A complete adsorption study of Triton X-100 onto latexes with different functionality is presented. Three surfactant-free polystyrene latices with different chemical surface groups (sulfate, carboxyl, and amidine) were prepared. The pH of the liquid phase controls the surface charge, and hence this

✦ Synopsis
An experimental desorption study of Triton X-100 from latices with different functionality is presented. Two different strategies to follow the desorption experiment have been used: first, a discontinuous method based on the wash step (centrifugation-removalredispersion); and second, a continuous method based on the replacement of the disperse media. The desorption results show that in all cases a residual amount of Triton X-100 remains adsorbed, indicating irreversibility of the surfactant adsorption. Finally, the effect of desorption on the colloidal stability of one type of latexsurfactant complex has been analyzed.
