Hydrophobic interaction and patch charge attraction in α-Al2O3 dispersions under the influence of adsorbed low molecular-weight polyacrylic acid sodium salt and poly(methacrylic acid) sodium salt: yield stress and AFM force study

© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Maximum yield stress data showed that low molecular-weight (Mw) (~7 kDa) poly(methacrylic acid) sodium salt (PMA-Na) additive at low surface coverage displayed significant patch charge attraction in contrast to polyacrylic acid sodium salt (PAA-Na) additive...
