Although this book significantly differs from the earlier Colloid Chemistry textbook, it nevertheless focuses on the specifics of educational and research work carried out at the Colloid Chemistry Division at the Chemistry Department of MSU. Many results presented in this book represent the art developed in the laboratories of the Colloid Chemistry Division, in the Laboratory of Physical-Chemical Mechanics (headed by E.D. Shchukin since 1967) of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Science, and in other research institutions and industrial laboratories under the guidance of the authors and with their direct participation. Special attention is devoted in the book to the broad capabilities that the use of surfactants offers for controlling the properties and behavior of disperse systems and various materials due to the specific physico-chemical interactions taking place at interfaces. At the same time the authors made every effort to avoid duplication of material traditionally covered in textbooks on physical chemistry, electrochemistry, polymer chemistry, etc. These include adsorption from the gas phase on solid surfaces (by microporous adsorbents), the structure of the dense part of the electrical double layer, electrocapillary phenomena, specific properties of polymer colloids, and some other areas. 

Certain model assumptions are necessary in order to reveal the surface concentration of specifically adsorbed ions in the total surface excess F,-. Usually, the ionic component of the electrical double layer (EDL) is assumed to consist of the dense part and the diffuse layer separated by the so-called outer Helmholtz plane. Only specifically adsorbing ions can penetrate into the dense layer close to the surface (e.g. iodide ions), with their electric centers located on the inner Helmholtz plane. The charge density of these specifically adsorbed ions ai is determined by their surface concentration F Namely, for single-charged anions ... 

Flame spray metallising is widely used for the protection of metal against corrosion, especially for in situ protection of stmctural members. The principal metal used for spraying of plastics is sine. Aluminum and copper are also used. If the distance from the part is too great, the zinc solidifies before it touches the part and adhesion is extremely poor. If the molten zinc oxidizes, conductivity and adhesion are poor. If the distance is too short, the zinc is too hot and the plastic warps or degrades. These coatings are not as dense as electrically deposited coatings because of numerous pores, oxide inclusions, and discontinuities where particles have incompletely coalesced. 

Arrhenius plots of conductivity for the four components of the elementary cell are shown in Fig. 34. They indicate that electrolyte and interconnection materials are responsible of the main part of ohmic losses. Furthermore, both must be gas tight. Therefore, it is necessary to use them as thin and dense layers with a minimum of microcracks. It has to be said that in the literature not much attention has been paid to electrode overpotentials in evaluating polarization losses. These parameters greatly depend on composition, porosity and current density. Their study must be developed in parallel with the physical properties such as electrical conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, density, atomic diffusion, etc. 

One problem that can be encountered with roller bottles is the build up of static electricity which can affect the evenness of cell growth causing bands of densely packed cells to form around the bottles. This is partly overcome if the bottle contacts the rollers only at special ridges which are incorporated one at each end of the modem plastic roller bottle. 

Both of these quantities contain an arbitrary constant, the zero from which the potentials are measured, but differences of either the electrostatic potential or of the electrochemical potential, between two phases, are definite. The thermionic work function, x, the work required to extract electrons from the highest energy level within the phase, to a state of rest just outside the phase, is also definite and the relation between the three definite quantities fa, V, and x is given by (3.1), where is the electrochemical potential of electrons very widely separated from all other charges. The internal electric potential , and other expressions relating to the electrical part of the potential inside a phase containing dense matter, are undefined, and so are the differences of these quantities between two phases of different composition. This indefiniteness arises from the impossibility of separating the electrostatic part of the forces between particles, from the chemical, or more complex interactions between electrons and atomic nuclei, when both types of force are present. 

It s really a transmission system rather than a total propulsion concept, like where you have a turbine that turns a shaft which turns a generator which is electrically connected to a motor which eventually turns the prop. That part s all the same, but the motors and the generators are intrinsically different, they re more power dense and more efficient. ... 

Fluctuations of the Molecular Fields. The second right-hand term of Kerr s constant (191), in the case of dipolar molecules, leads directly to the result (178). We shall now show that this part of the Kerr constant is non-zero even in liquids composed of non-dipolar molecules. This is due to the circumstance that in dense media, even if no external field is applied, intense molecular fields fluctuating in time and space have to be considered locally. The molecular fields Fm induce electric dipoles in the molecules in such regions, giving rise in the medium to the non-zero total dipole moment A/q occurring in the second part of the constant (191). In fact, we have in a linear approximation ...
