Colloids

21.3K
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...

Molecular Comparison of Gases, Liquids, and Solids

55.6K
Particles in a solid are tightly packed together (fixed shape) and often arranged in a regular pattern; in a liquid, they are close together with no regular arrangement (no fixed shape); in a gas, they are far apart with no regular arrangement (no fixed shape). Particles in a solid vibrate about fixed positions (cannot flow) and do not generally move in relation to one another; in a liquid, they move past each other (can flow) but remain in essentially constant contact; in a gas, they move...

Rise of Liquid in a Capillary Tube01:18

Rise of Liquid in a Capillary Tube

3.3K
When very thin cylindrical tubes, called capillaries, are dipped in a liquid, the liquid rises or falls in the tube compared to the surrounding liquid. This phenomenon is called capillary action. Capillary action occurs due to the combination of two opposing forces: the cohesive forces of the liquid, which cause it to stick to itself and form a rounded shape, and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the walls of the container, which cause the liquid to be attracted to the container walls.

Deriving the Speed of Sound in a Liquid01:09

Deriving the Speed of Sound in a Liquid

982
As with waves on a string, the speed of sound or a mechanical wave in a fluid depends on the fluid's elastic modulus and inertia. The two relevant physical quantities are the bulk modulus and the density of the material. Indeed, it turns out that the relationship between speed and the bulk modulus and density in fluids is the same as that between the speed and the Young's modulus and density in solids.
The speed of sound in fluids can be derived by considering a mechanical wave...

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Introduction01:11

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Introduction

3.6K
High-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), formerly referred to as High-pressure liquid chromatography, is a powerful technique used to separate, identify, and quantify components in complex mixtures. The term "high pressure" refers to using high pressure to push the liquid mobile phase through the tightly packed columns.
In HPLC, two phases play a critical role in the separation process:

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Instrumentation

3.1K
High-performance liquid chromatography, or HPLC, is an analytical technique that separates liquid samples under high pressures. An HPLC instrument consists of glass bottles for storing solvents called mobile phase reservoirs. HPLC-grade solvents are used to maintain high purity, and the dissolved gases are removed using a degasser, such as a vacuum pumping system or sparging with helium. The solvents are then pumped into the analytical column using a screw-driven syringe or reciprocating pumps.

Summary

Particle roughness and surface chemistry influence how particles detach from interfaces. Surface roughness reduces detachment force for hydrophobic particles, offering strategies for Pickering emulsions and foams.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Colloid and Surface Chemistry
  • Interfacial Phenomena

Background:

  • Particle surface properties critically influence particle-based material design.
  • While particle adsorption is studied, desorption mechanisms of rough particles are not well understood.
  • Pickering emulsions and foams rely on particle stabilization at interfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the desorption behavior of rough, chemically modified microparticles from liquid-liquid interfaces.
  • Analyze the role of surface roughness and chemical modification on particle detachment dynamics.
  • Understand contact-line dynamics during particle detachment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized colloidal-probe atomic force microscopy (AFM) to study particle detachment.
  • Employed raspberry-like microparticles with varying surface roughness and chemical modifications.
  • Quantified desorption forces and observed contact-line behaviors.

Main Results:

  • Observed distinct contact-line dynamics (pinning vs. sliding) during particle detachment.
  • Demonstrated that surface roughness reduces the desorption force for hydrophobic particles into oil.
  • Identified multiple pinning points influenced by applied load, particle roughness, and surface chemistry.

Conclusions:

  • Surface roughness and chemical modification significantly alter particle detachment from interfaces.
  • Findings provide insights into controlling particle adhesion and stability in Pickering emulsions and foams.
  • Results suggest strategies for both stabilizing and destabilizing these systems through particle design.
