Dynamics of interactions involving deformable drops: hydrodynamic dimpling under attractive and repulsive electrical double layer interactions.

چکیده
A model developed previously to analyze force measurements between two deformable droplets in the atomic force microscope [Langmuir 2005, 21, 2912-2922] is used to model the drainage of an aqueous film between a mica plate and a deformable mercury drop for both repulsive and attractive electrical double-layer interactions between the mica and the mercury. The predictions of the model are compared with previously published data [Faraday Discuss. 2003, 123, 193-206] on the evolution of the aqueous film whose thickness has been measured with subnanometer precision. Excellent agreement is found between theoretical results and experimental data. This supports the assumptions made in the model which include no-slip boundary conditions at both interfaces. Furthermore, the successful fit attests to the utility of the model as a tool to explore details of the drainage mechanisms of nanometer-thick films in which fluid flow, surface deformations, and colloidal forces are all involved. One interesting result is that the model can predict the time at which the aqueous film collapses when attractive mica-mercury forces are present without the need to invoke capillary waves or other local instabilities of the mercury/electrolyte interface.

متن کاملSoft matter: from shapes to forces on the nanoscale
Soft matter deforms in response to imposed external forces. Here we demonstrate how dynamic surface forces are linked to far-field deformations. This offers a new paradigm for determining forces between soft particles in colloidal systems. The particular example we use to illustrate this concept is that of a fluid drop interacting with a solid wall through hydrodynamic drainage flow coupled wit...

Dynamic forces between a deformable tetradecane oil drop (radius of curvature z 25 mm) anchored on the cantilever of the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and similar oil drops (radii of curvature 80 to 500 mm) on the substrate in aqueous electrolyte with added sodium dodecyl sulfate surfactant have been studied. Measurements were made over a range of scan rates that span the range of Brownian velo...

Using two different geometries, rectangular obstacles and asymmetric loops, we investigate the breakup dynamics of deformable objects, such as drops and bubbles, confined in microfluidic devices. We thoroughly study two distinct flow configurations that depend on whether object-to-object hydrodynamic interactions are allowed. When such interactions are introduced, we find that the volumes of th...

To begin to elucidate the principles of intermolecular dynamics in the crowded environment of cells, employing brownian dynamics (BD) simulations, we examined possible mechanism(s) responsible for the great reduction in diffusion constants of macromolecules in vivo from that at infinite dilution. In an Escherichia coli cytoplasm model comprised of 15 different macromolecule types at physiologic...
