Determination of Both Wet and Dry Mass of Water-Soluble Polymers Adsorbed on Planar Silica Using a Quartz Crystal Microbalance
It is well-established that polymer adsorption at a model planar interface can be studied using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Normally, this technique reports both the adsorbed mass of polymer ...
