The adsorption mechanism of silane coupling agent on the colloidal silica surface is studied with spin-labeled silane coupling agent using ESR method. The density of the adsorbed silane molecules was determined to be approximately 1.5-2 molecules per 100 A of the silica surface in 95% ethanol soluti

✦ Synopsis
Poly(ethyleneimine) and poly(4-vinylpyridine) chains adsorbed on Nucleosil silica have been randomly labeled with nitroxide free radicals. The EPR signal is very sensitive to the molecular Brownian motion of the segments and shows generally at least two different environments: trains adsorbed on the surface with a restricted mobility, and loops and tails protruding into the solution with a fast motion. The rotational correlation times and the relative fraction of each population are given as functions of the coverage achieved and of the specific surface area of the silica for the samples in contact with methanol and sometimes water. The overall picture is consistent with a diffuse layer for the PEI and a more compact one with some heterogeneities for the P 4 VP.

An improvement in the adhesion between polymers and hard tooth tissues would be an important advance in preventive and restorative dentistry.' To achieve this improvement, there is a great need to study the molecular level interactions that take place between polymers and the tooth surface. In order
