Abstract
The polyelectrolyte poly(ethylenenimine), PEI, is shown to strongly influence the adsorption of the anionic-nonionic surfactant mixture of sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, and monododecyl hexaethylene glycol, C(12)E(6), at the air-solution interface. In the presence of PEI, the partitioning of the mixed surfactants to the interface is highly pH-dependent. The adsorption is more strongly biased to the SDS as the pH increases, as the PEI becomes a weaker polyelectrolyte. At surfactant concentrations >10(-4) M, the strong interaction and adsorption result in multilayer formation at the interface, and this covers a more extensive range of surfactant concentrations at higher pH values. The results are consistent with a strong interaction between SDS and PEI at the surface that is not predominantly electrostatic in origin. It provides an attractive route to selectively manipulate the adsorption and composition of surfactant mixtures at interfaces.

Abstract
The complex dynamic surface elasticity of the solutions of copolymer of sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propansulfonate with N-isopropylacrylamide and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide was measured as a function of the surfactant concentration and the surface age by the oscillating bubble and drop methods. The kinetic dependencies of the surface elasticity proved to be non-monotonic at low concentrations and the main features of the surface viscoelasticity differed from the results for other polyelectrolyte/surfactant solutions films studied so far. The observed peculiarities were connected with the properties of the copolymer chain.

Abstract
Neutron reflectivity and surface tension have been used to investigate the pH sensitivity of the adsorption of poly-L-lysine hydrobromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate mixtures at the air-solution interface. The surface tension variation with surfactant concentration is complex, and between the critical aggregation concentration and critical micellar concentration there is a marked increase in the surface tension. The neutron reflectivity results show that this is associated with a depletion of the surface of polypeptide/surfactant complexes. The variations in the adsorption and surface tension with pH are attributed to changes in the polypeptide conformation at the interface and in solution.

Abstract
The effects of various electrolytes on the adsorption of poly(ethylene oxide) onto silica have been studied. The salts were the chlorides of Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and La3+. The methods used were adsorption isotherms, found using a depletion method with phosphomolibdic acid, photon correlation spectroscopy, and solvent relaxation NMR. All the salts increased the particle-polymer affinity and adsorbed amount according to the adsorption isotherms, and a linear relationship was found between the initial slope of the isotherms and the ionic strength of the solution. Final adsorbed amounts were approximately 0.4-0.5 mg m(-2). The polymer layer thicknesses as found by PCS were of the same order as the radius of gyration of the polymer and increased with both the concentration and the valency of the salt due to increased adsorption. Solvent relaxation NMR showed that NaCl is too weak to have a noticeable effect on the polymer train layer, but the divalent salts clearly did increase both the strength of solvent binding close to the silica surface and the amount of PEO required to reach the maximum train density.

Abstract
Keratin-surfactant interactions at the air/solution interface may be indicative for skin irritation by surfactants. In this study pure keratin was extracted from chicken feathers as described by Schrooyen at al. and the adsorption properties of biologically produced rhamnolipids (RL) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) mixed with keratin molecules were investigated by surface tension measurements. Keratin was added in three specific amounts to RL and SDS aqueous solutions of varying concentrations, respectively, and keratin-RL and keratin-SDS interactions were investigated at pH 6.2 and 5.0. The surface tension measurements showed that surfactant-keratin complexes were formed in the solutions at pH 6.2. At low RL concentrations the added amount of keratin decreased the surface tension as a result of the hydrophobic keratin-RL complexes formed, which have covered the air/solution interface. Beginning from moderate RL concentrations, less surface active keratin-RL complexes were formed due to hydrophilization of the former complexes and they were removed from the interface to the bulk phase as a result of the competitive adsorption mechanism and pure RL molecules covered the interface gradually. At low SDS concentrations surface tension decrease was also observed by the covering of the air/solution interface with keratin-SDS complexes. At moderate SDS concentrations the keratin-SDS complexes exhibited a more surface active feature. Unlike the keratin-RL complexes, they have remained at the interface until the higher SDS concentrations and keratin ratios. However, at the minimum surface tension value of the pure SDS at its CMC value, the surface tension of the keratin-SDS mixture reached the value of pure SDS solution and the air/solution interface has been covered again only with pure SDS monomers. The keratin-surfactant solutions prepared at pH 5 showed lower surface tension values compared to that measured at pH 6.2 and the surface tension behavior of RL and SDS resembled each other. Above a certain surfactant concentration the addition of keratin to surfactant solutions rendered the surface less surface active compared to their pure surfactant solutions at pH 5.0. The consideration of the surface tension behavior of two anionic surfactants has shown that the RL-keratin interactions are milder than SDS-keratin interactions at pH 6.2 and 5.0.

