Abstract
This contribution is a short resume of the lectures given in the ASI course. It was felt by the author that the interested reader would be better served with such a resume and a list of central references giving access to the field, than with a lengthy tutorial text.
It has been known for a long time that polymers may adsorb on the particles of a colloidal dispersion and, if they do so, affect the stability of the dispersion. We will discuss here physisorption (i.e. attachment by weak forces, no chemical bonds) of polymers. Accounts of chemisorption and its effects can be found in a monograph by Napper [1].
The forces generated by the adsorbed polymers can be either attractive, namely when the chains form bridges between two neighbouring particles, or repulsive when the polymer forms a protective sheath around the particles which precludes any bridge formation [2].
