COMPRESSION STUDIES ON A MONOLAYER OF POLYMER STABILIZED LATTICES AT THE AIR-2 MOLAR SODIUM-CHLORIDE SOLUTION INTERFACE

The two dimensional compression technique of Doroszkowski et al. has been used to study the steric repulsion force for a monolayer of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) stabilized polystyrene latex particles spread at the Air/2M sodium chloride solution interface. Repulsion forces were first detected at a particle separation of 150 nm with a dramatic increase in repulsion at about 15 nm. © 1979 Dr. Dietrich Steinkopff Verlag.
