聚氧化乙烯水溶液粘度的测定

测定了不同分子量聚氧化乙烯(PEO)在水溶液中的粘度，发现在低浓度区高分子溶液比浓粘度出现负偏离。用高分子溶液流过时间对浓度作图的外推值t0^*重新计算相对粘度，则高分子溶液比浓粘度与浓度之间满足线性关系。不同分子量PEO水溶液流过时间对浓度作图的外推值t0^*是完全一致的。利用纯溶剂在粘度计中流过时间的改变确定了高分子在毛细管管壁上吸附层的厚度，发现PEO在毛细管管壁上吸附层厚度与分子量无关。

粘度法研究高分子溶液行为的实验改进(Ⅱ)

高分子在粘度计毛细管管壁上的吸附不仅会导致毛细管有效管径减小，而且可以导致毛细管界面性质发生显著改变，具体表现为测定高分子溶液流过时间t之前和之后纯溶剂的流过时间t0和t0′与高分子溶液流过时间t对浓度作图外推到浓度为零时的值t0^*并不一致。不同温度时聚乙烯吡咯烷酮（PVP）水溶液粘度测定结果表明，当吸附讷发子显著改变了毛细管界面性质时，需要将高分子溶液粘度测定方法由t/t0′改为t/t0^*。经过改进的粘度测定方法不仅更加普适合理，而且更加简单有效。     

甲酸-水体系的粘度

甲酸-水二元混合液的粘度已有研究.最近??称粘度组成曲线在甲酸水的克分子比1∶1和1∶2处出现平台,认为是存在两种甲酸-水分子化合物.在早期工作中无此现象,因此作者重新测量甲酸-水体系在25°时的粘度. 粘度测量使用Tsuda式水平粘度计.因为水平粘度计的驱动压力是外加恒压,粘度直接正比于外压与流过时间的乘积,不需要象用一般粘度计时另外测定液体密度再从比密粘度计算,从而消除密度测定所引起的误差.其次,??的实验结果与前人的差

Adsorption of poly(ethylene oxide) at the air/water interface: a dynamic and static surface tension study

The adsorption of polyethylene oxide (PEO) homologues in a wide range of molecular weight (from M(PEO)=200 to 10(6)) at the air/aqueous solution interface was investigated by dynamic and static surface tension measurements. An approximate estimate for the lower limit of PEO concentration was given at which reliable equilibrium surface tension can be determined from static surface tension measurements. It was shown that the observed jump in the earlier published sigma-lg(c(PEO)) curves is attributable to the nonequilibrium surface tension values at low PEO concentrations. The adsorption behavior of short chain PEO molecules (M(PEO)1000) is similar to that of the ordinary surfactants. The estimated standard free energy of PEO adsorption, DeltaG(0), increases linearly with the PEO molecular weight until M(PEO)=1000. In this molecular weight range, DeltaG(0) was found to be approximately the fifth of the hydrophobic driving force related to the adsorption of a surfactant with the same number of methylene groups. In the case of the longer chain PEOs the driving force of adsorption is so high that the adsorption isotherm is near saturation in the experimentally available polymer concentration range. Above a critical molecular weight the PEO adsorption reveals universal features, e.g., the surface tension and the surface density of segments do not depend on the polymer molecular weight.     

Thermo-induced formation of physical "cross-linking points" of PNIPAM-g-PEO in semidilute aqueous solutions

Linear poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) chains grafted with short poly(ethylene oxide) chains (PNIPAM-g-PEO) were prepared by free radical copolymerization of NIPAM and PEO macromonomers (M(w) = 5000 g/mol) end-capped with methacrylate in water. Temperature effects on the solution viscosity of thermally sensitive copolymer were studied in different aqueous concentrations. A specific transition was observed during the measurement of the reduced viscosities of PNIPAM-g-PEO copolymer at a certain concentration (C0) in semidilute aqueous solutions: the reduced viscosities increased sharply (namely, thermothickening behavior) at LCST when concentrations were higher than C0, or decreased sharply at LCST when concentrations lower than C0. A plateau was also found near C0 when temperature was closing to LCST from low temperature, showing there is no change in reduced viscosity under this circumstance. The inverse increase of the viscosities at higher temperatures in higher concentration (> approximately 3 g/L) is attributed to the forming of physical "cross-linking points" composed of collapsed PNIPAM core and expanded PEO shell. The sharp decrease of the viscosities at higher temperatures in lower concentration (< approximately 3 g/L) is attributed to the forming of independent globules. The plateau could be attributed to the equilibrium competition between forming of physical "cross-linking points" and independent globules depending on the copolymer solution concentrations.     

Effect of polyethylene oxide on the viscosity of dispersions of charged silica particles: interplay between rheology, adsorption, and surface charge

In this study a systematic investigation on the adsorption of polyethylene oxide (PEO) onto the surface of silica particles and the viscosity behavior of concentrated dispersions of silica particles with adsorbed PEO has been performed. The variation of shear viscosity with the adsorbed layer density, concentration of free polymer in the solution (depletion forces), polymer molecular weight, and adsorbed layer thickness at different salt concentrations (range of the electrostatic repulsion between particles) is presented and discussed. Adsorption and rheological studies were performed on suspensions of silica particles dispersed in solutions of 10⁻² M and 10⁻⁴ M NaNO₃ containing PEO of molecular weights 7,500 and 18,500 of different concentrations. Adsorption measurements gave evidence of a primary plateau in the adsorption density of 7,500 MW PEO at an electrolyte concentration of 10⁻² M NaNO₃. Results indicate that the range of the electrostatic repulsion between the suspended particles affects both adsorption density of the polymer onto the surface of the particles and the viscosity behavior of the system. The adsorbed layer thickness was estimated from the values of zeta potential in the presence and absence of the polymer and was found to decrease with decreasing the range of the electrostatic repulsive forces between the particles. Experimental results show that even though there is a direct relation between the viscosity of the suspension and the adsorption density of the polymer onto the surface of the particles, variation of viscosity with adsorption density, equilibrium concentration of the polymer, and range of the electrostatic repulsion cannot be explained just in term of the effective volume fraction of the particles and needs to be further investigated.

