Effect of molecular conformation on the surface properties of polyelectrolyte solutions : xanthan gum model studies

Creator:

Young, San Land

Abstract:

A commercially important polyelectrolyte, xanthan, was chosen for a systematic analysis of the relationship between molecular conformation and surface properties. In the first study the effects of ionic strength, xanthan concentration and temperature on the xanthan molecular conformation were investigated by potentiometric titration. The effects of the same factors and...
