Tuning of scleroglucan adsorption on carbonate surfaces via grafting alkyl side chains of different lengths: a theoretical and experimental study

Abstract

The semi-flexible polysaccharide scleroglucan (Sclg) is a well-known viscosity modifier and its highly hydrophilic nature limits its utilization as a polymeric surfactant of high efficiency. Grafting hydrophobic alkyl moieties onto...
