Abstract

ATR-FTIR provides the ability to study interfacial interactions in situ. ATR-FTIR was used to obtain infrared spectroscopic information about the interactions between the titanium dioxide surface, the polyelectrolyte sodium styrene sulfonate (PSS), and the surfactant cetylpyridinium bromide momhydrate (CBMD). The IR data was then modeled with a Frumkin isotherm and analyzed using a multidimensional least squares technique.
