The interaction of N-tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB) surfactants with poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (PSS), PSS/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), and PSS/poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) complexes has been studied by means of Raman and IR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry of the polyelectrolyte complexes and of the complexes with TTAB has been established. TTAB molecules bind to single PSS molecules in a coiled liquid-like alkyl configuration up to a molar fraction of 67% in dry state. At higher concentrations, TTAB shows a transition to a crystalline phase. In the case of PSS being complexed with PAH, surfactant binds to PSS with a stoichiometry of 2 molecules of TTAB per sulfonic acid group. Spectroscopic data show that TTAB interacting with PSS/PDADMAC complexes is capable of disassembling this polyelectrolyte complex, but when TTAB interacts with the PSS/PAH complexes this polyelectrolyte pair remains stable. Spectroscopic measurements performed at different humidity showed that dry PSS/PAH complexes display the nu(SO(2)) and nu(s)(SO(3)(-)) bands at positions, which are indicative of the presence of hydrogen bonds between PSS and PAH. Red shifts of these bands when mixing the PSS/PAH complexes with TTAB point to structural rearrangements of the complex when interacting with the surfactant.

The quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation technique (QCM-D) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been employed to study the interaction of N-tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TdTmAB) with polyelectrolyte multilayers containing poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) as the polyanion and either poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) or poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) as the polycations. The multilayers were exposed to aqueous solutions of TdTmAB. This resulted in a selective removal of PDADMAC PSS layers while layers with PAH as polycation remained stable. It is suggested that PDADMAC/PSS multilayers can be employed as strippable protecting layers.

Polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures of rigid monosulfonated poly(phenylene sulfone) (sPSO2-220) and tetradecyl trimethylammonium bromide (C14TAB) were investigated by surface tension, surface elasticity and foam film stability measurements. The results were compared to former measurements of polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures containing more flexible polyelectrolytes (PAMPS or PSS and C14TAB). For all polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures an increased surface adsorption in comparison to the pure surfactant was detected. Moreover, sPSO2-220/C14TAB mixtures showed a much higher surface activity and foam film stability than mixtures with more flexible polyelectrolytes. The results presented give insight into the surface adsorption and foam film formation of rigid polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures. Therefore, this study helps to understand the role of polyelectrolyte backbone rigidity in the formation and stabilization of foam films made from polyelectrolyte/surfactant mixtures.
