Mesoscopic theory reveals disjoining pressure significantly impacts adhesion forces from water bridges between particles. This differs from macroscopic capillarity predictions, especially for water on certain substrates.

Area of Science:

  • Surface Science
  • Colloid and Interface Science
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Macroscopic capillarity theory commonly estimates adhesion forces from fluid bridges between solid particles.
  • A mesoscopic approach refines this by including disjoining pressure, arising from long-range fluid-substrate interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of disjoining pressure on adhesion forces in fluid bridges.
  • To compare mesoscopic predictions with macroscopic capillarity theory, particularly for water bridges.

Main Methods:

  • Application of macroscopic capillarity theory.
  • Utilizing a refined mesoscopic description incorporating disjoining pressure.
  • Analysis of adhesion forces for fluid bridges, with a focus on water.

Main Results:

  • Disjoining pressure is often negligible for nonpolar fluids.
  • Water bridges can exhibit substantial disjoining pressures on various substrates.
  • Mesoscopic theory predicts pull-off forces that diverge from macroscopic capillarity predictions when disjoining pressure is significant.

Conclusions:

  • Mesoscopic theory provides a more accurate description of adhesion forces involving water bridges where disjoining pressure is considerable.
  • The influence of disjoining pressure on adhesion is substrate-dependent and particularly relevant for water.
