The nanostructure of the ethanolammonium nitrate (EtAN)-air surface has been investigated using X-ray reflectometry (XRR), vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) and neutral impact collision ion scattering spectroscopy (NICISS). The XRR data decays more rapidly than expected for a perfectly sharp interface, indicating a diffuse electron (scattering length) density profile. Modelling of the XRR data using three different fitting routines produced consistent interfacial profiles that suggest the formation of interfacial EtAN clusters. Consistent with this, VSFS reveals that the EtAN surface is predominantly covered by -CH(2)- moieties, with the -NH(3)(+) and -OH groups of the cation buried slightly deeper in the interface. The elemental profiles determined using NICISS also show enrichment of carbon relative to nitrogen and oxygen in the outermost surface layer, which is consistent with the surface cation orientation deduced from VSFS, and with the presence of EtAN aggregates at the liquid surface. 相似文献

In this article, large eddy simulation is used to simulate homogeneous shear flows. The spatial discretization is accomplished by the spectral collocation method and a third‐order Runge–Kutta method is used to integrate the time‐dependent terms. For the estimation of the subgrid‐scale stress tensor, the Smagorinsky model, the dynamic model, the scale‐similarity model and the mixed model are used. Their predicting performance for homogeneous shear flow is compared accordingly. The initial Reynolds number varies from 33 to 99 and the initial shear number is 2. Evolution of the turbulent kinetic energy, the growth rate, the anisotropy component and the subgrid‐scale dissipation rate is presented. In addition, the performance of several filters is examined.

Four different cellulose model surfaces, and one silica surface, have been studied by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The normal interactions have been found to consist of a longer range double layer force with a short range steric interaction, the nature of which is extensively discussed. Both the surface charge and range of the steric force depend on the type of cellulose substrate used, as does the magnitude of the adhesion. Studies of friction reveal that surface roughness is the determining factor for the friction coefficient, with which it increases monotonically. The absolute value, however, is determined by the surface chemistry. All studied cellulose surfaces show similar behavior in response to xyloglucan addition. 相似文献

Friction force measurements relevant to de-inking by means of atomic force microscope 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In the pulping step of the de-inking process, the ink detaches from the fibers due to shear and physical chemical interaction. In order to get a better understanding of the forces involved between cellulose and ink, the atomic force microscope and the colloidal probe technique have been used in the presence of a model chemical dispersant (hexa-ethyleneglycol mono n-dodecyl ether, C12E6). A cellulose bead was used as the colloidal probe and three different lower surfaces have been used, an alkyd resin, mica and a cellulose sphere. The normal and lateral forces have been measured at a range of nonionic concentrations. It was found that the lateral sliding friction forces deceased with increasing surfactant concentration for both the alkyd resin and mica while no differences were observed for the cellulose surface. In addition, only a very small change in normal force could be detected for the alkyd surface as the concentration changed. 相似文献

The zeta potentials of monodisperse colloidal silica were measured as a function of pH and as a function of the concentration of tetramethyl-, tetrapropyl-, and tetrapentylammonium bromide in aqueous solution. The variation of the potential with pH was explained by a simple, point ion adsorption model from which a dissociation constant and Gibbs free energy of dissociation were obtained. By contrast, the results obtained with tetraalkyl ammonium ions could not be explained using this simple model. However, incorporation of a hydrophobic adsorption term and finite ion size in a more sophisticated model gave good agreement with experimental measurements. The validity of the model is supported by the reasonable dissociation constants which were obtained on fitting the experimental data. Dissociation constants and the corresponding Gibbs free energies were calculated for both hydrophobic and site binding adsorption for each tetraalkyl ammonium ion. The stability of colloidal silica in solutions of these ions can now be satisfactorily explained in terms of the electrostatic repulsion between particles rather than by a hydrophobic/hydrophilic solvation effect previously proposed. 相似文献

The atomic force microscope, together with the colloid probe technique, has become a very useful instrument to measure interaction forces between two surfaces. Its potential has been exploited in this work to study the interaction between protein (apoferritin) layers adsorbed on silica surfaces and to analyze the effect of the medium conditions (pH, salt concentration, salt type) on such interactions. It has been observed that the interaction at low salt concentrations is dominated by electrical double layer (at large distances) and steric forces (at short distances), the latter being due to compression of the protein layers. The DLVO theory fits these experimental data quite well. However, a non-DLVO repulsive interaction, prior to contact of the protein layers, is observed at high salt concentration above the isoelectric point of the protein. This behavior could be explained if the presence of hydration forces in the system is assumed. The inclusion of a hydration term in the DLVO theory (extended DLVO theory) gives rise to a better agreement between the theoretical fits and the experimental results. These results seem to suggest that the hydration forces play a very important role in the stability of the proteins in the physiological media. 相似文献

Xyloglucans are the principal polysaccharides coating and crosslinking cellulose microfibrills in the majority of land plants.
This review summarizes current knowledge of xyloglucan structures, solution properties, and the mechanism of interaction of
xyloglucans with cellulose. This knowledge base forms the platform for new biomimetic methods of cellulose surface modification
with applications within the fields of textile manufacture, papermaking, and materials science. Recent advances using the
enzyme xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase (XET, EC 2.4.1.207) to introduce varied chemical functionality onto cellulose surfaces are highlighted. 相似文献

Silica is a very interesting system that has been thoroughly studied in the last decades. One of the most outstanding characteristics of silica suspensions is their stability in solutions at high salt concentrations. In addition to that, measurements of direct-interaction forces between silica surfaces, obtained by different authors by means of surface force apparatus or atomic force microscope (AFM), reveal the existence of a strong repulsive interaction at short distances (below 2 nm) that decays exponentially. These results cannot be explained in terms of the classical Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek (DLVO) theory, which only considers two types of forces: the electrical double-layer repulsion and the London-van der Waals attraction. Although there is a controversy about the origin of the short-range repulsive force, the existence of a structured layer of water molecules at the silica surface is the most accepted explanation for it. The overlap of structured water layers of different surfaces leads to repulsive forces, which are known as hydration forces. This assumption is based on the very hydrophilic nature of silica. Different theories have been developed in order to reproduce the exponentially decaying behavior (as a function of the separation distance) of the hydration forces. Different mechanisms for the formation of the structured water layer around the silica surfaces are considered by each theory. By the aid of an AFM and the colloid probe technique, the interaction forces between silica surfaces have been measured directly at different pH values and salt concentrations. The results confirm the presence of the short-range repulsion at any experimental condition (even at high salt concentration). A comparison between the experimental data and theoretical fits obtained from different theories has been performed in order to elucidate the nature of this non-DLVO repulsive force. 相似文献

Hydroxyapatite is a very interesting material given that it is the main component in tooth enamel and because of its uses in bone implant applications. Therefore, not only the characterization of its surface is of high relevance but also designing reliable methods to study the interfacial properties of films adsorbed onto it. In this paper we apply the colloidal probe atomic force microscopy method to investigate the surface properties of commercially available hydroxyapatite surfaces (both microscopic particles and macroscopic discs) in terms of interfacial and frictional forces. In this way, we find that hydroxyapatite surfaces at physiological relevant conditions are slightly negatively charged. The surfaces were then exposed to human whole saliva, and the surface properties were re-evaluated. A thick film was formed that was very resistant to mechanical stress. The frictional measurements demonstrated that the film was indeed highly lubricating, supporting the argument that this system may prove to be a relevant model for evaluating dental and implant systems. 相似文献