Abstract
We have examined the polymer-surfactant interaction in mixed solutions of the cationic surfactants, i.e., dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, tetradecyltriphenylphosphonium bromide, and tetradecylpyridinium bromide and a semiflexible anionic polyelectrolyte carboxymethylcellulose in water and aqueous salt solutions by various techniques: tensiometry, viscosimetry or ion-selective electrode method, and dynamic light scattering. We have investigated the effect of varying surfactant chain length, head group size, counterion, and ionic strength on the critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of mixed polymer surfactant systems and the collapse of the polymer molecule under different solution conditions. The CAC decreases with increasing alkyl chain length. Above a certain surfactant concentration, mixed aggregates start growing until their macroscopic phase separation. The growth is more rapid with greater surfactant tail length and with increasing head group size. This is attributed in both cases to the increasing hydrophobic interaction between polymer and surfactant. Among surfactants with monovalent halide counterions, iodide induces the strongest binding, reflected by the onset of growth of the mixed aggregates at low surfactant concentration. This is perhaps related to the decreasing hydration of the counterion from chloride to iodide. The surfactant concentration at which the viscosity of the solution starts to decrease sharply is smaller than the CAC, and probably reflects polymer chain shrinkage due to noncooperative binding.

Abstract
The adsorption of poly(styrene sulfonate), PSS, of different molecular weights (70,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000 mol/kg), from aqueous solutions on alpha-alumina has been investigated. PSS of the lower molecular weight adsorbs less than the others whose adsorption isotherms overlap. The adsorption is found to increase with increasing ionic strength of the solutions indicating that both electrostatic and non-electrostatic contributions are involved in the adsorption process. Upon addition of the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, PSS is found to adsorb less the more SDS added. SDS is found to be preferentially adsorbed as shown both from the simultaneous adsorption of the components and also from the sequential adsorption process where SDS in all cases displaces preadsorbed PSS from the solid surface. The displacement of preadsorbed polyelectrolyte by surfactant is a very slow process and the displacement is less pronounced as the molecular mass of the polyelectrolyte increases indicating the fewer number of contact points to the surface. This is further underlined by the effect on the displacement of PSS by SDS upon increasing the ionic strength of the solutions.

Abstract
The interactions between an oxyphenylethylene-oxyethylene nonionic diblock copolymer with the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) have been studied in dilute aqueous solutions by static and dynamic light scattering (SLS and DLS, respectively), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and 13C and self-diffusion nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The studied copolymer, S20E67, where S denotes the hydrophobic styrene oxide unit and E the hydrophilic oxyethylene unit, forms micelles of 15.6 nm at 25 degrees C, whose core is formed by the styrene oxide chains surrounded by a water swollen polyoxyethylene corona. The S20E67/SDS system has been investigated at a copolymer concentration of 2.5 g dm(-3), for which the copolymer is fully micellized, and with varying surfactant concentration up to approximately 0.15 M. When SDS is added to the solution, two different types of complexes are observed at various surfactant concentrations. From SLS and DLS it can be seen that, at low SDS concentrations, a copolymer-rich surfactant mixed micelle or complex is formed after association of SDS molecules to block copolymer micelles. These interactions give rise to a strong decrease in both light scattering intensity and hydrodynamic radius of the mixed micelles, which has been ascribed to an effective reduction of the complex size, and also an effect arising from the increasing electrostatic repulsion of charged surfactant-copolymer micelles. At higher surfactant concentrations, the copolymer-rich surfactant micelles progressively are destroyed to give surfactant-rich-copolymer micelles, which would be formed by a surfactant micelle bound to one or very few copolymer unimers. ITC data seem to confirm the results of light scattering, showing the dehydration and rehydration processes accompanying the formation and subsequent destruction of the copolymer-rich surfactant mixed micelles. The extent of interaction between the copolymer and the surfactant is seen to involve as much as carbon 3 (C3) of the SDS molecule. Self-diffusion coefficients corroborated light scattering data.

