Hydrodynamic property

The description of the transport properties of electrolyte solutions requires some basic information on the hydrodynamic interactions between the solute particles. 

This chapter is aimed at giving a concise presentation of the necessary tools. The first section of this chapter is devoted to the basic principles of hydrodynamics. In the second section, a description of hydrodynamic interactions between moving particles in a fluid is presented. Limitation is made to the level of the Navier-Stokes theory commonly used in the theory of electrolyte solutions. 

The first question can be answered by the presentation of a simple experiment. Consider a rigid spherical particle of macroscopic size (radius R) and mass m, immersed in a large volume of a fluid. The fluid and the sphere are at rest. The fluid viscosity is denoted by tj. 

At time f = 0, a force F pp is applied to the sphere. The latter is therefore accelerated, according to Newton s law, until it reaches a constant velocity. Then the applied force is balanced by a friction force F 

The Stokes s law states that the force F is proportional to the velocity v of the 

Alkali lignin, which is prepared by treating the wood with aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide, in the presence of sodium sulfide (sulfate lignin) is a more appropriate object for structural studies. This polymer is not a polyelectrolyte and has a high molecular mass. In dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), the macromolecules of sulfate lignin are compact particles, which are characterised by [r ] varying from 7.4 (M = 1.3 x 10 ) to 13.3 cm /g (M = 38.7 X 10 ) and the log [p] versus log M plot with the slope b = 0.15 [45, 46]. 

Similar experimental results (Table 2.1) were obtained for milled wood lignin from pine [48]. Note only the higher value of the exponent than that reported in [47]. The fractions examined in this study spanned a broader interval of molecular masses this usually allows a more reliable determination of hydrodynamic parameters. 

The average value of A, as estimated from sedimentation (according to Svedberg) and viscometry was 3.1 x 10 erg/(K moT ). The data obtained suggest that [r ], D, and S conform to cross correlation, which are characteristic of homologous polymers this correlation is not confined to the routine test of the type I = (b, +l)/3= 1 - b, but involves more elaborate relationships between K, Kp, and b, b,, bj [38]. 

For lignin polymers with an obviously nonlinear chain topology, formulation of the concept of a homologous polymer may present a quite difficult task. At the current state 

It was found that the coefficients of translational diffusion and sedimentation coefficients for lignins are independent of concentration in the concentration range involved in analytical determinations [44, 47],

TWo limiting conditions exist where lubrication is used. In the first case, the oil film is thick enough so that the surface regions are essentially independent of each other, and the coefficient of friction depends on the hydrodynamic properties, especially the viscosity, of the oil. Amontons law is not involved in this situation, nor is the specific nature of the solid surfaces. 

The effects of the concentration of divinylbenzene on pore-size distribution and surface areas of micropores, mesopores, and macropores in monosized PS-DVB beads prepared in the presence of linear polymeric porogens have been studied (65). While the total surface area is clearly determined by the content of divinylbenzene, the sum of pore volumes for mesoforms and macropores, as well as their pore-size distribution, do not change within a broad range of DVB concentrations. However, the more cross-linked the beads, the better the mechanical and hydrodynamic properties. 

Centrifugation can be used either as a preparative technique for separating and purifying macromolecules and cellular components or as an analytical technique to characterize the hydrodynamic properties of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids.

Hydrodynamic Properties of Gelatin -Studies from Intrinsic Viscosity Measurements... 

Works where study the hydrodynamic properties of a biopolymers in aqueous solution at different temperatures are made by Guner (1999), and Guner Kibarer (2001) for dextran Ghen Tsaih (1998) and Kasaii (2008) for chitosan, Bohidar for gelatin (1998), and Monkos for serum proteins (1996,1997,1999, 2000, 2004 and 2005). 

In this work, an experimental study was conducted on gelatin in semi-dilute region in water solution and research the effect of temperature, pH, zeta potential, and ionic strength on hydrodynamic properties by viscometiy, in order to determine the conformational characteristic, and phase transition (Tgei). 

Gelatin behavior in this system indicates that it behaves rod-like that tends to contract with increasing temperature. This conclusion is supported by the observed data from the hydrodynamic properties analyzed.

That dendrimers are unique when compared with other architectures is confirmed by an investigation on porphyrin core dendrimers and their isomeric linear analogues [63]. The isomers displayed dramatically different hydrodynamic properties, crystallinity, and solubility characteristics when compared to those of their dendritic analogues, and photophysical studies showed that energy transfer from the poly(benzylether) backbone to the core was more efficient in the dendrimer because of the shorter distance between the donor units and the acceptor core.
