The competitive adsorption of pyridine with citrate present on Carey Lea silver sols has been observed by surface-enhanced Raman scattering. A strong influence of Cl* on this competitive adsorption is seen. The use of polyvinylpyrrolidone to stabilize colloidal aggregates is reported and competitive adsorption in this system is compared to that in nonstabilized sols.
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.
