Abstract

The ordered structures are observed directly by the metallurgical microscope for the heavy (specific gravity=1.50) and monodisperse polystyrene type spheres in sedimentation equilibrium and in the presence of neutral polymers, polyvinylalcohol (PVA), polyethyleneglycol (PEG), polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), and polyacrylamide (PAAm). The intersphere distances in the ordered lattices decrease by the addition of neutral polymer in the order, PVA < PEG < PVP < HPC < PAAm. These effects of neutral polymers are reasonably well-explained by the intersphere repulsion from the electrical double layer interaction, which is influenced by the polymer adsorption on the latex surface by the hydrophobic and/or dipole-dipole interactions.
