Generalization of the Gibbs-Kelvin-Kohler and Ostwald-Freundlich equations for a liquid film on a soluble nanoparticle.

A derivation of chemical equilibrium equations for a spherical thin film of solution around a soluble solid nanoparticle is presented. The equations obtained generalize the Gibbs-Kelvin-Kohler and Ostwald-Freundlich equations for a soluble particle immersed in the bulk phase. The generalized equations describe the dependence of the chemical potentials of a condensate and dissolved nanoparticle matter in the thin solution film, the condensate saturated pressure, and the solubility of the nanoparticle matter on the film thickness, and the nanoparticle size with account of the disjoining pressure of the liquid film.
