gum adsorbed on all surfaces and that adsorption is the most favorable at both acid pH and hydrophobic environments, i.e., when both the surface and the biopolymer are weakly hydrated and more prone to interfacial dehydration. These results reinforce our recent proposal of interfacial dehydration-induced structuring of biopolymers. Increasing the pH logically decreased the adsorption capacity, especially on a hydrophilic surface, enhancing the hydration rate of the layer. A hydrophilic surface is unfavorable to Acacia gum adsorption except if the surface presents a negative surface charge. In this case, interfacial charge dehydration was promoted by attractive electrostatic interactions between the surface and biopolymers. In the aggregate, the water percentage and the viscoelastic properties were closely related to the properties of the surface function: the negative charge and hydrophobicity significantly increased the hydration rate and viscoelastic properties with the pH, while the positive charge induced a rigid and more dehydrated layer |
