Area of Science:

  • Colloid science
  • Surface chemistry
  • Materials science

Background:

  • Understanding irreversible adsorption of colloid particles is crucial for surface science and materials engineering.
  • Previous models often simplify particle interactions and surface heterogeneity, limiting predictive power.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To model irreversible adsorption of larger colloid particles onto surfaces precovered with smaller particles of the same surface charge.
  • To investigate the influence of particle size ratios on adsorption kinetics and jamming coverage.
  • To explore the potential of adsorption studies for characterizing surface heterogeneity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the random sequential adsorption (RSA) approach for modeling irreversible adsorption.
  • Performed numerical simulations to determine initial flux and long-time adsorption kinetics of larger particles.

  • Derived an analytical formula from scaled particle theory to describe numerical results.

    • Main Results:

    • Jamming coverage (θ(l)(∞)) was determined as a function of particle size ratio (λ) and smaller particle coverage (θ(s)).
    • Jamming coverage showed high sensitivity to particle size ratios exceeding 4.
    • Monolayer structures at jamming state deviated significantly from those in monodisperse systems.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides a quantitative model for irreversible colloid adsorption on heterogeneous surfaces.
    • Theoretical predictions suggest that adsorption kinetics and monolayer structure can characterize surface heterogeneity.
    • Findings are applicable to understanding and controlling surface phenomena in various scientific and industrial applications.
