The interaction energies between gelatin-coated surfaces at various electrolyte and pH conditions are reported. The surfaces are of glass and are negatively charged under all conditions used here. Gelatin is a polyampholyte, with an isoelectric pH (IEP) of approximately 4.9. At low pH the gelatin molecules have a net positive charge, and thus the polyampholyte tends to adsorb with a relatively flat conformation. As the pH is increased the strong attractive interaction between the surface and the polyampholyte decreases as more negative charges and then fewer positive charges appear on the polyampholyte, and so the gelatin extends away from the surface. On changing electrolyte concentrations after adsorption no effect was seen at the IEP, but the layer was observed to swell at more alkaline pHs. This is consistent with the net minimum charge situation on the polymer under these conditions. Changing the adsorption conditions was seen to have an effect, and this is attributed to the different affinities of the gelatin chain to the surface depending on the solution chemistry. Results obtained when the gelatin was initially adsorbed on one surface or two were similar, suggesting that the gelatin transfers rapidly from one surface to another. The importance of adsorption conditions as well as current conditions is discussed. Copyright 1999 Academic Press. 相似文献

For making stable dispersions of graphitic carbon black (Monarch 700), the effectiveness of three dispersants/polymers (hypermer LP1, hypermer B246, and OLOA 11000) in xylene is investigated. Hypermer LP1 (polyhydroxystearic acid) is a homopolymer and hypermer B246 (PEG 30-dipolyhydroxystearate) is a polyhydroxystearic acid/polyethylene oxide/polyhydroxystearic acid ABA block copolymer, while OLOA 11000 (polyisobutylene succinimide) has a polar head group (polyamine) attached to a hydrocarbon chain (polyisobutylene). Well-dispersed graphitic carbon black dispersions were prepared using dispersants at optimum concentrations. Percolation threshold and rheological threshold were determined by analyzing the variations in electrical conductivity and elastic modulus with concentration of carbon black. Above threshold concentration, scaling law was applied to experimental data of rheology (dynamic measurements) and electrical conductivity measurements to evaluate quality of the system. Effectiveness of polymers was investigated on the basis of value of critical exponent (t and t′, respectively) in scaling power law. Hypermer LP1 was proved to be a poor dispersant for Monarch 700 dispersions while other two polymers were found to be effective stabilizers. 相似文献

Previous experimental work has shown that the spreading of a drop of aqueous anionic surfactant solution on a liquid film supported by a negatively charged solid substrate may give rise to a fingering instability (Afsar-Siddiqui, A. B.; Luckham P, F.; Matar, O. K. Langmuir 2003, 19, 703-708). However, upon deposition of a cationic surfactant on a similarly charged support, the surfactant will adsorb onto the solid-liquid interface rendering it hydrophobic. Water is then expelled from the hydrophobic regions, causing film rupture and dewetting. In this paper, experimental results are presented showing how the surfactant concentration and film thickness affect the dewetting behavior of aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions. At low surfactant concentrations and large film thicknesses, the film ruptures at a point from which dewetting proceeds. At higher concentrations and smaller film thicknesses, the ruptured region is annular in shape and fluid moves away from this region. At still higher concentrations and smaller film thicknesses, the deposited surfactant forms a cap at the point of deposition that neither spreads nor retracts. This variation in dewetting mode is explained by considering the relative Marangoni and bulk diffusion time scales as well as the mode of assembly of the surfactant adsorbed on the solid surface. 相似文献

Poly (ether ether ketone)(PEEK) is a high-performance semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer.Exposure of the polymeric surface to solvents can have a strong effect like softening/swelling of polymeric network or dissolution.In this study,nano-indentation analysis was performed to study the effect of acetone on the surface mechanical properties of PEEK using different exposure time.The experiments were performed with a constant loading rate (10 nm/s) to a maximum indentation displacement (1000 nm).A 30-second hold segment was included at the maximum load to account for any creep effects followed by an unloading segment to 80% unloading.The indentation hardness and the elastic modulus were computed as a continuous function of the penetration displacement in the continuous stiffness mode (CSM) indentation.The experimental data showed that the peak load decreased from ~5.2 mN to ~1.7 mN as exposure time in solvent environment increased from 0 to 18 days.The elastic modulus and the hardness of PEEK samples also displayed a decreasing trend as a function of exposure time in the solvent environment.Two empirical models were used to fit the experimental data of hardness as a function of exposure time which showed a good agreement with the experimental values. 相似文献

