Donor-Acceptor Interactions at Interfaces

  • Chapter
Adhesion and Adsorption of Polymers

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 12))

Abstract

Nearly all intermolecular interactions in solution and at interfaces can be reduced to two phenomena: London dispersion forces, and electron donor-acceptor (acid-base) interactions. Hydrogen bonds are included in acid-base interactions, and dipole phenomena are usually negligibly small. Earlier popular notions that all “polar” groups can interact with each other are shown untenable; donor-donor and acceptor-acceptor interactions are negligibly small compared to donor-acceptor interactions. Supporting data include surface and interfacial tensions, contact angles, and adsorption of polymers from organic solvents onto inorganic powders.
