Adsorption mechanical properties

Concluding the thermodynamic analysis, we would like to note that all the approaches are based on the general principles of thermodynamics and they do not account for specific features of pol3oner behavior used to explain properties of polymer solutions, adsorption, mechanical properties, etc. We believe that the science of adhesion should be transformed from general and qualitative descriptions to the quantitative analysis of the interphase phenomena based on statistical theories. It is also desirable to distinguish between adhesion at various phase borders such as non-polymeric solid-polymer, polymeric adhesive-an-other polymer (in any phase or aggregate state). [Pg.80]

Among all the low energy interactions, London dispersion forces are considered as the main contributors to the physical adsorption mechanism. They are ubiquitous and their range of interaction is in the order 2 molecular diameters. For this reason, this mechanism is always operative and effective only in the topmost surface layers of a material. It is this low level of adhesion energy combined with the viscoelastic properties of the silicone matrix that has been exploited in silicone release coatings and in silicone molds used to release 3-dimensional objects. However, most adhesive applications require much higher energies of adhesion and other mechanisms need to be involved. [Pg.695]

It is evident from these results that the interactive properties of the investigated SEC PS/DVB or DVB gels are very different. Because polar electroneutral macromolecules of PMMA were more retained from a nonpolar solvent (toluene) than from polar ones (THF, chloroform), we conclude that the dipol-dipol interactions were operative. Columns No. 1 and No. 2 were very interactive and can be applied successfully to LC techniques that combine exclusion and interaction (adsorption) mechanisms. These emerging techniques are LC at the critical adsorption point (18), the already mentioned LC under limiting conditions of adsorption (15,18), and LC under limiting conditions of desorption (16). In these cases, the adsorptivity of the SEC columns may even be advantageous. In most conventional SEC applications, however, the interactive properties of columns may cause important problems. In any case, interactive properties of SEC columns should be considered when applying the universal calibration, especially for medium polar and polar polymers. It is therefore advisable to check the elution properties of SEC columns before use with the... [Pg.455]

Adsorption of rubber over the nanosilica particles alters the viscoelastic responses. Analysis of dynamic mechanical properties therefore provides a direct clue of the mbber-silica interaction. Figure 3.22 shows the variation in storage modulus (log scale) and tan 8 against temperature for ACM-silica, ENR-silica, and in situ acrylic copolymer and terpolymer-silica hybrid nanocomposites. [Pg.77]

As an example of composite core/shell submicron particles, we made colloidal spheres with a polystyrene core and a silica shell. The polar vapors preferentially affect the silica shell of the composite nanospheres by sorbing into the mesoscale pores of the shell surface. This vapor sorption follows two mechanisms physical adsorption and capillary condensation of condensable vapors17. Similar vapor adsorption mechanisms have been observed in porous silicon20 and colloidal crystal films fabricated from silica submicron particles32, however, with lack of selectivity in vapor response. The nonpolar vapors preferentially affect the properties of the polystyrene core. Sorption of vapors of good solvents for a glassy polymer leads to the increase in polymer free volume and polymer plasticization32. [Pg.80]

It is important to propose molecular and theoretical models to describe the forces, energy, structure and dynamics of water near mineral surfaces. Our understanding of experimental results concerning hydration forces, the hydrophobic effect, swelling, reaction kinetics and adsorption mechanisms in aqueous colloidal systems is rapidly advancing as a result of recent Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MO) models for water properties near model surfaces. This paper reviews the basic MC and MD simulation techniques, compares and contrasts the merits and limitations of various models for water-water interactions and surface-water interactions, and proposes an interaction potential model which would be useful in simulating water near hydrophilic surfaces. In addition, results from selected MC and MD simulations of water near hydrophobic surfaces are discussed in relation to experimental results, to theories of the double layer, and to structural forces in interfacial systems. [Pg.20]

Adsorption mechanisms represent probably the most important interaction phenomena exerted by solid surfaces on the environmental fate of organic pollutants [65, 127-130]. Adsorption controls the quantity of free organic components in solution and thus determines their persistence, mobility, and bioavailability. The extent of adsorption depends on the amount and properties of both solid phase-humic substances (SPHS) and organic pollutants. Once adsorbed on an SPHs >an organic pollutant may be easily desorbed, desorbed with difficulty, or not at all. Thus sorption phenomena may vary from complete reversibility to total irreversibility. [Pg.129]

Abstract In this chapter, the depression mechanism of five kinds of depressants is introduced respectively. The principle of depression by hydroxyl ion and hydrosulphide is explained which regulates the pH to make the given mineral float or not. And so the critical pH for certain minerals is determined. Thereafter, the depression by cyanide and hydrogen peroxide is narrated respectively which are that for cyanide the formation of metal cyanide complex results in depression of minerals while for hydrogen peroxide the decomposition of xanthate salts gives rise to the inhibitation of flotation. Lastly, the depression by the thio-organic such as polyhydroxyl and poly carboxylic xanthate is accounted for in detail including die flotation behavior, effect of pulp potential, adsorption mechanism and structure-property relation. [Pg.112]

The foundation of equilibrium-selective adsorption is based on differences in the equilibrium selectivity of the various adsorbates with the adsorbent While all the adsorbates have access to the adsorbent sites, the specific adsorbate is selectively adsorbed based on differences in the adsorbate-adsorbent interaction. This in turn results in higher adsorbent selectivity for one component than the others. One important parameter that affects the equilibrium-selective adsorption mechanism is the interaction between the acidic sites of the zeolite and basic sites of the adsorbate. Specific physical properties of zeolites, such as framework structure, choice of exchanged metal cations, Si02/Al203 ratio and water content can be... [Pg.211]

