Surface rugosity

For instance, a high porosity can increase the extent of adsorption of certain molecules, but at the same time, the internal surface of the pores is not fully irradiated so that the density of photoproduced active species inside the pores can be lower than on the external surface. Photons are not only absorbed but also reflected and scattered by the semiconducting particles, whether they are in the form of powders or films. Consequently, the texture, surface rugosity, and agglomeration of particles affect the fraction of photons that are absorbed and therefore are potentially useful for photocatalytic chemical transformations. In addition, scattering depends on the refractive index of the medium and is therefore very different depending on whether Ti02 is exposed to air or liquid water. 

Adsorption of glidant particles to granulation surfaces in such a way that friction between particles and surface rugosity are minimized.

The flow properties of a powder can be enhanced by the inclusion of a glidant. These are added to overcome powder cohesiveness by interposing between particles to reduce surface rugosity, thus preventing interlocking of particles and lowering the interparticulate friction. Commonly used glidants are listed in Table 11.7. 

Zisman(18) measured the critical surface tension, 7c< of a number of different metal and oxide surfaces which were exposed to atmospheres with controlled humidity. It was found that yc for all substrates was lowered to —45 mJ m at 0.6% r.h. and to —37 mJ m at 95% r.h. Gledhill et a/.(19) extended this work to the wettability of mild steel substrates of different surface rugosities and deduced the value of -ysv as a function of relative humidity (Fig. 3.5). Further, the enhanced wetting of gritblasted steel at low humidities was reflected directly in higher joint strengths. Hence...

Due to surface rugosity, two steel surfaces sliding on each other in a non-lubricated pin-on disk contact only touch at the asperities. It has been proposed (ref. [10], Chapter 10) that the instantaneous temperature at the asperities linst can be estimated from the approximate formula ... 

A new feature of the solutions for cyclic conditions Is the partial re-emergence of the surface rugosities at Instants when entraining action is very small and squeeze-film action predominates. 

Figure 2 shows a small portion of the interfacial region as a liquid (adhesive) is brought into contact with a solid substrate. Certain factors hinder bond formation, whereas others promote it. Barriers include (1) surface rugosity, (2) species adsorbed on the solid before bonding, (3) air entrapped in micropockets between the liquid and solid, (4) surface tension of the liquid and its bulk viscosity arising from cohesive forces among liquid molecules. Fac-... 

Professor D Dowson (Institute of Tribology, School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK). In your representation of the lambda ratio you use the square root of the sum of the squares of the Ra or r.m.s.values for the two surfaces. How do you deal with worn or damaged surfaces where the surface rugosities may not present a Gaussian distribution ... 

Schematically, Figure 1 shows two real materials, say A and B, that are composed of molecular components ai and bi, respectively. These are located in the bulk (aib, bib), at the surface (aig, big), and/or within the near surface region (ain, bin). Upon contacting A and B under ambient conditions, the interface, defined as the locus of interactions between tbe two materials, initially involves tbe surface species on each and any entrapped air. In general, the interface will not be continuous at first. Entrapped air and surface rugosity prevent immediate, full molecular contact, although applied pressure can speed interface formation.
