Boehmite suspension behaviour upon adsorption of methacrylate–phosphonate copolymers

Two novel methacrylate–phosphonate copolymers were successfully synthesised with varying proportions of methacrylate and phosphonate groups. The dispersant ability of the copolymers was investigated using boehmite colloidal suspensions as a function of pH and polymer concentration. The adsorption and electrochemical behaviour of these methacrylate–phosphonate copolymers onto the boehmite surface was studied as a function of polymer concentration...
