Abstract
To study vicinal water structure around polystyrene latex particles di fferential thermal analysis (DTA) has been utilized. Measurements of p rogrammable water thermodesorption from polystyrene surfaces under dyn amic and quasi-isothermal conditions were made. Therefore, the adsorpt ion potential distribution function was calculated and the hydrophobic ity of polystyrene surfaces determined. DTA is presented as a useful m ethod to study the interfacial properties of polymer colloids.
