Adsorption scaling theory for investigation of distance between clay-layers with adsorbed polymer and adsorption-isotherm versus polymer-concentration: Comparison to experiment

The purpose of this paper is to introduce an adsorption scaling theory for explaining the experimental results dealt with the clay-polymer hybrids. The main problem to apprehend is the evolution of two interesting physical quantities which are the equilibrium adsorbed quantity (adsorption-isotherm), Qeq, and the clay-layer-spacing, d001 upon the initial bulk-polymer-density, Cd. In the present investigation, we are concerned with the case where...
