Time-resolved study of nanoparticle adsorption at liquid surfaces: structure, thermodynamics and kinetics
Analysing the time evolution of the nanoparticle surface excess allowed us to determine both thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. Our results demonstrate that both the non-equilibrium surface excess and the adsorption kinetics significantly changed with the ionic strength, while the surfactant concentration played a minor role. This paves the way to the design of stimuli responsive nanoparticle-decorated surfaces with tailored nanostructures and adsorption rates.
