Adsorption of nonionic surfactants on silica sol particles: The effects of sol type and concentration, surfactant type, concentration, and temperature

Small angle neutron scattering has been used to investigate the nature of the adsorption of the alkyl polyoxyethylene ether (CnEOm) nonionic surfactants on Ludox silica sols. Variations in the adsorbed layer thickness and volume fraction of surfactant in the adsorbed layer with sol type, concentrati...