Abstract
Neutron reflectivity and surface tension have been used to characterize the adsorption of the polyelectrolyte/ionic surfactant mixture of poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at the air-water interface. The surface tension behavior and adsorption patterns show a strong dependence upon the solution pH. However, the SDS adsorption at the interface is unexpectedly most pronounced when the pH is high (when the polymer is essentially a neutral polymer) and when the polymer architecture is branched rather than linear. For both the branched and the linear PEI polymer/surfactant complex formation results in a significant enhancement of the amount of SDS at the interface, down to surfactant concentrations approximately 10(-6) M. For the branched PEI a transition from a monolayer to a multilayer adsorption is observed, which depends on surfactant concentration and pH. In contrast, for the linear polymer, only monolayer adsorption is observed. This substantial increase in the surface activity of SDS by complexation with PEI results in spontaneous emulsification of hexadecane in water and the efficient wetting of hydrophobic substrates such as Teflon. In regions close to charge neutralization the multilayer adsorption is accentuated, and more extensively ordered structures, giving rise to Bragg peaks in the reflectivity data, are evident.

Abstract
The technique of neutron reflection has been used to investigate the adsorption of alpha-enriched gelatin from aqueous solution onto spun polystyrene substrates. Neutron reflection can provide information about the distribution of material perpendicular to an interface as well as total adsorbed amounts. The adsorbed layers were found to have maximum density at the surface, decaying with distance into solution. The adsorbed amount, layer thickness, and density were all seen to increase with solution concentration. Temperature was found to have little effect on adsorption. Thicker, less dense layers were observed at high pH and thinner, denser layers were observed at low pH, but the total adsorbed amount did not change significantly. The presence of sodium chloride had little effect on the adsorbed layers. The results are discussed in the context of other studies and the known amino acid sequence of alpha-gelatin.

Abstract
The adsorption of the polyelectrolyte-cationic surfactant mixture of sodium poly(acrylic acid), NaPAA, and dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, CTAB, at the air-water interface has been studied using neutron reflectivity and surface tension. The results provide direct evidence of the relative roles of the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the polyelectrolyte and surfactant on the adsorption behaviour. At both pH 4.2 and 9.2 the addition of NaPAA results in a strong reduction in the surface tension at low CTAB concentrations, consistent with the adsorption of polymer-surfactant complexes at the interface. This is confirmed and quantified by neutron reflectivity measurements. At pH 4.2 a mixed polymer-surfactant monolayer (∼20 Å thick) is adsorbed at the interface over the entire surfactant concentration range measured. Whereas at pH 9.2, where the polyelectrolyte is more highly charged, the adsorption pattern is similar at low surfactant concentrations to that measured at low pH. However, at higher surfactant concentrations there is a transition from monolayer adsorption to the formation of a 'layered' structure at the interface. This is indicative of a stronger polymer-surfactant interaction at the surface, and has some similarity with that observed in other polyelectrolyte-ionic surfactant mixtures. At high pH, the results imply that at the lower surfactant concentrations the adsorption is dominated by the hydrophobic interaction, whereas at higher surfactant concentrations it is dominated by the electrostatic interaction. At low pH the dominant interaction would appear to be hydrophobic in nature.

Abstract
Binding behaviors of ionic surfactants (decyl- and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C(10)TAB, C(12)TAB), sodium decane sulfonate (SDeSo), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) to poly(4-vinyl phenol) (P4VPh) gel were investigated to elucidate a specific swelling behavior that has been found for P4VPh gel in aqueous solutions of tetraalkylammonium salts. With increasing cationic surfactant concentration, P4VPh gel significantly deswelled and then remarkably reswelled at a concentration somewhat below the respective cmc values. On the other hand, in the case of the anionic surfactants, the gel only showed a marked swelling at a concentration just below the respective cmc values. A similar charge-specific behavior of the surfactants was also found for the P4VPh dispersion system studied with a UV-vis spectroscopy; namely, in the cationic surfactant-P4VPh systems, the turbidity of the dispersion first increased with increasing the surfactant concentration and then decreased. This result suggests that aggregation of P4VPh particles first occurred and finally the particles were solubilized. A red shift followed by a blue shift observed for a pi-pi absorption of phenol at around 278 nm was also consistent with the aggregation-solubilization behavior. In the anionic surfactant-P4VPh system, however, only solubilization of the polymer particle was observed, and the UV peak only showed a blue shift. All these results in the gel and the dispersion systems strongly suggest that the cation-pi interaction is involved in the binding of the cationic surfactants to P4VPh.

