Phase coexistence in colloidal suspensions: an analytic Poisson-Boltzmann treatment.
We solve the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation analytically, subject to justifiable approximations, for a suspension containing a large number of identical spherical macroions under conditions of constant surface charge and zero added salt, in order to investigate the phase behavior of charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. Our results for the electrostatic part of the Helmholtz free ener...
متن کاملReentrant phase transition in charged colloidal suspensions.
We report the observation of a novel phase transition in dilute aqueous suspensions of polystyrene particles as a function of ionic impurity concentration C. The suspension phase separates into dense and rare phases only for a restricted range of C which depends on particle concentration n. The dense phase has liquidlike or crystalline order depending on n and C. Free energies of the homogeneou...
متن کاملPhase Transition Near a Liquid-Gas Coexistence Equilibrium
Effects of small perturbations from a liquid-gas coexistence equilibrium (the Maxwell states) is studied for an isothermal (or isentropic) gas-liquid phase transition in a sealed onedimensional finite length tube, by using a van per Waals model with a viscous-capillary regularization. A matched asymptotic expansion is used to derive formally a linear system satisfied by leading order perturbati...
متن کاملDestabilization of Colloidal Suspensions 3.1 COLLOIDAL SUSPENSIONS
Many impurities in waters and wastewaters are present as colloidal dispersions, i.e. they occur in particulate form within the approximate size range 1 to 10 -3 μm (refer Fig 1.3). Examples of this type of suspension include clays, substances of biological origin such as natural colour, proteins, carbohydrates and their natural or industrial derivatives. Invariably suspensions of this type poss...
متن کاملWetting in a colloidal liquid-gas system.
We present first observations of wetting phenomena in depletion interaction driven, phase separated colloidal dispersions (coated silica-cyclohexane-polydimethylsiloxane). The contact angle of the colloidal liquid-gas interface at a solid substrate (coated glass) was determined for a series of compositions. Upon approach to the critical point, a transition occurs from partial to complete wetting.
