Adsorption of cationic polyelectrolyte, a homopolymer of maleimide propyl trimethylammonium chloride (MPTMAC), on silica nanoparticles from aqueous solution was studied. The adsorbed amount of MPTMAC and the adsorption layer thickness from solutions of different pH, polyelectrolyte concentration, salt type, and salt concentration were measured. The adsorbed amount exhibited a maximum as a function of the electrolyte concentration. The onset of the decline in the adsorbed amount depended on the type of counterions. The thickness of the adsorption layer increased gradually with increased of electrolyte concentration and leveled off at high electrolyte concentration. The enhanced adsorption in the presence of Na2SO4 can be explained by the bivalent SO4(2-) causing a better shielding effect. With increasing pH the adsorbed amount of MPTMAC increased, whereas the thickness of an adsorbed layer of MPTMAC decreased. At low polyelectrolyte concentrations unstable silica suspensions were observed from a stability test. At high polyelectrolyte concentrations the higher particle coverage caused electrosteric stabilization of the dispersion. However, further increase in MPTMAC concentration after saturated adsorption would flocculate the dispersed system. At low pH, MPTMAC tending to create a loops or tails conformation stabilized the suspension.
