Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how zwitterionic amphiphilic copolymers (ZACs) affect the formation of calcium sulfate (CaSO) at the zwitterion-water interface, which is important for reducing mineral scaling in industrial processes like desalination and heat exchange.
- Researchers used techniques like grazing incidence small angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS) and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) to monitor the growth of CaSO crystals on two types of ZAC coatings: PT:SBMA and PT:MPC.
- Results indicated that the PT:MPC coating facilitated nucleation but slowed down crystal growth compared to PT:SBMA, with calcium ion adsorption key to the processes and a phase transition
