Drift Spectral Characterization Of Various Carboxylate Containing Organic Coatings On Glasses

Organic compounds such as oleic acid, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) were coated on slide and silica glass powders. The resulting interaction mechanism was determined on the basis of the leaching properties of the glass, and the DRIFT spectra resulting from the interaction of each ion on the glass with coated organics. Soluble components such as sodium and calcium play important roles in the interaction properties of the organics with glass surfaces. The effect of solvent is also discussed.
