The adsorption of se veral saturated , linea r polyesters has been studied under a varicty of conditions. The study also included di-n-butyl sebacate as a model low molecul ar weight ester and poly (met hyl m ethacrylate). The adsorbents were type E glass powder, silica, a nd a lumina. The glass powder and silica were nonporous materi als; t he alumina contained a lal'ge internal pore structure. The rate of adsorption of t he polyesters on glass was very ra pid and t he adsorpt on isotherm was irrevcrsible. Adsorption from a poor solven t was favored over adsorpt ion from a good solvent. A large number of sitcs a re available on t he adsorbent for bond format ion and the adsorbed polymer m ost proba bly extends into t he solution in a coiled configuration. Metallic ions, in a ddition to silicon , a ppear to be involved in a n electrostatic bond between t he polymer and t he glass. The Langmuir eq uation is obeyed at high-equilibrium co ncentrat ions, although t hcre is nonconformity at t he low concen trations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
