Neutral and charged polymers at interfaces

Abstract: Chain-like macromolecules (polymers) show characteristic adsorption properties due to their flexibility and internal degrees of freedom, when attracted to surfaces and interfaces. In this review we discuss concepts and features that are relevant to the adsorption of neutral and charged polymers at equilibrium, including the type of polymer/surface interaction, the solvent quality, the characteristics of the surface, and the polymer structure. We pay special attention to the case of charged polymers (polyelectr… Show more

“…We represented charge-induced membrane polarization by image charges and calculated the electric potential at → R ¼ xx þ yŷ þ zẑ due to an electric charge Q at →R 0 ¼ x 0x þ y 0ŷ þ z 0ẑ in the aqueous solution. Netz and Netz and Andelman [47,48] derived expressions for the electrical potential PINK ET AL.…”

“…Complexation reactions allowed for PEI adsorption can be as a second layer on the top of the PAA layer or by incorporation into the PAA layer. But even if incorporated into the PAA layer PEI may protrude sufficiently from the particle surface to enable bridging between the neighboring particles [33][34][35].…”

“…Polyelectrolye species can undergo additional attractive interactions by sharing counterions. This is commonly referred to as ion bridging [33,35]. Because both screening efficiency and bridging interactions intensify with increasing counterion valency, divalent counterions are more effective at promoting attractions between polyelectrolyte species than monovalent ones.…”