The role of the carboxylate head group in the interaction of sodium dodecanoate with poly(ethylene oxide) investigated by electrical conductivity, viscosity, and aggregation number measurements

The binding of sodium dodecanoate (SDoD) to poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in aqueous solution was investigated and compared with the well-known polymer-surfactant complexes formed between PEO and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Electrical conductivity measurements indicated that the concentration ratio of bound SDoD to PEO (on monomer basis) was greater than that for the system PEO-SDS. However, the aggregation numbers of the micelles supported on the polymer chain are practically constant and similar for both surfactants at concentrations lower than the polymer saturation point. The difference in binding capability is explained in terms of a larger PEO coil expansion upon complexation of SDoD than in the case of SDS. An increase in the polymer surface favors the binding of SDoD to PEO in aqueous solution. This conclusion is supported by the results of the viscometric studies of PEO-surfactant solution.     

Poly(ethylene oxide) thin films produced by electrospray deposition: morphology control and additive effects of alcohols on nanostructure

Nanostructured thin films were prepared by electrospray deposition (ESD) from poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) aqueous solution. The surface morphologies of the deposited films were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM images revealed the correlations between the morphologies and the ESD conditions. By changing the applied voltage and solution properties such as viscosity, surface tension, conductivity, and molecular weight, PEO thin films with diverse nanostructures--from nanospheres to nanofibers--were fabricated. It was also revealed that the addition of alcohols to polymer solution, which enables simultaneously changing the viscosity, the surface tension, and the conductivity, enhanced the formation of the fibrous structure. These results indicate that the ESD method is potentially a useful option for producing nanoengineered polymer surface.     

Dynamic adsorption of weakly interacting polymer/surfactant mixtures at the air/water interface

The dynamic adsorption of polymer/surfactant mixtures containing poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with either tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C(14)TAB) or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been studied at the expanding air/water interface created by an overflowing cylinder, which has a surface age of 0.1-1 s. The composition of the adsorption layer is obtained by a new approach that co-models data obtained from ellipsometry and only one isotopic contrast from neutron reflectometry (NR) without the need for any deuterated polymer. The precision and accuracy of the polymer surface excess obtained matches the levels achieved from NR measurements of different isotopic contrasts involving deuterated polymer, and requires much less neutron beamtime. The PEO concentration was fixed at 100 ppm and the electrolyte concentration at 0.1 M while the surfactant concentration was varied over three orders of magnitude. For both systems, at low bulk surfactant concentrations, adsorption of the polymer is diffusion-controlled while surfactant adsorption is under mixed kinetic/diffusion control. Adsorption of PEO is inhibited once the surfactant coverage exceeds 2 μmol m(-2). For PEO/C(14)TAB, polymer adsorption drops abruptly to zero over a narrow range of surfactant concentration. For PEO/SDS, inhibition of polymer adsorption is much more gradual, and a small amount remains adsorbed even at bulk surfactant concentrations above the cmc. The difference in behavior of the two mixtures is ascribed to favorable interactions between the PEO and SDS in the bulk solution and at the surface.

Studies on the viscosity behavior of polymer solutions at low concentrations

Viscosity measurements had been made on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) solutions down to low concentrations. It was found that defined as the flow time of the pure solvent in ideal conditions and obtained practically by extrapolating the flow time of polymer solution t to zero concentration, was not equal to the flow time of the pure solvent t₀ measured. The reduced viscosity η_sp/C determined by (t/t₀-1)/C exhibited either a drastic increase or a significant decrease with dilution, depending upon the polymer solution investigated. On the other hand, η_sp/C determined by was proportional to C even at low concentrations. The anomalous viscosity behavior of neutral polymer solutions at low concentrations, therefore, was due to the incorrect method by which η_sp/C was determined. The detailed experiments indicated that the effective diameter of the viscometer capillary, the surface property of the capillary wall and the additional pressure corresponding to the measurement of t and t₀ for PVA, PVP and PEO solutions were not the same. Taking into account the contact anger and the surface tension of the liquid, together with the geometric parameter of the viscometer, the influence of the additional pressure upon the flow time measurement could be studied quantitatively. The calculation was in a good agreement with the experimental result. According to the method presented in this paper, the thickness of the adsorbed polymer layers on the capillary walls could be determined. It was noted that the thickness of the adsorbed polymer layers on the capillary walls was closely related to the solvent in which the polymer molecules were dissolved. The polymer molecular weight, however, had little or no effect on the thickness of the adsorbed polymer layers on the walls of the viscometer capillary.     

Interaction between poly(ethylene oxide) and sodium dodecyl sulfonate as studied by surface tension, conductivity, viscosity, electron spin resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance

The aggregation of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (AS) in aqueous solution containing various amounts of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) has been investigated by different experimental techniques. The experimental techniques include surface tension, conductivity, viscosity, electron spin resonance (ESR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The critical aggregate concentration of AS on polymer strands as well as the concentration where the polymer becomes saturated with surfactant has been determined. Both ESR and NMR results indicate that the AS–PEO complex forms a more “open” structure and that PEO may penetrate into the interior of the micelles.