The interactions between the protein, cholera toxin B subunit attached to an atomic force microscope, AFM, cantilever, CTB and its receptor the ganglioside, GM1 have been measured in a dilute electrolyte solution, pH 5.5. Although there is variation in the force separation data obtained, particularly on approach of the AFM tip to the GM1 surface where usually, but not always an attraction is noted, an adhesion is always noted on separation of the surfaces. The strength of this adhesion varies from experiment to experiment, but appears to be quantised at a value of around 90 pN. Addition of cholera toxin to the aqueous electrolyte solution completely removes the attractive interaction and adhesion. This gives us confidence that in the earlier experiments, a specific interaction between the CTB and GM1 was measured. 相似文献

Rheological properties of Buchan crude oil—water interfaces have been determined using a biconical bob rheometer. The effects of temperature and the presence of surface-active demulsifiers on film characteristics have been evaluated. Free oscillation and creep modes have been used, depending on the relative viscoelastic behaviour of the films. Film ageing is particularly significant, whilst temperature and the nature and concentration of any demulsification chemicals also contribute significantly. Further detailed understanding of interfacial film rheology is considered to be desirable for a complete appreciation of the stability of water-in-crude oil emulsions. 相似文献

The importance of the interfacial rheology in determining the stability of water-in-Buchan crude oil emulsions has been demonstrated in part 1 of this series of papers (R.A. Mohammed, A.I. Bailey, P.F. Luckham and S.E. Taylor, Colloids Surfaces A: Physicochem. Eng. Aspects, 80(1993)223). In part 2, interfacial tensions of crude oil, and solutions of asphaltenes and resins in a model oil have been investigated. Surface pressure vs. area (Π—A) curves of monolayers of asphaltenes, resins and their mixtures have been established. In its dependence on the ratio of resins to asphaltenes, the pseudostatic dilatational modulus has high values for low resin-to-asphaltene ratios and low values for high resin-to-asphaltene ratios. This is expected to throw light on the cause of the enhanced stability of water-in-crude oil emulsions. 相似文献

The flow and viscoelastic properties of a lubricating grease formed from a thickener composed of lithium hydroxystearate and a high-boiling-point mineral oil were investigated as a function of thickener concentration. The flow properties of grease were measured using continuous shear rheometry, while the viscoelastic properties were measured using oscillatory shear measurements. The flow properties show that grease is a shear-thinning fluid with a yield stress that increases with thickener concentration. At concentrations of lithium hydroxystearate greater than 5% by volume, the storage modulus, G', was found to be greater than the loss modulus, G", with both moduli increasing with increasing thickener concentration, below this critical concentration G" was greater than G'. Slip at the wall of the measuring platens was a major problem encountered during the rheological measurement of grease, this is hardly surprising, and greases are designed to slip in their lubricating functions. Therefore the measuring platens were roughened by sandblasting and significantly higher yield values were recorded with the roughened geometries. Creep experiments were also performed. In the creep test, yield stresses of greases could be obtained. Zero shear viscosity was also calculated from the creep experiment and as a result viscosities over nine orders of magnitude were obtained. The power law index of the scaling law of the elastic modulus and yield stress with increasing volume fraction was found to be 4.7+/-0.2 suggesting that the flocculation of the particles that compose the grease is likely to be of the chemically limited aggregation variety. 相似文献

It is the forces between the microscopic constituents of materials which to a large extent determine the macroscopic properties. For example, it is the differences in bonding between the carbon atoms which determines the different physical properties of carbon and graphite. The same is true in colloidal systems. In colloidal systems, there are three common types of long-range interactions between particles: van der Waals forces, electrical double layer forces and steric forces. In this paper, examples as to how these forces can be modified and even manipulated will be given. To convincingly demonstrate these effects, it is necessary to measure these interaction forces. We have achieved this by using the principles of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The principle is simple, a small particle, 5-30 microm, is attached onto a small weak cantilever spring. The interaction between this particle and another particle or a surface is measured by monitoring the deflection of the spring as the two particles are moved together. In this paper, I shall give examples of direct measurements of van der Waals, electrical double layer and steric forces and show how they can be modified and how these modifications affect the properties of bulk suspensions. Similar principles are involved in the interactions of biological materials. However, nature is much cleverer than man such that many of the macromolecules on cell surfaces are able to specifically recognise only one other molecule. An example of this recognition-type interaction, namely, cholera toxin interacting with the glycolipid Gm1, will also be presented. Finally, the adhesion of cells to surfaces of different surface chemistries has been determined; this is of significance in many fields ranging from fouling of filtration membranes on the one hand to the biocompatibility of surgical implants on the other. 相似文献
