Abstract

The displacement of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) from silica in two different solvents (water and dioxane) by a number of low molecular weight organic displacers was studied. The experimental data compare favorably with a theory developed in a previous paper. Using this theory we determined the segmental adsorption energy for PVP to be 4 kT, both in dioxane.and in water. This result is in good agreement with inferences from calorimetric and spectroscopic-bound fraction studies.

    The schematic of preparation the core–shell PVP-coated silica composite NPs is shown in Fig. 4b. It has been reported that PVP can adsorb on silica surface strongly through hydrogen bonding, between the carbonyl groups of PVP molecules and the silanol groups on silica surface, with a segmental adsorption energy of around 4 kT [95]. Thus, the adsorption of PVP on silica can be regarded as irreversible because of the small possibility that all the adsorbed polymer segments desorb from the surface simultaneously [96].

    The ability of solvents to tune the structure is related to basic thermodynamic interactions between the solvent and polymer which control solubility and thus the self-assembly properties of the block copolymers. The influence of added organics on PEO-PPO-PEO and PEO-containing polymer adsorption has not been studied to the same extent [115,116,151,205–207]. Early studies using NMR relaxation showed that PEO homopolymers can be displaced from aqueous silica dispersions by the addition of polar organic solvents which have a high affinity for the surface and therefore compete for adsorption sites [112].

    The presence of an additive may influence the particle–polymer interface, the polymer organization in the bulk as well as on the particle surface, and consequently the properties of the formulation. For example, additives having stronger attractive interactions with nanoparticles than an adsorbed polymer may cause polymer desorption [4–6]. Such additives are known as displacers [4,7–11].
