Determination of Both Wet and Dry Mass of Water-Soluble Polymers Adsorbed on Planar Silica Using a Quartz Crystal Microbalance
Summary
A QCM normally weighs adsorbed polymer together with the water bound to it, so it reports more than optical or depletion methods. Switching the flow from liquid to dry nitrogen strips the solvent and gives the dry adsorbed amount straight after the wet one; the method is checked with poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) on silica against literature values.
