Modification of the Quartz Surface by the Adsorption of a Cationic Polyelectrolyte

A capillary electrokinetics method is applied to measure the electrokinetic potential of the surface of quartz capillaries during the continuous flow of the aqueous solutions of a cationic polyelectrolyte (PE). At a low polymer concentration (10^–5 g/l), the adsorption is determined mainly by the electrostatic forces and its kinetics, by the conformational rearrangement of adsorbed macromolecules. As the concentration of PE increases, the charge of quartz surface reverses; and further adsorption is due to the forces of hydrophobic and molecular attraction between macromolecules. The adsorption energy is estimated for this case. The charge reversal of the surface is associated with the presence of adsorption sites of two different types. At a low concentration of PE, the adsorption takes place on negatively charged sites of quartz surface. At higher concentrations of PE, after the neutralization of the surface, the adsorbed PE molecules become new adsorption sites, and the adsorption acquires two-layer character. After adsorption, the quartz surface is hydrophobized: the contact angle measured by the bubble method is close to 33°–34°.     

Adsorption of Cationic Polyelectrolyte on Quartz from Aqueous Background Electrolyte Solution at pH 3

Adsorption isotherm of cationic polyelectrolyte, poly(styrene-co-dimethylaminopropylmaleimide), (molecular mass is 2 × 10⁴) on the surface of fused quartz in aqueous 10^–4 M KCl solution at pH 3 was measured by the method of capillary electrokinetics. The limiting coverage of adsorption layer corresponds to surface charge ₀ = 0.82 C/mol that exceeds the value obtained earlier at pH 6.5. However, if one takes into account the higher charge of a macromolecule at pH 3, the values of packing density of copolymer molecules in completely filled adlayers appeared to be close: 7.88 × 10¹⁰ at pH 3 and 7.27 × 10¹⁰ cm^–2 at pH 6.5. The average binding energy of the molecules and the quartz surface calculated by the Langmuir equation is equal approximately to 21kT and lies between the values of the energy of electrostatic (25.4kT) and hydrophobic (17.7kT) adsorption at pH 6.5 calculated earlier. It can be assumed that, at pH 3, charged units of a macromolecule form ion–dipole bonds with silanol groups, while uncharged groups form hydrophobic bonds with siloxane surface sites.     

Regularities of the Two-Layer Adsorption of Anionic Surfactant and Cationic Polyelectrolyte on the Fused Quartz Surface

The adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the quartz capillary surface that was preliminarily covered with a layer of cationic polyelectrolyte (CPE) is studied. The charge sign change of the modified quartz surface and subsequent increase of negative surface charge observed upon the adsorption of SDS indicate the formation of the second adsorption layer composed of surfactant molecules. It is shown that the surfactant layer is stronger attached to the surface at a higher charge of the CPE adsorption layer. Upon the formation of the surfactant layer on a looser CPE adsorption layer, the desorption of SDS molecules decreases, which can be associated with the partial penetration of these molecules into the CPE layer.__________Translated from Kolloidnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 67, No. 4, 2005, pp. 573–574.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Sergeeva, Ermakova, Anuchkina, Sobolev, Churaev.     

Wetting Films of the Aqueous Cationic Polyelectrolyte Solutions on Quartz

It was shown that the stability of the wetting films of aqueous cationic polyelectrolyte solutions on the flat quartz surface depends on solution concentration. At a low concentration, the films are stable owing to the electrostatic repulsive forces. At a high polyelectrolyte concentration, the films are unstable due to the hydrophobization of quartz and the appearance of the hydrophobic attractive forces in the films. In the intermediate concentration range, the films are metastable and their lifetime depends upon the competition between the electrostatic repulsive and hydrophobic attractive forces. Thus, the concentration of cationic polyelectrolyte substantially affects the wetting conditions of the quartz surface. This conclusion can also be extended to other solid surfaces negatively charged in aqueous solutions, which is inherent to the majority of natural materials.     

