Free interaction terms

After this short intermezzo, we turn back to introduce the last class of lattice models for amphiphiles, the vector models. Like the three-component model, they are based on the three state Ising model for ternary fluids however, they extend it in such a way that they account for the orientations of the amphiphiles explicitly amphiphiles (sites with 5 = 0) are given an additional degree of freedom a vector with length unity, which is sometimes constrained to point in one of the nearest neighbor directions, and sometimes completely free. It is set to zero on sites which are not occupied by amphiphiles. A possible interaction term which accounts for the peculiarity of the amphiphiles reads... 

As is known, SEC separations require interaction-free conditions. Therefore, the enthalpic contribution to the free energy term vanishes when no enthalpic interaction is postulated between analyte and sorbent ... 

Calculating the correction to the system s free energy in the lowest order in Jij, which corresponds to the interaction term from Eq. (74), is entirely straightforward and yields... 

AGg (X) can be removed by assuming that it is equivalent to the polar contribution to the free energy of solution of solute X in a nonpolar hydrocarbon solvent, such as squalane. A second reason for using a reference hydrocarbon solvent is to correct, at least partially, for the fact that the hardcore van der Haals volume is a poor estimate of the size of the cavity and its accessible surface for solvent interactions for aromatic and cyclic solutes. The solvent accessible surface area would logically be the preferred parameter for the cavity term but is very difficult to calculate while the van der Haals volume is readily accessible. With the above approximations the solvent interaction term for... 

Conceptualizations, once arrived at, interact to produce new conceptualizations, new technology, from which, once more, new concepts and new needs may emerge. Television, for instance, derives as a concept from motion pictures and radio and, even though it was introduced only a comparatively short time ago, has rapidly become a central part of homes at all levels of society in our culture. Watching television has tended to produce a more uniform culture through greater exposure to common stimuli, has reduced the amount of time available for free interaction by members of any particular household, and has resulted in the creation of such implements as "TV trays" and "TV dinners" to accommodate the need for more time around the television set. Automobiles have made possible the movement to the suburbs, the virtual end of public transportation in many parts of our country, and a resultant increased dependency on private means of transportation. In its turn, this has produced a more mobile population, a proliferation of roads, a tendency to think of distance in terms of units of time, the destruction of the countryside, and an increased need to deal with air pollution. 

We can determine the interaction term V in Eq. (2) through the requirement that H reproduce the macroscopic free energy in Eq. (1) in the limit of straight steps with uniform spacing w. Thus if Ly is the length of the system in the y-direction we require... 

This represents the difference in the second adsorption free energy term in Equation 21, i.e. the two terms on the right hand side each represent the change in free energy when a water-surface molecular contact is replaced with a surfactant-surface molecular contact. It is very reasonable to assume that, at close packing, both surfactants adsorb with only their hydrocarbon moieties (or part of these moieties) in direct contact with the surface. Hence, the two surfactants interact with the latex surface with the same strength and the last term in Equation 17 is equal to zero.
