Interaction forces between talc and hydrophobic particles probed by AFM

چکیده
The interaction between cleaved talc surfaces and hydrophobic probe particles, silanized silica and thiolized gold, has been investigated employing the atomic force microscopy (AFM) colloidal probe technique. These model systems have hydrophobicities similar to some of the talc-pitch c s a t T ©

Interactions between non-polar surfaces in water: Focus on talc, pitch and surface roughness effects by VIVECA WALLQVIST
The aim of this thesis work was to gain understanding of the interactions between talc mineral and surfaces, liquids and chemicals relevant for industrial applications, such as pulp and paper. Talc is used in the pulp and paper industry as a filler pigment, in control of pitch (lipophilic extractives) deposits and as a coating pigment. A deeper understanding of talc interactions will be benefic...
متن کاملAdsorption and conformation of carboxymethyl cellulose at solid-liquid interfaces using spectroscopic, AFM and allied techniques.
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a polysaccharide which is widely used in many industrial sectors including food, textiles, paper, adhesives, paints, pharmaceutics, cosmetics and mineral processing. It is a natural organic polymer that is non-toxic and biodegradable. These properties make it ideal for industrial applications. However, a general lack of understanding of the interaction mechanism...
متن کاملStudy of Particle – Bubble Interaction Using Atomic Force Microscopy – Current Possibilities and Challenges
Study of interaction forces between mineral particles and air bubbles is a key to understanding flotation processes. Measurement of such interaction forces has only recently been made possible with the introduction of the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the colloidal probe technique. Using AFM, interactions between a single particle attached to the AFM cantilever and an air bubble placed on a...
متن کاملInteractions Between Oil Droplets Probed by Force Spectroscopy with the MFP-3D AFM
colloidal particles found in emulsions is important to a range of applications from the food and pharmaceutical industries through to oil recovery and mineral flotation. The interactions which occur between emulsion droplets are of huge importance in determining the functional properties of such systems. These interactions can be modified by the adsorption at the oil-water interface of surface-...
متن کاملThermodynamic investigation of the interaction between Mono-s-chloroTriazinyl MCT Reactive Dyes and cetylpyridinium chloride inaqueous solution
The interactions two synthetic triazinyl reactive dyes Mono-s-chloro Triazinyl reactive dyes DI and DII with the cationic surfactant N-hexadecyl pyridinium chloride CPC were studied using a conductometric method in 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45ºC. The equilibrium constants and other thermodynamic parameters for the ion pair formation were calculated on the basis of a theoretical model using the data ob...
