Non - equilibrium Surface Forces and Hydrodynamics of Thin Films *
نویسنده
چکیده
The notion of »non-equilibrium surface forces« is advanced for the application in a number of cases of colloid stability and transport phenomena. The idealized concept of full equilibrium in the double layer, as used in the DLVO theory is shown to be too simple to describe the stability of a colloid particle not in equilibrium with the surround ing medium. Cases are described where surface forces are stipulated by adsorption layer effects, controlled by diffusion, such as flotation, crystal growth, hydrodynamic transport, and in describing the stability of living cells in suspension.

Effect of changing pH and the Ionic Strength on the Surface Forces in Surfactant-Free Thin Aqueous Films
This chapter describes the effect of pH-changes on the surface forces in thin, surfactant-free aqueous films containing a low background concentration of sodium chloride. Despite their exceedingly low surface elasticities, the surfactant-free aqueous films that have an equilibrium thickness about 100 nm are metastable for pH-values between 5 and 10. The extended DLVO theory was used to calculat...
متن کاملA bike-wheel microcell for measurement of thin-film forces
A thin-film balance employing either a Sheludko capillary or a Mysels-inspired porous-medium film holder provides a direct measurement of disjoining-pressure isotherms in free, liquid thin films. However, each film holder suffers its own distinct disadvantages spanning non-uniform and slow liquid exchange, a limited range of measurable disjoining pressures, an inability for reuse, and a require...
متن کاملHydrophilicity of Silica Nano-Porous Thin Films: Calcination Temperature Effects
In this research work, silica nano-porous thin films were deposited on glass substrates by layer by layer method. The thin films were calcinated at various calcination temperatures (200, 300, 400, and 500 °C). The morphology, surface characteristics, surface roughness and hydrophilic properties of the thin films were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total ...
متن کاملCorrelation between crystal structure and optical properties of copper- doped ZnO thin films
ZnO and Cu doped[1] (CZO) thin films were prepared by radio frequency sputtering. The structural and optical properties of thin films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical spectrophotometer, and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. ZnO thin films showed crystalline and micro-stress defects in the crystal lattice. Annealing of CZO thin films increa...
