Abstract

The adsorption of poly(viny1 alcohol) by natural aggregates and undisturbed core samples of Urrbrae loam has been investigated. The factors studied included the size, shape, and structure of the polymer, the physico-chemical properties of the soil, and external physical and chemical factors. The rate of adsorption has been interpreted in terms of polymer diffusion in a porous medium and the significance of these studies in relation to the use of synthetic soil conditioners has been discussed.