Abstract
Micellization and adsorption at the air-solution interface of binary mixtures of the triblock copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, EO23PO52EO23 (EPE), and the surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), dodecyl trimethylammonium chloride (DTAC), and tetraethylene glycol monooctyl ether (C8EO4) have been studied by neutron reflectivity and surface tension. The synergistic attractive interaction between the polymer and the ionic surfactants has been analyzed in the framework of the pseudo phase approximation and gives rise to a stronger interaction for EPE/SDS than EPE/DTAC. In contrast, the interaction of the nonionic surfactant C8EO4 with the copolymer EPE shows an unexpected and rather different behavior, resulting in a strongly repulsive interaction, characterized by a positive interaction parameter. The neutron reflectivity measurements of the surface excess, where the predicted and measured surface excesses are directly compared, provide evidence that challenges the applicability of the pseudo phase approximation for describing the surface mixing behavior. Structural information on the mixed adsorbed layer provides evidence which in part explains the observed discrepancies between the measured surface excesses and the behavior predicted from the pseudo phase approximation. Furthermore the structural evidence can be use to rationalize the differences in behavior observed between the ionic and nonionic surfactants.

Abstract
The interactions between a hydrophilic anionic polysaccharide, dextran sulfate, and oppositely charged surfactants, n-alkylammonium chlorides (the number of carbon atoms per chain being 10, 12, and 14), were investigated by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, microelectrophoretic mobility, conductivity, surface tension, and light-scattering measurements at 303 K. The increase of surfactant alkyl chain length shifts both the critical aggregation (cac) and the critical micelle concentrations (cmc) toward lower surfactant concentration. Light-scattering and microelectrophoretic data revealed the coexistence of differently structured complexes beyond the cac. The presence of giant vesicles indicates that at least one type of species is ordered in bilayers. X-ray analysis of dry n-alkylammonium dextran sulfates exhibited mesomorphous ordering and interplanar spacings typical for lamellar structures; i.e., n-alkylammonium molecules form more or less disordered bilayers interconnected with dextran sulfate chains, thus forming multilamellar stacks. The average basic lamellar thickness increased linearly with the increase of surfactant chain length, whereas the average number of lamellar bilayers in the stack of lamellae decreases.

Abstract
The formation of triblock copolymer/surfactant complexes upon mixing a nonionic Pluronic polymer (PEO-PPO-PEO) with a cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), has been studied in dilute aqueous solutions using small-angle X-ray scattering, static and dynamic light scattering, and self-diffusion NMR. The studied copolymer (denoted P123, EO(20)PO(68)EO(20)) forms micelles with a radius of 10 nm and a molecular weight of 7.5 x 10(5), composed of a hydrophobic PPO-rich core of radius 4 nm and a water swollen PEO corona. The P123/CTAC system has been investigated between 1 and 5 wt % P123 and with varying surfactant concentration up to approximately 170 mM CTAC (or a molar ratio n(CTAC)/n(P123) = 19.3). When CTAC is mixed with micellar P123 solutions, two different types of complexes are observed at various CTAC concentrations. At low molar ratios (>/=0.5) a "P123 micelle-CTAC" complex is obtained as the CTAC monomers associate noncooperatively with the P123 micelle, forming a spherical complex. Here, an increased interaction between the complexes with increasing CTAC concentration is observed. The interaction has been investigated by determining the structure factor obtained by using the generalized indirect Fourier transformation (GIFT) method. The interaction between the P123 micelle-CTAC complexes was modeled using the Percus-Yevick closure. For the low molar ratios a small decrease in the apparent molecular weight of the complex was obtained, whereas the major effect was the increase in electrostatic repulsion between the complexes. Between molar ratios 1.9 and 9 two coexisting complexes were found, one P123 micelle-CTAC complex and one "CTAC-P123" complex. The latter one consists of one or a few P123 unimers and a few CTAC monomers. As the CTAC concentration increases above a molar ratio of 9, the P123 micelles are broken up and only the CTAC-P123 complex that is slightly smaller than a CTAC micelle exists. The interaction between the P123/CTAC complexes was modeled with the hypernetted-chain closure using a Yukawa type potential in the GIFT analysis, due to the stronger electrostatic repulsion.

