Transient surface tension in miscible liquids.
Evidence of the existence of a transient surface tension between two miscible fluid phases is given. This is done by making use of a density matched free of gravity perturbations, binary liquid of isobutyric acid and water, which presents a miscibility gap and is studied by light scattering. The experiment is performed very near the critical point of the binary liquid, where the diffusion of ph...
متن کاملSurface tension and fingering of miscible interfaces
Experiments on miscible, buoyantly unstable reaction-diffusion fronts and non-reacting displacement fronts in Hele-Shaw cells show a fingering-type instability whose wavelengths (λ) are consistent with an interfacial tension (Σ) caused by the change in chemical composition, even though the solutions are miscible in all proportions. The relation Σ ≈ K/τ , where τ is the interface thickness and K...
متن کاملSurface layering of liquids: Is surface tension the dominant factor?
Recent measurements show that the free surfaces of liquid metals and alloys are always layered, regardless of composition and surface tension, a result supported by three decades of simulations and theory. Recent theoretical work claims, however, that at low enough temperatures the free surfaces of all liquids should become layered, unless preempted by bulk freezing. Using x-ray reflectivity an...
متن کاملTransient interfacial tension and morphology evolution in partially miscible polymer blends.
The influence of molecular weight asymmetry across an interface on the transient behavior of the interfacial tension is investigated for two different polymer combinations, polybutadiene (PBD)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polybutene (PB)/PDMS. This choice ensures a minor diffuse interface using the first combination and a very diffuse interface in the latter case. Measurements of the interfa...
متن کاملPorous micropillar structures for retaining low surface tension liquids.
The ability to manipulate fluid interfaces, e.g., to retain liquid behind or within porous structures, can be beneficial in multiple applications, including microfluidics, biochemical analysis, and the thermal management of electronic systems. While there are a variety of strategies for controlling the disposition of liquid water via capillarity, such as the use of chemically modified porous ad...
