Capillary forces between colloidal particles at fluid interfaces

Capillary Forces between Colloidal Particles at Fluid Interfaces... [Pg.31]

Lateral forces between particles floating at a fluid interface or immersed in a thin liquid film are observed and utilized in some extraction and separation flotation processes [591]. They are important in stabilizing emulsions and foams, for making porous materials from emulsions and foams [593, 594], and for preparing colloidal crystals [595, 596]. The presence of lateral capillary forces has... [Pg.155]