Abstract
DNA interacts with insoluble monolayers made of cationic amphiphiles as well as with monolayers of zwitterionic lipids in the presence of divalent ions. Binding to dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB) or distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) monolayers in the presence of calcium is accompanied by monolayer expansion. For the positively charged DODAB monolayer, this causes a decrease of surface potential, while an increase is observed for the DSPC monolayers. Binding to dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine preserves most of the liquid expanded-liquid condensed coexistence region. The liquid condensed domains adopt an elongated morphology in the presence of DNA, especially in the presence of calcium. The interaction of DNA with phospholipid monolayers is ion specific: the presence of calcium leads to a stronger interaction than magnesium and barium. These results were confirmed by bulk complexation studies.

Abstract
Interaction between the nonionic surfactant Tergitol 15-S-7 and hydrophobically modified 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose (HMHEC) was studied rheologically in a semidilute regime of HMHEC. The low-shear viscosity of HMHEC was increased with addition of surfactant from 25 to 250 ppm, in which the critical micelle concentration of surfactant was near 39 ppm, and then decreased to a value smaller than that of pure HMHEC with further addition of surfactant to 1000 ppm. An interesting shear-induced phenomenon was observed. The steady-state shear measurements show that there exist crossovers between viscosity-shear rate curves of HMHEC solutions with and without surfactant added, whereas it was not observed in the HEC-surfactant systems. Moreover, added Tergitol 15-S-7 reversed the temperature effect on the viscosity of the HMHEC solution. That is, increasing temperature to or near the cloud point raises the viscosity of the HMHEC-surfactant aggregates, in contrast to the viscosity decrease in the pure HMHEC solutions. A possible mechanism based on the necklace model and the clouding phenomenon is conjecturally introduced to explain such phenomena.

Abstract
We have examined the polymer/surfactant interaction in mixed aqueous solutions of cationic surfactants and anionic polyelectrolytes combining various techniques: tensiometry, potentiometry with surfactant-selective electrodes, and viscosimetry. We have investigated the role of varying polymer charge density, polymer concentration, surfactant chain length, polymer backbone rigidity, and molecular weight on the critical aggregation concentration (Cac) of mixed polymer/surfactant systems. The Cac of these systems, estimated from tensiometry and potentiometry, is found to be in close agreement. Different Cac variations with polymer charge density and surfactant chain length were observed with polymers having persistence lengths either smaller or larger than surfactant micelle size, which might reflect a different type of molecular organization in the polymer/surfactant complexes. The surfactant concentration at which the viscosity starts to decrease sharply is different from the Cac and probably reflects the polymer chain shrinkage due to surfactant binding.

Abstract
The adsorption of mixtures of aqueous solutions of cationic hydroxyethylcellulose polymer JR400 and anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, using atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been studied. Samples with various compositions from different regions of the ternary phase diagram presented in our previous work were imaged by atomic force microscopy on freshly cleaved mica, and hydrophobically modified mica and silica in soft-contact mode. A series of "washing" (subsequent injection of compositions with gradually decreasing polymer/surfactant ratio) and "scratching" (mechanical agitation of the surface material with an AFM tip) experiments were performed. It was revealed that the morphology of the adsorbed layer altered in a manner following the changes in morphology in the bulk solution. These changes were evidenced in cluster formation in the layer. The results suggest that the influence of the surface was limited to the formation of the adsorbed layer where the local concentrations of polymer and surfactant were higher than those in the bulk. All further modifications were driven by changes in the mixture composition in bulk. Force measurements upon retraction reveal the formation of network structures within the surface aggregates that will greatly slow structural reequilibration.

