摘要
Proton NMR relaxation measurements of the solvent in silica dispersions have been carried out as a function of polymer coverage, solution pH, and added displacer. We find that the solvent spin-lattice relaxation rate is enhanced as a result of polymer adsorption and that, with proper calibration, this enhancement can be used to obtain the adsorbed amount in trains. The results are consistent with bound fraction estimates obtained from the Scheutjens-Fleer theory of polymer adsorption and also with recent results on the hydrodynamic thickness of adsorbed polymer layers. Besides information about the conformation of adsorbed polymers, the effective polymer adsorption energy can also be determined by this NMR technique.
