Report Paper 4: Determination of Bonds between Metal Ions and Additives by Means of Surface Pressure and Infrared Spectra

Abstract

A surface balance of the Langmuir type was used to determine the effect of different metal ion specia in an aqueous solution on the surface pressure of monomolecular layers of additives. To gain more specific information about the bond properties, the monolayers were collected and the infrared spectra recorded. It is suggested that the results can be used as data when the bonds between the additives and the atom groups on a metal surface are being considered.
