Surface physical chemistry

Surface studies of insoluble monolayers of all the common unconjugated bile acids, including the unsubstituted cholanoic acid, have been carried out by a number of workers and thoroughly reviewed [5]. Being insoluble non-swelling amphiphiles with limited aqueous solubility, their surface pressure-area (v-A) isotherms can be measured satisfactorily with a Langmuir-Pockels surface balance on an aqueous subphase containing 3-6 M NaCl to salt out polar functions and at sufficient acidic pH (1-3) to prevent ionization [5,6). 

Surface tensions of the soluble alkali salt of di- and tri-hydroxy bile salts have been widely employed [5,11,12,33,70-74] to measure CMCs of bile salts (see Section VI.l). Employing Gibbs adsorption isotherm equation and the steep slope of the experimental surface tension versus bile salt concentration curve, the surface excess, i.e. concentration of bile salt molecules/cn of interface, can be calculated accurately in high bulk ionic strength [12,70], Using this value and Avogadro s number, the area per molecule at the interface can be calculated [6]. These values (Table 3b),

We attempt to delineate between surface physical chemistry and surface chemical physics and solid-state physics of surfaces. We exclude these last two subjects, which are largely wave mechanical in nature and can be highly mathematical they properly form a discipline of their own. 

We also attempt to distinguish between surface physical chemistry and colloid and polymer physical chemistry. This distinction is not always possible, and clearly many of the features of physical chemistry of surfaces, such as the electrostatic interactions and adsorption of macromolecules, have a significant... 

Clearly, the physical chemistry of surfaces covers a wide range of topics. Most of these subjects are sampled in this book, with emphasis on fundamentals and important theoretical models. With each topic there is annotation of current literature with citations often chosen because they contain bibliographies that will provide detailed source material. We aim to whet the reader s appetite for surface physical chemistry and to provide the tools for basic understanding of these challenging and interesting problems.

Insoluble monolayers may also exist at water-air as well as water-oil interfaces. In general, a monolayer of the same material tends to be more expanded at the water-oil interface than at the water-air interface, and usually it is recognized that a condensed mono-layer forms at the water-air interface whereas it sometimes becomes gaseous at the water-oil interface. In summary, investigation of the basic principles of monolayer formation is a requisite in surface physical chemistry. We will start by defining the spreading concept in section 5.6.1, then explaining the experimental methods in section 5.6.2. 

Previous studies have indicated that no hydrodynamic lubrication occurs during CMP.28 3la There is always a physical contact between the wafer and the polishing pad asperities. In the following section, we will see that there is enough evidence to prove interactions between a wafer and a pad. The boundary lubrication associated with tribochemical interactions plays a dominant role. In order to understand the mechanisms of boundary lubrication in CMP, the physical, electrochemical, and mechanical processes of interfaces must be considered. The mechanisms can be classified into the following categories based on the surface physical chemistry of materials involved during CMP.
