Inter-particle forces

The inter-particle forces are responsible for the formation of stable granules. Below is the list of inter-particle forces ... 

In several cases, however, the DLVO-theory has shown to be inadequate, due to the occurrence of other inter-particle forces that may be present in colloidal suspensions. These phenomena are summed up below ... 

The Monte Carlo simulation of Brownian coagulation involves the evaluation of the ensemble average of the coagulation rate over a large number of particle pairs, through the generation of particle trajectories. The inter-particle forces due to the van der Waals attraction and Born repulsion are accounted for in the description of the relative motion [40] two Particles. The relative Brownian motion of two particles is described by the... 

Aggregation because of strong inter-particle forces, originated by an excess of surface free energy, nanoparticles may easily aggregate. When hydrophobic they will clump together in polar/aqueous media such as any body fluid. This may be inconvenient with animal tests as such clumped material will not disperse,14 and in some cases even cause immediate animal death.15... 

N number of particles, a range of inter-particle forces). If the collision process is binary and non-reactive (post-collision species i, j remain the same as pre-collision species i and j), these indices do not appear in the collision integral, and we can adopt the standard notations of a binary collision turning the two velocities v, v into v, v, with the corresponding abbreviations for the distribution functions /, /i and /, /, respectively. Let W(v, vi —> v, v ) denote the probability for such a transition, then... 

Particle size, shape, inter-particle forces, zeta potential, liquid surfactant phenomena, and liquid viscosity are important characteristics of a solid-liquid suspending system. Mechanism of flow through porous medium is fundamental to theories of sedimentation, filtration, centrifugation, and expression operations. Most solid-liquid materials are compacti-ble. Unique and strange behavior of pressure filtration of compactible materials has been identified. More attention should be paid for separation of those materials.

The inter-particle force F can be computed as / = A]idol l2Hl), where Ah is the Hamaker parameter for the liquid-particle system and is the distance between two primary particles. The coordination number is based on experimental observation and can be calculated as kc 150p, where 0p is the volume fraction of solid within the aggregates. In the case of compact (or solid) particles 0p is close to unity, whereas in the case of fractal aggregates 0p can be determined once the fractal dimension T)f of the aggregates is known 0p = (0.414T)f - 0.21 l)(r/p/(io) , where dp is the size of the particle and do is the size of the primary particle (Vanni, 2000b). 

The stress vector represents the force of the material outside of V(t) acting on the material inside V(t). The assumption, based on the short range of the inter-particle forces, is that this force which the material exerts on itself acts entirely on the surface S(t). Truesdell calls this stress principle the defining concept of continuum mechanics. The stress vector depends not only on time and space, but also on the surface orientation. However, according to Cauchy s fundamental theorem,... 

Abstract. The stability of suspensions/emulsions is under consideration. Traditionally consideration of colloidal systems is based on inclusion only Van-der-Waals (or dispersion) and electrostatic components, which is refereed to as DLVO (Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek) theory. It is shown that not only DLVO components but also other types of the inter-particle forces may play an important role in the stability and colloidal systems. Those contributions are due to hydrodynamic interactions, hydration and hydrophobic forces, steric and depletion forced, oscillatory structural forces. The hydrodynamic and colloidal interactions between drops and bubbles emulsions and foams are even more complex (as compared to that of suspensions of solid particles) due to the fluidity and deformability of those colloidal objects. The latter two features and thin film formation between the colliding particles have a great impact on the hydrodynamic interactions, the magnitude of the disjoining pressure and on the dynamic and thermodynamic stability of such colloidal systems. 

As aheady said, apart from the initial conditions, the only input information in a computer simulation are the details of the inter-particle potential, almost always assumed to be pair-wise additive. Usually in practical simulations, in order to economize the computing time, the interaction potential is truncated at a separations r (the cut-off radius), typically of the order of three molecular diameters. Obviously, the use of a cut-off sphere of small radius is not acceptable when the inter-particle forces are very long ranged. 

The term van der Waals forces includes three types of intermolecular forces London (dispersion) forces, permanent dipole-dipole forces (sometimes referred to as Keesom forces) and permanent-induced dipole interactions (Debye forces). In 1910, van der Waals was awarded the Nohel Prize for his work on the equation of state for gases and liquids concerned with the reasons for non-ideal behaviour in real gases. His equation introduced compensatory terms to account for the non-zero size of the particles and the inter-particle forces between them. This broader definition of van der Waals forces runs contrary to the use of the term in many current textbooks, but is consistent with its use in the IB syllabus. 

Solid materials have a cohesive stmcture, which depends on the interaction between the primary particles. The cohesive stmcture leads indispensably to a void space, which is not occupied by the composite particles such as atoms, ions, and line particles. Consequently, the state and population of such voids strongly depends on the inter-particle forces. The inter-particle forces are different from one system to another chemical bonding, van der Waals force, electrostatic force, magnetic force, surfece tension of adsorbed films on the primary particles, and so on. Even die single crystalline solid, which is composed of atoms or ions has intrinsic voids and defects. Therefore, pores in solids are classified into intra-particle pores and inter-particle pores (Table 9.6) [80]. 

Given an ionic compound and a polar molecular compound of about the same molar mass, which is hkely to have the higher melting point Why In explaining your answer, identify the inter-particle forces present and the roles they play. 

In disperse systems, the inter-particle force may be evaluated from the value of Gp, since the plateau modulus is given by a mathematical function that contains the radial distribution function and the force that particles exert on one another as a fimction of their separation, see [32]. If one makes various approximations to the radial distribution function such as a delta function or a cubic lattice, then the force between the particles can be calculated. An example of the use of the plateau modulus for emulsions is given by Sanchez et al [33].
