Surfactant titration technique: An improved approach for determining latex adsorption isotherm endpoints

A unique approach has been developed for determining surfactant titration end points via computer analysis utilizing nonlinear regression. This approach fits the data to an equation and then mathematically solves this equation to yield a reproducible endpoint. In this study, this computer program was utilized to interpret titration data for model acrylate, methacrylate, and styrene homopolymer and copolymer systems.
