The adsorption of polyester onto organically modified silicas (ormosils) and commercial fumed silica has been compared using ToF‐SIMS. The thermodynamics of each system was examined by constructing adsorption isotherm plots which indicated that the adsorption of polyester onto one of the modified silicas used may be a two‐stage process. Adsorption onto the fumed silica is in accord with the Langmuir model. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
