Electrostatic force density

It has been noted that the electrostatic forces between two parallel flat surfaces uniformly charged with density cr are distance independent if they are interacting in the air or vacuum. When the two surfaces are charged oppositely (positive and negative, respectively), the intensity of the electrical field between them is cr/eg, and there would be no electrical field in the gap between similarly charged surfaces. 

A possible reason for the inaccessibility of a part of the acid groups could be the crosslink density which depends on the composition of the microgels. However, because the number of titratable acid groups does not depend on the composition and, therefore, on the crosslink density of the microgels, it must be concluded that electrostatic forces prevent ions from entering the microgel particles. 

At equilibrium surfactant concentrations of less than 0.0003 M SDS where the hematite surface is still positively charged, adsorption of surfactant follows its normal pattern due to the electrostatic forces which provide the driving force for adsorption. Sufficient effective surface area must be available for this level of SDS adsorption density. As surfactant adsorption... 

The function on the right hand side of Eq. (34) consists of a series of elliptic integrals, which depend not only on the unknown electrostatic force but also on the surface charge densities, q and on the interface and protein surface, respectively, and on the inverse Debye screening length (1/K). 

The efficiency of a TASA process is dependent upon the balanced interplay of a number of forces. As illustrated in Figure 8.4A, there are three major forces exerted on each colloidal particle as the liquid dewetts across the cell the capillary force (Fc) associated with the meniscus of the liquid slug the gravitational force (Fg) due to the difference in density between the particle and the dispersion medium and the electrostatic force (Fe) caused by charges resting on the surface of the particle and the bottom substrate. When colloidal... 

In a gas-solid suspension system, let nq be the charge density and V be the effective domain. The electrostatic force of a particle carrying a charge q in the direction of n can be expressed by... 

The positive sign directly results from electrostatic forces always being attractive between tip and (any) sample independent of whether electrons or holes are the majority carriers. The proportionality factor 5 is larger than one since the surface charge density a clearly dominates the polarization induced force on the tip.
