Summary
In order to study the deposition of polymethyl methacrylate latex on fabrics, viz, polyamide (Nylon 6), polyacrylonitrile (Vonnel), polyester (Tetoron), and cotton as a function of pH, the rates of deposition has been determined by the turbidity measurements, and the relation between the rate of deposition and the interaction energy is mainly considered.
The rates of deposition on Vonnel fabric are scarcely influenced by the interaction energy. Those on Tetoron and cotton fabrics decrease with increasing the total interaction energy, but those on cotton fabric increase at the initial stage of deposition at low pH. The rates of deposition on Nylon fabric are interpreted satisfactorily byζ potentials of fabric and latex particles rather than the interaction energy. It is suggested that the deposition may be influenced by the characteristics of fiber, e.g., surface roughness, heterogeneity of electrostatic potential and absorption of water, in addition to the interaction energy.
