Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

Theories of Dissolution: The Danckwerts' Model and Interfacial Barrier Model

Various dissolution theories provide insight into the factors that influence the dissolution rate. Danckwerts' Model suggests that turbulence, rather than a stagnant layer, characterizes the dissolution medium at the solid-liquid interface. In this model, the agitated solvent contains macroscopic packets that move to the interface via eddy currents, facilitating the absorption and delivery of the drug to the bulk solution. The regular replenishment of solvent packets maintains the...

Area of Science:

Background:

Dissipative structures are ordered systems formed far from thermodynamic equilibrium, contrasting with equilibrium-based molecular self-assembly.
A gap exists in understanding the formation principles between dissipative structures and molecular self-assemblies.
Investigating molecular self-assembly under non-equilibrium conditions is crucial for novel material synthesis.

Purpose of the Study:

To bridge the gap between dissipative structures and molecular self-assembly principles.
To investigate the molecular self-assembly of light-reducible ion pairs under far-from-equilibrium conditions.
To synthesize gold nanowires using a novel dissipative self-assembly approach.

Main Methods:

Utilized light-reducible organic-inorganic ion pairs, specifically tetraalkylammonium hexafluorophosphate and aqueous Au(OH)4(-).
Applied photoirradiation to solid-aqueous interfaces under far-from-equilibrium conditions.
Compared nanowire formation under immediate photoirradiation versus delayed irradiation after immersion.

Main Results:

Gold nanowires formed spontaneously at the solid-aqueous interface upon immediate photoirradiation.
Nanowire formation was inhibited when photoirradiation was delayed, indicating a time-sensitive dissipative process.
Developed nanowires were exclusively formed under far-from-equilibrium conditions, not achievable near thermodynamic equilibrium.

Conclusions:

Dissipative nanostructures emerge from the fusion of dynamic dissipative self-assembly and static molecular self-assembly at the nanoscale.
The study demonstrates a novel method for creating gold nanowires through dissipative self-assembly.
This work bridges the conceptual gap between dissipative structures and molecular self-assembly, paving the way for new nanoscale material design.
