Abstract:

Polymeric surfactants were prepared by ultrasonic copolymerization of carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) and alkyl poly(etheroxy) acrylate. The adsorption mechanism of CMC based polymeric surfactants at silica gel/water interface was studied by the adsorption isotherms, IR difference spectra. The results show that the adsorptive amount goes up steadily with the increasing of copolymer concentration. Because of multicontact adsorption of copolymers at the surface of silica gel, the strong interaction between copolymers and surface of silica gel (such as hydrogen bond), large amount of polymeric surfactants adsorbs on silica gel. The pH value of copolymer solution plays a great role on adsorption, which indicates that the electrostatic action is the main adsorption mechanism of CMC based polymeric surfactants.
