Abstract

Dilatational viscoelasticity of adsorbed and spread films of the poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer at the air-water interface is studied by the capillary waves and oscillating barrier techniques. At the surface pressure below 10 mN/m, dynamic surface properties of these films coincide with those of poly(ethylene oxide). At higher surface pressures, the results obtained indicate the desorption of poly(propylene oxide) segments from the monolayer and their interaction with poly(ethylene oxide) segments in an aqueous phase. At a surface pressure close to 19 mN/m, the behavior of adsorbed and spread poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) films becomes different. The real part of dynamic surface elasticity of spread films tends toward its maximum value (20 mN/m) and, upon further compression, films begin to dissolve. At the same time, the surface elasticity of adsorbed films decreases nearly twofold upon the achievement of the maximum value that testifies the formation of looser structure of the surface layer.
