Long-range van der Waals interactions significantly impact surface freezing in alcohols, influencing wetting phenomena. These interactions are less critical for normal alkanes but essential for accurate interpretation of experimental wetting data.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Surface Science

Background:

  • Surface freezing (SF) is a phenomenon where a liquid forms a crystalline layer at the interface with a solid or another fluid.
  • Van der Waals interactions are crucial in determining interfacial properties and phase transitions.
  • Understanding SF and wetting is vital for various applications, including lubrication and materials design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of long-range van der Waals interactions on surface freezing in linear hydrocarbon chains.
  • To determine the criteria for wetting of the bulk liquid by the crystalline surface phase.
  • To evaluate the significance of these interactions in interpreting experimental wetting phenomena.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical examination of van der Waals interactions.

  • Analysis of surface freezing in normal alkanes and alcohols (dry and hydrated).
  • Comparison of theoretical findings with recent experimental results on wetting.

    • Main Results:

    • Van der Waals interactions have a minor effect on surface freezing of normal alkanes.
    • These interactions are significant for surface freezing of dry and hydrated alcohols.
    • Long-range interactions are critical for the correct interpretation of wetting phenomena in experimental studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Long-range van der Waals forces play a key role in the surface freezing of alcohols.
    • The impact of van der Waals interactions on wetting phenomena should not be overlooked.
    • The study's findings align well with recent experimental observations, validating the theoretical approach.
