Free-energy formalism for particle adsorption.
The equilibrium properties of particle adsorption is investigated theoretically. The model relies on a free-energy formulation which allows us to generalize the Maxwell-Boltzmann description to solutions for which the bulk volume fraction of potentially adsorbed particles is very high. As an application we consider the equilibrium physical adsorption of neutral and charged particles from soluti...

well as polymer and surface. See, for example, the definition of E preceding Eq. (40) of FH-2. In the plateau region, on the other hand, adsorption was predicted to be molecular weight independent. Considering the approximations involved, it would probably be more realistic to simply assert that molecular weight dependence is small. The predicted increase in the adsorption plateau with increasi...
متن کاملHydrodynamic self-consistent field theory for inhomogeneous polymer melts.
We introduce a mesoscale technique for simulating the structure and rheology of block-copolymer melts and blends in hydrodynamic flows. The technique couples dynamic self-consistent field theory with continuum hydrodynamics and flow penalization to simulate polymeric fluid flows in channels of arbitrary geometry. We demonstrate the method by studying phase separation of an ABC triblock copolyme...
متن کاملSelf-consistent field theory of protein adsorption in a non-Gaussian polyelectrolyte brush.
To describe adsorption of globular protein molecules in a polyelectrolyte brush we use the strong-stretching approximation of the Edwards self-consistent field equation, combined with corrections for a non-Gaussian brush. To describe chemical potentials in this mixture of (globular) species of widely varying sizes (ions, brush polyelectrolyte segments, globular protein molecules), we use the Bo...
متن کاملDetermination of Adsorption Isotherm for L-Lysine Imprinted Polymer
The optimization of adsorption-based operations requires an accurate model to represent the separation process. In the present study, single-component adsorption data of L-lysine on its imprinted polymer were fitted to Freundlich, Langmuir-type and Jovanovic-type models. L-Lysine imprinted polymer (LLIP) was prepared by free radical solution polymerization. The best estimate of the parameters o...