Adsorption of Cationic Surfactants on Silica Surface: 1. Adsorption Isotherms and Surface Charge

Adsorption isotherms of cationic surfactant, dodecylpyridinium chloride, on an Aerosil OX50 and isotherms of surface charge against the background of 0.001- and 0.1-M KCl solutions at pH 7 and 9 were measured and analyzed. Different forms of adsorption isotherms of surfactants at low and high electrolyte concentrations are explained from differences in the formation of the surface charge of Aerosil. Comparison of the isotherms of surfactant adsorption and surface charge allowed us to make conclusions about the surfactant orientation and structure of an adsorption layer, as well as to determine the fraction of surfactant molecules in the first and second adsorption layers.     

Mixed Adsorption Layers of Nonionic and Cationic Surfactants on Quartz

Surfactant adsorption on quartz and wetting of glass by aqueous solutions of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, Triton X-100, and their mixtures are studied. It is shown that synergistic adsorption of surfactants from mixed solutions occurs in the region of low concentrations. In the region of high concentrations, mixed molecular aggregates of the cationic and nonionic surfactants are formed on the surface. The structure of the mixed adsorption layers is discussed.     

The Effect of Surface Charge on Adsorption of a Cationic Polyelectrolyte

The regularities of adsorption of a cationic polyelectrolyte, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), on the surface of fused quartz are studied at different values of solution pH by capillary electrokinetics. It is shown that the polyelectrolyte adsorption on a negatively charged surface depends on the value of the surface charge and increases with its growth. At a low charge value (pH 3.8), the polyelectrolyte adsorption increases the quartz surface charge. The driving forces of the adsorption are both electrostatic interaction and forces of nonelectrostatic nature, probably hydrophobic interactions and a change in entropy due to the displacement of counterions from a double layer. The adsorption of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) on quartz from alkaline and neutral solutions is irreversible, which indicates the key role of the electrostatic interaction. At low values of the surface charge, the nonelectrostatic interactions play the main role, thereby resulting in polyelectrolyte desorption.     

The Influence of Added Salt on the Adsorption of a Divalent Cationic Surfactant onto Silica. Adsorption Isotherms and Thermodynamic Modeling

We report the adsorption isotherms for a cationic divalent surfactant on negatively charged silica. The adsorption isotherms, which have been obtained by means of null ellipsometry, have been determined both in the absence and in the presence of added salt. In order to rationalize the data, we resort to thermodynamic modeling. Two models are used. In one, the adsorbed surfactant is assumed to form spherical micelles at the silica surface. In the other, the surfactant is adsorbed as a bilayer. Both approaches are treated using the Poisson–Boltzmann equation. Calculations show that the model based on spherical aggregates is capable of producing adsorption isotherms resembling the experimentally determined ones. The resemblance is not quantitative, and possible reasons for the deviations are discussed, most notably the assumption used in the model that the micellar surface charge density is not allowed to adapt to the charge density of the silica surface. The bilayer model fails to describe the experimentally obtained adsorption isotherms.

Capillary Flow of Cationic Polyelectrolyte Solutions

The flow rates and the dynamic contact angles of aqueous solutions of cationic polyelectrolyte (CPE) in quartz capillaries with radius of 3–4 m are measured. It is shown that the surface tension and viscosity of CPE solutions with concentrations from 10^–1 to 10^–5 g/l are the same as for water. Surface inactivity of CPE leads to the substantial difference between the capillary properties of their solutions and those of surfactant solutions. It is established that, as the solution concentration increases, the advancing contact angles are reduced from 83° to 75°; the receding contact angles lie between 10° and 20°. Large hysteresis of contact angle can probably be related to the formation of metastable wetting film behind the receding meniscus. Surface hydrophobization occurs as a result of the adsorption of CPE molecules on the negatively charged quartz surface. The specific features of the application of CPE solutions in the deposition technology of hydrophobic coatings, the capillary imbibition and displacement of oils from hydrophobic pores are discussed.