Surfactant adsorption on solids from aqueous solutions plays a major role in a number of interfacial processes such as enhanced oil recovery, flotation and detergency. The adsorption mechanism in these cases is dependent upon the properties of the solid, solvent as well as the surfactant. While considerable information is available on the effect of solid properties such as surface charge and solubility, solvent properties such as pH and ionic strength (1,2,3), the role of possible structural variations of the surfactant in determining adsorption is not yet fully understood. [Pg.269]

Based on their molecular properties as well as the properties of the solvent, each inorganic or organic contaminant exhibits an adsorption isotherm that corresponds to one of the isotherm classifications just described. Figure 5.1 illustrates these isotherms for different organic contaminants, adsorbed either from water or hexane solution on kaolinite, attapulgite, montmorillonite, and a red Mediterranean soil (Yaron et al. 1996). These isotherms may be used to deduce the adsorption mechanism. [Pg.97]

Carbon composites result from the combination of carbon with one or more dissimilar materials. Each individual component maintains its original characteristics while giving the composite distinctive chemical, mechanical and physical properties. The capability of integrating various materials is one of their main advantages. Some components incorporated within the composite result in enhanced sensitivity and selectivity. The best composite compounds will give the resulting material improved chemical, physical and mechanical properties. As such, it is possible to choose between different binders and polymeric matrices in order to obtain a better signal-to-noise ratio, a lower nonspecific adsorption, and improved electrochemical properties (electron transfer rate and electro catalytic behavior). [Pg.7]

Although DNA can be firmly adsorbed on GEC, it retains its unique hybridization properties, which can be monitored using various strategies [99, too], suggesting that the DNA bases are not fully committed in the adsorption mechanism. [Pg.28]

These two are used either separately or as a mixture. Because of the presence of the somewhat flexible ethylene oxide and related units and use of appropriate fillers, these materials give composite fillings with lower polymerization shrinkage, enhanced mechanical properties, lower solubility and water adsorption, better thermal expansion characteristics, and good biocompatibility with aesthetic properties closely matching those of the tooth itself. [Pg.600]

As we consider the mechanical properties of SPs, it is often useful to consider them in the context of entanglements, which are intermolecular interactions that transfer mechanical forces from one molecule to the next. In this chapter we use the term entanglement in a very general way, so that it includes topological entanglements (one polymer chain is physically wrapped around another), chemical entanglements (attractive intermolecular interactions between polymer chains), and surface adsorption (attractive intermolecular interactions between polymer chains and a particle surface, e.g., from a filler). The important, fundamental characteristic is that it is an interaction that allows a mechanical stress on one molecule to be distributed or transferred to another molecule with which it is entangled. [Pg.39]

A few papers have been published recently on the problem of surfactant adsorption maxima on solids in the region of the CMC (1-5). Scamehorn et al. (1,2) and Trogus et al. (3) expTTined the origin of these maxima by various radios of the surfactant solution to the solid, in connection with isomeric impurity of the surfactant. Ananthapadmanabhan and Soniasundaran (4) examined critically the presence of such maxima from the viewpoint of various proposed adsorption mechanisms. They have shown that a mechanism including micellar exclusion, mixed micelle formation and properties of solids, such as the pore size, cannot explain satisfac-... [Pg.216]

The specific surface area of fillers is closely related to their particle size distribution however, it also has a direct impact on composite properties. Adsorption of both small molecular weight additives, and also that of the polymer is proportional to the size of the matrix/filler interface [14]. Adsorption of additives may change stability, while matrix/filler interaction significantly influences mechanical properties, first of all yield stress, tensile strength and impact resistance [5,6]. [Pg.115]

The thickness of the interphase is a similarly intriguing and contradictory question. It depends on the type and strength of the interaction and values from 10 Ato several microns have been reported in the hterature for the most diverse systems [47,49,52,58-60]. Since interphase thickness is calculated or deduced indirectly from some measured quantities, it depends also on the method of determination. Table 3 presents some data for different particulate filled systems. The data indicate that interphase thicknesses determined from some mechanical properties are usually larger than those deduced from theoretical calculations or from extraction of filled polymers [49,52,59-63]. The data supply further proof for the adsorption of polymer molecules onto the filler surface and for the decreased mobility of the chains. Thermodynamic considerations and extraction experiments yield data which are not influenced by the extent of deformation. In mechanical measurements, however, deformation of the material takes place in all cases. The specimen is deformed even during the determination of modulus. With increasing deformations the role and effect of the immobilized chain ends increase and the determined interphase thickness also increases (see Table 3) [61]. [Pg.128]

Most of the adsorbents used in the adsorption process are also useful to catalysis, because they can act as solid catalysts or their supports. The basic function of catalyst supports, usually porous adsorbents, is to keep the catalytically active phase in a highly dispersed state. It is obvious that the methods of preparation and characterization of adsorbents and catalysts are very similar or identical. The physical structure of catalysts is investigated by means of both adsorption methods and various instrumental techniques derived for estimating their porosity and surface area. Factors such as surface area, distribution of pore volumes, pore sizes, stability, and mechanical properties of materials used are also very important in both processes—adsorption and catalysis. Activated carbons, silica, and alumina species as well as natural amorphous aluminosilicates and zeolites are widely used as either catalyst supports or heterogeneous catalysts. From the above, the following conclusions can be easily drawn (Dabrowski, 2001) ... [Pg.44]
