Fluid flow is observed when a volume of passivated Ag nanoparticles suspended in chloroform is mixed with a water/ethanol (v/v) mixture containing acidified 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid. Following mechanical agitation, Ag nanoparticles embedded in a film are driven from the organic-aqueous interface. A reddish-brown colored film, verified by transmission electron microscopy to contain uniformly dispersed Ag nanoparticles, is observed to spontaneously climb the interior surface of an ordinary, laboratory glass vial. This phenomenon is recorded by a digital video recorder, and a measurement of the distance traveled by the film front versus time is extracted. Surface (interfacial) tension gradients due to surfactant concentration, temperature, and electrostatic potential across immiscible fluids are known to drive interface motion; this well-known phenomenon is termed Marangoni flow or the Marangoni effect. Experimental results are presented that show the observed mass transfer is dependent on an acid surfactant concentration and on the volume fraction of water in the aqueous phase, consistent with fluid flow induced by interfacial tension gradients. In addition, an effective desorption rate constant for the Marangoni flow is measured in the range of approximately 0.01 to approximately 1 s(-1) from a fit to the relative film front distance traveled versus time data. The fit is based on a time-dependent expression for the surface (interface) excess for desorption kinetics. Such flow suggests that purposeful creation of interfacial tension gradients may aid in the transfer of 2- and 3-dimensional assemblies, made with nanostructures at the liquid-liquid interface, to solid surfaces. 相似文献

Coalescence times for air bubbles rising through hexadecane to an air-hexadecane interface are measured and compared with an analysis based upon our previous extension of continuum mechanics to the nanoscale [J.C. Slattery, E.-S. Oh, K. Fu, Chem. Eng. Sci. 59 (2004) 4621-4635] with the assumption of retarded dispersion forces. The relation between the retarded and non-retarded Hamaker constants proposed by G?rner and Pich [J. Aerosol Sci. 20 (7) (1989) 735-747] is tested for the first time. 相似文献

The motion of a particle immersed in a fluid near a fluid-fluid interface is studied on the basis of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. The motion is influenced by surface tension, dilatational surface elasticity modulus, and surface shear modulus, as well as by gravity. The backflow at the location of the particle after a sudden impulse has some universal features that are the same as for a rigid wall with stick boundary conditions. At short times the flow depends only on the mass densities of the two fluids. The nature of the short-time flow is calculated from potential flow theory. At a somewhat later time the particle shows a pronounced rebound. The maximum value of the rebound and the time at which the maximum occurs depend on the elastic properties of the interface. 相似文献

We report a new and simple method for the formation of thin films at the interface between aqueous silica Ludox dispersions and lipid solutions in decane. The lipids used are stearic acid, stearyl amine, and stearyl alcohol alongside silica Ludox nanoparticle dispersions of varying pH. At basic pH thin films consisting of a mixture of stearic acid and silica nanoparticles precipitate at the interface. At acidic and neutral pH we were able to produce thin films consisting of stearyl amine and silica particles. The film growth was studied in situ with interfacial shear rheology. In addition to that, surface pressure isotherm and dynamic light scattering experiments were performed. The films all exhibit strong dynamic rheological moduli, rendering them an interesting material for applications such as capsule formation, surface coating, or as functional membranes. 相似文献

A proof of the stability of the unduloid configuration within a cylindrical pore is given. The proof involves calculus of variation techniques and in particular the theory of the problem of Bolza is used. It is shown that the unduloid configuration is stable to small disturbances provided dV/dκ < 0, where V represents the volume of the configuration and κ is the curvature of the configuration. If this condition is not satisfied the unduloid configuration is unstable. 相似文献

