Wetting films on particles near a phase transition can bridge, altering their interaction potential. This study models this phenomenon and its impact on colloidal suspensions.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Colloid Science
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Spherical particles immersed in fluid solvents can exhibit complex interactions.
  • Fluid-fluid phase transitions influence wetting phenomena on surfaces.
  • Understanding interparticle forces is crucial for colloidal suspension behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the effective interaction potential between two spherical particles in a fluid solvent near a phase transition.
  • To investigate the morphological transition of wetting films into a bridgelike configuration.
  • To analyze the impact of this transition on the effective interaction potential.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a density-functional-based interface displacement model.
  • Calculating the effective interaction potential between spherical particles.
