Colloids particle size

The generally low lipid content and the poor viscosity of lipid nanodispersions make these preparations, as they are, less suitable for dermal drug application. The handling of the preparation by the patient is improved by SLN incorporation into ointments, creams, and gels. Alternatively, ready-to-use preparations may be obtained by one-step production, increasing the lipid phase to at least 30%. However, increasing the lipid frequently results in an unwanted increase in particle size. Surprisingly, it has been found that very concentrated (30 to 40%) semisolid cetyl palmitate formulations preserve the colloidal particle size [10].

This chapter presents results of the studies on photoluminescence spectra of CdS Q-colloids in the size range of 2R = 20-100 A as well as on the luminescence quenching of Q-CdS by various quenchers under variation of the colloidal particle sizes. 

Trocha and Koros [1994] applied a diffusion-controlled caulking procedure with colloidal silica to plug large pores or defects in ceramic membranes. An important feature of this proc ure is the proper selection of the colloid particle size to eliminate or reduce large, less selective pores while minimizing deposition in the small desirable pores. The technique has b n successfully proven with anodic alumina membranes (having the majority of the pores about 2(X) nm in diameter) using 10-20 nm silica colloids. 

The PhEur 2005 describes magnesium aluminum silicate (aluminium magnesium silicate) as a mixture of particles with colloidal particle size of montmorillonite and saponite, free from grit and nonswellable ore. 

Control over the gold colloidal particle size, by simple variation of the relative surfactant concentration in the salt solution during reduction has been studied in detail for alkanethiols by Leff and co-workers [26].

Colloidal particle size and shape can be evaluated directly by optical microscopy and by electron transmission or scanning microscopy. During preparation of samples for microscopy, agglomeration of particles often occurs, and thus it is important to complement microscopy with in-situ measurements.

In 1908 and subsequent years, J.B. Perrin (1923) reported consistent values of Avogadro s number based on the Stokes-Einstein equation and experiment. Perrin determined experimentally values of (r ) for different colloidal particle sizes, temperatures, and liquid solutions, and substituted the measured values into the formula... 

The possibility of preparing colloidal particles of Pt between 50 - 60 A in diameter by photoreduction of K2PtCl4 inserted into polymer bubbles [49] was demonstrated. It was, moreover, found that the catalyst activity in during C2H4 hydrogenation increases with a decrease in Pt particle size. The dispersity of colloidal particles size depended on the concentration of the solvent used for K2PtCl4.

The decrease of the aggregation of surfactant particles in the comse of reaction is confirmed by light scattering studies. A study using the turbidity spectrum showed (Fig. 2.5) that the decrease of the colloid particle concentration occms in line with the decrease of the colloid particle size. The decrease of the particle size is also confirmed by the data from viscosity-diffusion (Table 2.3). 

The rate of fouling is affected by electric field strength and frequency, concentration of colloids, particle size, particle shape and the surface properties of the dispersed phase. 

The simplest method is optical microscopy, in which visible light (photons) is used to observe a sample. It has a resolution limit around 0.25-0.5 pm, which is on the order of 2/2, where 2 is the wavelength of incident light. From a strict colloid science point of view, it lies near the upper limit of colloid particle sizes and appears to be of limited utility. However, it is of great help in the identification of minerals, because it allows observation of crystal habits (the shape and size of crystals, which are determined by their internal symmetry). With experience, many minerals can be identified in a soil sample under a microscope, even from simple inspection. A unique feature of optical microscopy is the availability of polarized light, which is handy in distinguishing minerals or even different crystal types of the same compound (Bullock et al. 1985 Cady, Wilding, and Drees 2010).

These materials are generally outside the scope of this book although, in some cases, the powders have a fairly high specific surface area and at least fractions may be of colloidal particle size. A few are mentioned as examples. 

In reality most colloid particle sizes lie between these two extremes. The conformations of polymer chains have been discussed by de Gennes (60) see below. In many cases, the polymer chain tries to avoid the wall at points other than the attachment point.