Linear stability analysis for a film on a solid surface with a viscoelastic air-liquid interface is presented. The interfacial dilatational and shear viscoelastic properties were described by Maxwell models. Dilatational and shear interfacial elasticity and viscosity were shown to improve film stability. When the interfacial rheological properties are extremely large or small, the maximum perturbation growth coefficient is shown to reduce to those for immobile and mobile interfaces respectively. Calculated values of maximum growth coefficient for thin film stabilized by 0.5% beta-lactoglobulin approached those of mobile films for thick (>2000 nm) and those for immobile films for thin (<100 nm) films respectively with the values lying between the two limits for intermediate film thicknesses. 相似文献

The authors use the analytical equation of state obtained by the discrete perturbation theory [A. L. Benavides and A. Gil-Villegas, Mol. Phys. 97, 1225 (1999)] to study the phase diagram of fluids with discrete spherical potentials formed by a repulsive square-shoulder plus an attractive square-well interaction (SS+SW). This interaction is characterized by the usual energy and size parameters plus three dimensionless parameters: two of them measuring the widths of the SS and the SW and the third the relative height of the SS. The matter of interest is that, for certain values of the interaction parameters, the SS+SW systems exhibit more than one first-order fluid-fluid transition. The evidence that several real substances (such as water, phosphorus, carbon, and silica, among others) exhibit an extra liquid-liquid transition has drawn interest into the study of interactions responsible for this behavior. The simple SS+SW fluid is one of the systems that, in spite of being spherically symmetric, shows multiple fluid-fluid transitions. In this work the authors investigate systematically the effect on the phase diagram of varying the interaction parameters. The use of an analytical free-energy equation gives a clear thermodynamic picture of the emergence of different types of critical points, throwing new light on the phase behavior of these fluids and thus clarifying previous results obtained by other techniques. The interplay of attractive and repulsive forces with several scale lengths produces very rich phase diagrams, including cases with three critical points. The region of the interaction-parameter space where multiple critical points appear is mapped for various families of interactions. 相似文献

The correlation between the segment interaction parameter and the interface width of incompatible polymer blends can be used to obtain information on the segment interaction of incompatible polymers via an accurate measurement of the narrow interface width by neutron reflectometry. Several model systems are discussed including polystyrene/poly(cyclohexyl acrylate-stat-n-butyl methacrylate), polystyrene/ poly (styrene- stat-p-bromo styrene) and poly styrene/poly(methyl methacrylate). 相似文献

The effects of carbon chain length and temperature were investigated on adsorption kinetics and surface tension of a group of slightly volatile, short carbon chain molecules: 1-octanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-butanol. Experiments were performed in a closed chamber where simultaneous adsorption from both sides of the vapor/liquid interface was considered. The dynamic (time dependent) and steady-state surface tensions were found to decrease with temperature ranging from 10 °C to 35 °C. It was shown that, at the final steady-state, the effect of adsorption from the vapor phase was much more important than that from the liquid phase especially for short carbon chain molecules (e.g., 1-butanol). The modified Langmuir equation of state and modified kinetic transfer equation, which account for adsorption from both sides of a vapor/liquid interface, were used to model the experimental data of the steady-state and dynamic surface tension, respectively. Modeling results showed that the equilibrium constants and adsorption rate constants were increased with temperature and carbon chain length. The maximum surface concentration showed a decrease with temperature and an increase with carbon chain length. Some variations in the fitting parameters were observed in the dynamic modeling. These variations may be due to the experimental errors or the limitations of the proposed model. 相似文献

Adsorption onto the walls of micropores was explored by computational simulations involving cyclic voltammetry of ion transfer across an interface between aqueous and organic phases located at the micropore. Micro-interfaces between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (micro-ITIES) have been of particular research interest in recent years and show promise for biosensor and biomedical applications. The simulation model combines diffusion to and within the micropore, Butler-Volmer kinetics for ion transfer at the liquid-liquid interface, and Langmuir-style adsorption on the pore wall. Effects due to pore radius, adsorption and desorption rates, surface adsorption site density, and scan rates were examined. It was found that the magnitude of the reverse peak current decreased due to adsorption of the transferring ion on the pore wall; this decrease was more marked as the scan rate was increased. There was also a shift in the half-wave potential to lower values following adsorption, consistent with a wall adsorption process which provides a further driving force to transfer ions across the ITIES. Of particular interest was the disappearance of the reverse peak from the cyclic voltammogram at higher scan rates, compared to the increase in the reverse peak size in the absence of wall adsorption. This occurred for scan rates of 50 mV s(-1) and above and may be useful in biosensor applications using micropore-based ITIES. 相似文献