Abstract
This work focuses onto the interactions between poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and fatty acids, in order to set their potential role of contaminants for PEO-based retention systems. Surface tension measurements were used to investigate PEO-fatty acid systems and they made it possible to clearly point out the interactions between the polymer and the sodium octadecylcarboxylates with different degrees of unsaturation. The observed interaction seems to be dependent on the fatty acids' solubility, the increase of which leads to less pronounced phenomena, which are, in contrast, emphasized by the increase in PEO chain length.

Abstract
Complexation of antitumor drug, doxorubicin (DOX), with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in buffer solutions was examined. The DOX-to-PAA binding was governed by electrostatic and stacking interactions resulting in a complex of characteristic composition with a PAA/DOX = 1.6 molar ratio. Sizes of the complex particles were found to lie in 600-900-nm range. However, the particles were able to interact with small neutral egg yolk lecithin liposomes (80-100 nm in diameter), a ternary DOX/PAA/liposome complex being formed. The observations and conclusions we made may be useful for interpreting biological effects of polymer-based bioactive constructs.

Abstract
Proton-transfer reactions in aqueous solutions of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) were studied using a fluorescent probe and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Protolytic photodissociation of 1-hydroxypyrene (HP) in water was found to be very slow. The PMA polyanion appeared to be very inefficient as a proton acceptor in the excited-state reaction with HP. However, a drastic increase in the deprotonation efficiency was observed in PMA solutions with the same pH values close to neutral when dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) was added. The protonated form of HP, as well as its anion, was shown to be solubilized in polyion-covered micelles. Time-resolved fluorescence data suggested at least two localization sites with different reactivities toward PMA. FTIR spectroscopy was used to quantify the degree of ionization of PMA in PMA-DTAC mixtures. The IR data indicated that protolytic dissociation of PMA could be well described by the Henderson-Hasselbach equation with an apparent pK of 6.6. In contrast, the fluorescent data revealed cooperative protonation of the PMA groups interacting with HP localized within surfactant assemblies. This selective protonation at a pH close to neutral may be associated with a conformational transition in the polymer-surfactant complex.

Abstract
The interactions of cationic gemini surfactants, 1,2-bis(alkyldimethylammonio)ethane dibromide (m-2-m: m is hydrocarbon chain length, m = 10 and 12), and an anionic polymer, sodium poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS), have been characterized by several techniques such as tensiometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering. The surface tension of gemini surfactant/PSS mixed systems decreases with surfactant concentration, reaching break points, which are taken as critical aggregation concentrations (cac). The surface tension at the cac of mixtures is higher than that of single surfactants, and it is found that at concentrations above the cac, the surfactant molecules are associated with the polymer in the bulk. The 12-2-12/PSS mixed system shows higher surface activity than both 10-2-10/PSS and the monomeric surfactant of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide/PSS systems. Fluorescence measurements of these mixed systems suggest the formation of a complex with a highly hydrophobic environment in the bulk of the solution. Additionally, dynamic light scattering measurements show that the hydrodynamic diameter of the 12-2-12/PSS mixed system is smaller than that of PSS only at low concentration, indicating interactions between surfactant and polymer. These result from the electrostatic attraction between ammonium and sulfate headgroups as well as the hydrophobic interaction between their hydrocarbon chains.

Abstract
The adsorption properties (adsorbed amount, kinetics, and reversibility) of poly(vinylimidazole) (PVI) and sodium dodecyl sulfate from PVI/SDS mixed solutions on negatively charged silica substrates were studied at pH 9 using reflectometry and compared to that measured on colloidal silica by the solution depletion method. In this paper, we will try to gain insight into the effect of PVI/SDS complex composition on the adsorption characteristics of the complex and particularly on the kinetics of the complex adsorption and its consequence on the adsorption reversibility. The properties of the complex in solution were characterized by means of potentiometric titration at a constant pH, binding isotherm, and surface tension measurements. On the basis of the experimental results the prevailing mechanism of the SDS/PVI interaction and the properties of the PVI/SDS complex were evaluated. Both the PVI/SDS complex uptake and the kinetics of the adsorption decreased with the amount of SDS bound to PVI. At low PVI/SDS binding ([SDS](0)<critical aggregation concentration CAC), the complex adsorption is transport limited while at high binding ([SDS](0)>CAC) the incoming complex experiences a blocking barrier of an electrostatic nature. This barrier has been confirmed by reversibility measurement, and the respective roles of the complex structure and charge were assessed.
