Inextensible surfaces

Nearly all oxidation reactions involve an electronic mechanism, and on this basis Roginskii has proposed certain orienting rules for the selection of extensive oxidation catalysts. As indicated in Table VI, these rules are based largely upon color and other physical properties which reflect upon the electronic properties of the solid catalyst. Up to the present the application of these selection principles to inextensive oxidation catalysts has been unsuccessful. This is due, in part, to the great diversity in opinions concerning the oxidation mechanism on the catalytic surface and its connection with the inextensive oxidation reaction. Chariot (170) has advanced the idea that the reactions of inextensive and extensive oxidation occur independently and with different reaction velocities. This view, however, has been opposed by Marek (217) who finds it difficult to conceive of a catalyst which would accelerate the... 

The earliest available hydrodynamic theory of water wave damping by elastic surface films was published by Lamb (1895). He refers to Reynolds (1880) and the experiments by Aitken (see Scott 1979, Giles and Forrester 1970), but prior publication of the detailed theory is not indicated. All but the outline of the theory was omitted from later editions of this book, and it is likely that Lamb assumed that damping was greatest with an inextensible film, and that intermediate elasticities, therefore, had less effect (cited after Scott 1979). This conclusion was shown by Dorrestein (1951) to be incorrect. The paper by Levich (1940) was the first to present in detail the linearised hydrodynamics of waves on a water surface with surface dilational elasticity. The only cases considered in detail concern insoluble films, and represent the clean and incompressible-film-covered surface. A detailed treatment of the hydrodynamic theory of surface waves, including the effect of an elastic surface film, was published by Levich in 1962. In addition, the damping caused by dissolved surface-active material was considered. Further laboratory experiments performed until 1978 were briefly reviewed by Scott (1979). 

Equation (10.5.33) implies, as noted in connection with Eq. (10.5.24), that the surfactant film is incompressible and behaves like a membrane or thin metal sheet that bends as the surface deforms but which is inextensible that is, it neither contracts at the wave trough or expands at its crest (Levich 1962). The effect is the inhibition of longitudinal motion, which is replaced by a transverse wave motion—in other words, a laminar viscous wave that propagates into the fluid in the - z direction because of the surface deflection. 

Dembo et al. [1988] developed a model based on the ideas of Evans [1985] and Bell [1978]. In this model, a piece of membrane is attached to the wall, and a pulling force is exerted on one end while the other end is held fixed. The cell membrane is modeled as a thin inextensible membrane. The model of Dembo et al. [1988] was subsequentlyextended via a probabilistic approach for the formation of bonds by Coezens-Roberts et al. [1990]. Other authors used the probabilistic approach and Monte Carlo simulation to study the adhesion process as reviewed by Zhu [ 2000]. Dembo s model has also been extended to account for the distribution of microvilli on the surface of the cell and to simulate the rolling and the adhesion of a cell on a surface under shear flow. Hammer and Apte [1992] modeled the cell as a microvilli-coated hard sphere covered with adhesive springs. The binding and breakage of bonds and the distribution of the receptors on the tips of the microvilli are computed using a probabilistic approach. 

In the second limiting case, the surface elasticity roj(-dY/dT5), or more precisely the dimensionless surface elasticity number [To5(-dY/dr5)//Lateral flow along the interface is virtually precluded and effects of surface deflection are important in this inextensible case which might be expected for a concentrated, nearly incompressible monolayer. 

The tangential velocity and the perturbation d>p in the total potential defined in Equation 5.103 can be foimd from Equations 5.20 and 5.26, respectively, using this expression for W. If we assume that the film surfaces contain sufficient surfactant to prevent lateral motion, a common situation in practice, we have the inextensible case considered previously. Hence the tangential component of the momentum balance becomes a requirement that vanish. A draivation similar to that of Section 2.2 leads to the following counterpart of Equation 5.42 ... 

The disjoining pressure is -A I6rch, according to Equation 5.111. Hence, from Equations 5.119 through 5.121, we have, for inextensible Aim surfaces. 

It is direeted from the top, the region of higher surfactant concentration and Iowct surface tension, toward the bottom. Obviously the direction of this force, bring against the direction of Ve, tends to decrease this velocity. When Ve is zero (i.e., e - oo), the surfaee is immobile and IJ - This situation is analogous to the case of an inextensible surfaee considered in the damping of capillary waves in Chapter 5 (Section 3). 

The generalized strain rate is y = yi3. There is a class of restricted flows called viscometric flows, which are motions equivalent to steady simple shearing. Tanner (2000) has show various viscometric kinematic fields where each fluid element is undergoing a steady simple shearing motion, with streamlines that are straight, circular, or helical. Each flow can be viewed as a relative sliding motion of a shear of inextensible material surfaces, which are called slip surfaces. 

The monolayers have a spontaneous curvature Jo and a surface of inextension at a distance Zo from the bilayer mid-plane. Using these quantities, one can transform (7) into [11]...

The results of Debye-Hiickel theory are shown by dotted and dashed lines for zero and maximum electrical coupling, respectively, between the two sides of the curved bilayer. The results of Poisson-Boltzmann theory are indicated by solid and by dashed-dotted lines for zero and maximum electrical coupling, respectively. The calculations hold for kT = 4 lO- J, Cbilayer = 2 o, fiwawr = 80 Co. Both the surface charge and the surface of inextension were taken to coincide with the monolayer hydrocarbon/water interface.

This is the basis of all the analyses used in peeling and has an attractive simplicity. Note that the thickness of the strip, h, does not appear in the result, nor do any material properties. This is because we have assumed that the strip is perfectly flexible in bending and also is inextensible in tension (i.e. the peel arm behaves as a piece of string which is infinitely rigid in axial tension hence the superscript ooE ), so that it simply transfers the external work to the surface in an non-prescribed way. 

The requirements for static ozone resistance vs. dynamic ozone resistance are very different, so that choiee of antiozonant depends greatly on the expected service of the rubber produet. Static protection is provided by petroleum waxes, usually paraffin and/or microcrystalline waxes. The waxes work by blooming to the rubber surface to form a physical barrier to ozone attack. The choice of wax or wax blend is based upon migration temperature where mobility and solubility of the wax in the rubber are balanced so that sufficient bloom occurs for optimum protection. Because the wax film is inextensible, it will rupture under deformation and expose the elastomer. Waxes protect only under static conditions.
