چکیده
The adsorption of star polymers on a flat solid surface is analyzed by means of scaling arguments based on the Daoud-Cotton blob model For the adsorption of a single star, consisting of f arms compnsing each N monomers, we distinguish three regimes determined by the

Liquid chromatography of theta-shaped and three-armed star poly(tetrahydrofuran)s: theory and experimental evidence of topological separation.
A theoretical background is provided for the methods of the analysis and topological separation of complex macrocyclic polymers by means of size exclusion chromatography (SEC), liquid adsorption chromatography, and liquid chromatography at the critical condition. We focus on a particular problem of the separation of theta-shaped polymers from its three-armed star analogues. Based on the theory,...
متن کاملThermodynamics of linear and star polymers at fluid interfaces.
Performing molecular dynamics simulations on model systems we study the structural changes and thermodynamic stability of polymers of varying topology (linear and star-shaped) at interface between two liquids. We find that homopolymers are attracted to the interface in both good and poor solvent conditions showing that they are surface active molecules even though not amphiphilic. In most cases...
متن کاملApplication of synthetic polymers as adsorbents for the removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions: Batch experimental studies
In the present study seven synthetic polymers were used as adsorbents for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution. The equilibrium studies were systematically carried out in a batch process, covering various process parameters that include agitation time, adsorbent dosage, and pH of the aqueous solution. The analyzing system was an atomic absorption spectrometer (Perkin-Analyst 100). It was...
متن کاملAdsorption properties of a colloid-polymer mixture confined in a slit pore.
The soft fundamental-measure theory, which was based on the additive colloid-polymer mixture [M. Schmidt, Phys. Rev. E 62, 3799 (2000)] has been employed to investigate the adsorption of a colloid-polymer mixture within a hard slit pore. The calculated results show that the adsorption for the confined colloid-polymer mixture is very different from those of the colloid-colloid and polymer-polyme...
متن کاملBatch experimental studies of Hg(II) ion removal from aqueous solution using seven synthetic polymers
In this work application of seven synthetic polymers as adsorbents for the removal of Hg(II) from aqueous solution was studied. The equilibrium studies are systematically carried out in a batch process, covering various process parameters that include agitation time, adsorbent dosage, and pH of the aqueous solution. Variations of Hg(II) concentration in solution have been studied through measur...
