The amounts of negatively charged bovine serum albumin and positively charged lysozyme adsorbed on alumina, silica, titania, and zirconia particles (diameters 73 to 271 nm) in aqueous suspensions are measured. The adsorbed proteins change the zeta potentials and the isoelectric points (IEP) of the oxide particles. The added to adsorbed protein ratios at pH 7.5 are compared with the protein treated particle zeta potentials. It is found that the amounts of adsorbed proteins on the alumina, silica, and titania (but not on the zirconia) particle surfaces are highly correlated with the potential. For the slightly less hydrophilic zirconia particles high amounts of protein adsorption are observed even under repulsive electrostatic conditions. One reason could be that the hydrophobic effect plays a more important role for zirconia than electrostatic interaction.
