Colloids and Suspensions

3.6K
Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles visible to the naked eye or seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. The suspended particles in a suspension settle out after some time of mixing. The separation of particles from a suspension is...

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...

Bond Energies and Bond Lengths02:49

Bond Energies and Bond Lengths

31.6K
Stable molecules exist because covalent bonds hold the atoms together. The strength of a covalent bond is measured by the energy required to break it, that is, the energy necessary to separate the bonded atoms. Separating any pair of bonded atoms requires energy — the stronger a bond, the greater the energy required to break it.

Peptide Bonds02:43

Peptide Bonds

83.7K
A peptide bond covalently attaches amino acids through a dehydration reaction. One amino acid's carboxyl group and another amino acid's amino group combine, releasing a water molecule. The resulting bond is the peptide bond. The products that such linkages form are peptides. As more amino acids join this growing chain, the resulting chain is a polypeptide. Each polypeptide has a free amino group at one end. This end has the N-terminal, or the amino-terminal, and the other end has a free...

Binary Fission01:26

Binary Fission

3.4K
Binary fission is the primary mode of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, such as bacteria. It results in the production of two genetically identical daughter cells. This highly efficient process ensures the rapid propagation of bacterial populations under favorable conditions and involves coordinated cellular and molecular events.DNA Replication and SeparationThe process begins with the replication of the bacterial chromosome. The circular DNA molecule unwinds at a specific origin of...

Binary Fission01:20

Binary Fission

64.6K
Fission is the division of a single entity into two or more parts, which regenerate into separate entities that resemble the original. Organisms in the Archaea and Bacteria domains reproduce using binary fission, in which a parent cell splits into two parts that can each grow to the size of the original parent cell. This asexual method of reproduction produces cells that are all genetically identical.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The study reveals how bonding and caging mechanisms dictate gel and glass states in microgel mixtures. Increasing sulfonated polystyrene (PSS) concentration affects gel and glass properties differently, suggesting shared mechanisms between glass transition and physical gelation.

Area of Science:

  • Soft Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Colloid Science

Background:

  • Dynamically arrested liquids form gels, repulsive glasses, or attractive glasses.
  • Bonding and caging mechanisms govern the static and dynamic properties of these states.
  • Understanding the interplay between bonding and caging is crucial for controlling material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the competition between bonding and caging in a binary mixture of core/shell microgels and charged particles.
  • Determine how varying component concentrations and temperature influence gel and glass states.
  • Clarify the distinct roles of bonding and caging in different arrested states.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a binary mixture of polystyrene core/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) shell (CS) microgels and sulfonated polystyrene (PSS) particles.
  • Studied the effects of varying PSS concentration and temperature on the system's properties.
  • Analyzed changes in localization length and gel/glass strength with varying parameters.

Main Results:

  • In gels, increasing PSS concentration increases localization length and weakens the gel.
  • In glasses, increasing PSS concentration decreases localization length and strengthens the glass.
  • Temperature changes affect effective volume fraction due to CS microgel volume phase transition.

Conclusions:

  • Static and dynamic properties of gels are primarily controlled by bonding.
  • Static and dynamic properties of repulsive and attractive glasses are mainly governed by caging.
  • Glass transition and physical gelation may share similar mechanisms, with glass transition exhibiting longer relaxation times.
