摘要
We study adsorption-desorption kinetics of polymer chains at a solid surface. Protiopolystyrene, adsorbed from dilute cyclohexane to a single solid surface of oxidized silicon, was displaced by deuteriopolystyrene. A single time constant, tau(off), described displacement for a significant time (1-3 h), followed by a period of slower desorption kinetics. An aging effect, in which tau(off) continued to increase even after the mass adsorbed had equilibrated, implied surprisingly slow rearrangements of adsorbed chains in the direction of conformational equilibrium. After long aging times, ranging from hours to days, tau(off) reached a plateau value. This equilibrated desorption time increased exponentially with the length of adsorbed chains.
