TI - Isothermal Titration Calorimetry: A Powerful Technique To Quantify Interactions in Polymer Hybrid Systems N2 - Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC)was introduced as a highly sensitive tool to analyze interactions in polymer and material science by their thermodynamic patterns. The thermodynamic parameters ÄH, ÄS, ÄG, KB, and the stoichiometric ratio of the interactions in a complex organic-inorganic hybrid system were determined in a single experiment. In particular, the adsorption behavior of surface-active amphiphilic copolymers, bearing different types of anchor groups (nonionic, zwitterionic, and acidic), with SiO2 nanoparticles in a multicomponent solvent system was investigated. The knowledge of the thermodynamic parameters of the interaction provided, beside its strength, a detailed understanding of its mechanism. Particularly, for the production of the nanocomposites, this knowledge might lead to a more ational and optimized design of these materials UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UKI7A08V_2_qbtGsem6qceqmdLtjZ-T7/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
