Effects of poly(ethylene oxide) adsorption on the dispersion of smectites
نویسندگان
چکیده
The adsorption of polymers on clay is important in many applications. However the mechanisms of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) adsorption n smectite and its effect on suspension rheology are not well elucidated at present. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms esponsible for PEO sorption on smectite and how this impacts on dispersive behavior of smectite suspension. The results indicated that the ydrophobic interaction between CH2 CH2 groups and siloxane surface is the major driven force for PEO adsorption on smectite. In addition, EO adsorbed preferentially on the surface of low-charge smectite and the delamination of low-charge smectite in water was enhanced due to PEO dsorption presumably due to the hydrophilic ether oxygen of adsorbed PEO. 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Determination of the surface area of smectite in water by ethylene oxide chain adsorption.
This study investigates the feasibility of using ethylene oxide (EO) chain adsorption to determine the surface area of smectite in water. Experimental results indicate that high-molecular-weight poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) should be used to provide reasonable estimations for monolayer capacity of PEO on smectite. The surface areas of smectites in water are calculated from the monolayer capacity ...
