The impact of electrolyte on the adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyethyleneimine complexes at the air-solution interface.

The addition of electrolyte (0.1 M NaCl) is shown to have a significant impact upon the surfactant concentration and solution pH dependence of the adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) complexes at the air-solution interface. Substantial adsorption is observed over a wide surfactant concentration range (from 10(-6) to 10(-)2 M), and over much of that range of concentrations the adsorption is characterized by the formation of surface multilayers. The surface multilayer formation is most pronounced at high pH and for PEI with a lower molecular weight of 2K, compared to the higher molecular weight of 25K. These results, obtained from a combination of neutron reflectivity and surface tension, highlight the substantial enhancement in surfactant adsorption achieved by the addition of a combination of the polyelectrolyte, PEI, and a simple electrolyte. Furthermore the effect of electrolyte on the pH dependence of the adsorption further highlights the importance of the hydrophobic interaction in surface surfactant/polyelectrolyte complex formation.