A "brick-and-mortar" assembly approach for creating porous carbon and carbon/metal oxide fibers on the micron scale with well-defined pore structure and interface is presented. A series of monodisperse silica@polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and silica@metal oxide@PAN core/shell particles were synthesized by emulsion polymerization and assembled into organic-inorganic composite fibers through a simple ice-templating strategy with the assistance of polyvinyl alcohol. Porous carbon and carbon/metal oxide fibers with well-controlled pores and interfaces were created by oxidative stabilization and carbonization of composite fibers followed by removal of silica cores with hydrofluoric acid or concentrated alkali. The pore structure and the carbon/metal oxide interfaces of the fibers impart to the fibers' lightweight and potential applications in catalysis, electrochemical energy, and gas or liquid separations and storage. 相似文献

Using density functional theory we calculate the density profiles of a binary solvent adsorbed around a pair of big solute particles. All species interact via repulsive Gaussian potentials. The solvent exhibits fluid-fluid phase separation, and for thermodynamic states near to coexistence the big particles can be surrounded by a thick adsorbed "wetting" film of the coexisting solvent phase. On reducing the separation between the two big particles we find there can be a "bridging" transition as the wetting films join to form a fluid bridge. The effective (solvent mediated) potential between the two big particles becomes long ranged and strongly attractive in the bridged configuration. Within our mean-field treatment the bridging transition results in a discontinuity in the solvent mediated force. We demonstrate that accounting for the phenomenon of bridging requires the presence of a nonzero bridge function in the correlations between the solute particles when our model fluid is described within a full mixture theory based upon the Ornstein-Zernike equations. 相似文献

Heat-induced interfacial aggregation of a whey protein isolate (WPI) with a high content of beta-lactoglobulin (>92%), previously adsorbed at the oil-water interface, was studied by means of interfacial dynamic characteristics performed in an automatic drop tensiometer. Protein concentration in aqueous bulk phase ranging between 1x10(-1) and 1x10(-5) % wt/wt was studied as a variable. The experiments were carried out at temperatures ranging from 20-80 degrees C with different thermal regimes. During the heating period, competition exists between the effect of temperature on the film fluidity and the increase in mechanical properties associated with the interfacial gelation process. Interfacial crystallisation of food polar lipids (monopalmitin, monoolein, and monolaurin) previously adsorbed at the oil-water interface, was studied by interfacial dynamic characteristics (interfacial tension and surface dilational properties). The temperature, ranging between 40 and 2 degrees C, and the lipid concentration in aqueous oil phase, ranging between 1x10(-2) and 1x10(-4) % wt/wt, were studied as variables. Significant changes in interfacial dynamic characteristics associated with interfacial lipid crystallisation were observed as a function of lipid concentration in the bulk phase. Interfacial crystallisation of food polar lipids (monopalmitin, monoolein, and monolaurin) at the air-water interface, was studied by pi-A isotherms performed in a Langmuir trough coupled with Brewster angle microscopy (BAM). A condensation in monoglyceride monolayers towards lower molecular area was observed as the temperature decreased. This effect was attributed to lipid crystallisation at lower temperatures. BAM images corroborated the effect of temperature on the monolayer structure, as a function of the monoglyceride type. 相似文献

