Colloid wall material

Sarcomatous and desmoplastic neoplasms and various cysts with collagenous walls may simulate abscesses (see Figs. 20.3 IB, 20.34A, and 20.39). These tumors may be distinguished by the lack of an inflammatory component and the presence of a neoplastic component. More problematic are cysts that have ruptured and exuded material foreign to the CNS, such as colloid or squamous epithelial cells. If this material is not detectable on TI E staining within the inflammatory reaction, immunohistochemical stains for cyst wall material, such as CK stains for epithelial cells, assist the interpretation. These other lesions are sterile in situ and do not stain for microorganisms as an abscess would (see Box 20.2). 

Capillary network and porous material in the mesoscale can be viewed as a complex system consisting of two mutually interacting constituents, namely, the colloidal suspension and the wall material. The complexity of these components is connected mainly with the development of multiple spatio-temporal scales involved in a proper description of their physical, chemical, and geometrical properties. In the case of colloidal suspension, the multiple scales come from ...

At short interparticle distances, the van der Walls forces show that two metallic particles will be mutually attracted. In the absence of repulsive forces opposed to the van der Walls forces the colloidal metal particles will aggregate. Consequently, the use of a protective agent able to induce a repulsive force opposed to the van der Walls forces is necessary to provide stable nanoparticles in solution. The general stabihzation mechanisms of colloidal materials have been described in Derjaguin-Landau-Verway-Overbeck (DLVO) theory. [40,41] Stabilization of colloids is usually discussed... 

One characteristic of shear banded flow is the presence of fluctuations in the flow field. Such fluctuations also occur in some glassy colloidal materials at colloid volume fractions close to the glass transition. One such system is the soft gel formed by crowded monodisperse multiarm (122) star 1,4-polybutadienes in decane. Using NMR velocimetry Holmes et al. [23] found evidence for fluctuations in the flow behavior across the gap of a wide gap concentric cylindrical Couette device, in association with a degree of apparent slip at the inner wall. The timescale of these fluctuations appeared to be rapid (with respect to the measurement time per shear rate in the flow curve), in the order of tens to hundreds of milliseconds. As a result, the velocity distributions, measured at different points across the cell, exhibited bimodal behavior, as apparent in Figure 2.8.13. These workers interpreted their data... 

Grimley (G10, Gil) used an ultramicroscope technique to determine the velocities of colloidal particles suspended in a falling film of tap water. It was assumed that the particles moved with the local liquid velocity, so that, by observing the velocities of particles at different distances from the wall, a complete velocity profile could be obtained. These results indicated that the velocity did not follow the semiparabolic pattern predicted by Eq. (11) instead, the maximum velocity occurred a short distance below the free surface, while nearer the wall the experimental results were lower than those given by Eq. (11). It was found, however, that the velocity profile approached the theoretical shape when surface-active material was added and the waves were damped out, and, in the light of later results, it seems probable that the discrepancies in the presence of wavy flow are due to the inclusion of the fluctuating wavy velocities near the free surface.