In this work we analytically evaluate, for the first time, the exact canonical partition function for two interacting spherical particles into a spherical pore. The interaction with the spherical substrate and between particles is described by an attractive square-well and a square-shoulder potential. In addition, we obtain exact expressions for both the one particle and an averaged two particle density distribution. We develop a thermodynamic approach to few-body systems by introducing a method based on thermodynamic measures [I. Urrutia, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 104503 (2010)] for nonhard interaction potentials. This analysis enables us to obtain expressions for the pressure, the surface tension, and the equivalent magnitudes for the total and Gaussian curvatures. As a by-product, we solve systems composed of two particles outside a fixed spherical obstacle. We study the low density limit for a many-body system confined to a spherical cavity and a many-body system surrounding a spherical obstacle. From this analysis we derive the exact first order dependence of the surface tension and Tolman length. Our findings show that the Tolman length goes to zero in the case of a purely hard wall spherical substrate, but contains a zero order term in density for square-well and square-shoulder wall-fluid potentials. This suggests that any nonhard wall-fluid potential should produce a non-null zero order term in the Tolman length. 相似文献

We calculate the mean end-to-end distance R of a self-avoiding polymer encapsulated in an infinitely long cylinder with radius D. A self-consistent perturbation theory is used to calculate R as a function of D for impenetrable hard walls and soft walls. In both cases, R obeys the predicted scaling behavior in the limit of large and small D. The crossover from the three-dimensional behavior (D --> infinity) to the fully stretched one-dimensional case (D --> 0) is nonmonotonic. The minimum value of R is found at D approximately 0.46R(F), where R(F) is the Flory radius of R at D --> infinity. The results for soft walls map onto the hard wall case with a larger cylinder radius. 相似文献

Results of previous work1 on a theoretical explanation of the “spurt effect” in polymer melt flow are extended. A modified Doi—Edwards liquid is shown to support axisymmetric traveling waves on an interface between high and low shear-rate phases in capillary flow. The stability of these perturbations is found to be governed by normal stress effects and may be related to certain types of melt fracture. Observed effects of varying the capillary length are explained qualitatively. 相似文献

Dynamics of capillary held liquids plays important roles in a wide range of systems including adhesion, printing of paints and inks, the behavior of wet granular materials, and the mass transfer through porous media. Recent study suggested the presence of two distinct modes for the disappearance of capillary-held liquids in a slit-like pore of adjustable slit width that depended on the slit-opening rates. In contrast to the first mode that is well-documented in terms of the Young-Laplace equation, a novel and unexpected mode was observed when the liquid bridge was held in the vicinity of the thermodynamic phase boundary (equilibrium Kelvin length). Here we extended the study to three new compounds that have a wide range of vapor pressures. An evaporating liquid bridge developed large refractive index gradients that extended over a few micrometers from the edge of the meniscus once the slit width was increased beyond the equilibrium Kelvin length. This interfacial region with depleted refractive index retreated inward as the meniscus shrank with time, and the refractive index of the entire bridge subsequently fell from that of the liquid once the interfacial regions from the opposite sides of the shrinking bridge met at the center. The refractive index recovered to that of the liquid when the slit width was closed to below the Kelvin length and the vapor was allowed to recondense. The time scale of the evaporation and condensation depended on the size of the surface gap, and, when the surfaces were placed at a separation very close to the Kelvin length, it was possible to detect a stage in which the system was in an apparent kinetic equilibrium between two physical states--with and without the liquid connecting the two surfaces. 相似文献

We theoretically study kinetics of a polymer threading through a pore embedded in a flat membrane. We numerically solve three coupled kinetic equations for the number n(1) of polymer segments in one side of the membrane and expansion factors of the polymer chain in each side of the membrane. We find the time evolution n(1) proportional to t(1/(1+nu)) at late stages and the translocation time tau(t) is scaled as tau(t) proportional to 1+nu) for large number n of the polymer segments, where nu is the effective size exponent of the radius of gyration of the polymer. When the polymer is translocated into a region with a good solvent condition (nu=3/5), we obtain n(1) proportional to t(5/8) and tau(t) proportional to n(8/5). 相似文献
