Colloids and surfaces

In everyday life, reactions and changes are observed that are dependent on the structures of the involved matter (which may be solids, liquids, or gases). However, in many industrial (chemical industry and technology) and natural biological phenomena, it is found that some processes require a more detailed definition of matter. Matter exists as

Some mention should be made of perhaps the major topic of conversation among surface and colloid chemists during the period 1966-1973. Some initial observations were made by Shereshefsky and co-workers on the vapor pressure of water in small capillaries (anomalously low) [119] but especially by Fedyakin in 1962, followed closely by a series of papers by I>eijaguin and co-workers (see Ref. 120 for a detailed bibliography up to 1970-1971).

Classical surface and colloid chemistry generally treats systems experimentally in a statistical fashion, with phenomenological theories that are applicable only to building simplified microstructural models. In recent years scientists have learned not only to observe individual atoms or molecules but also to manipulate them with subangstrom precision. The characterization of surfaces and interfaces on nanoscopic and mesoscopic length scales is important both for a basic understanding of colloidal phenomena and for the creation and mastery of a multitude of industrial applications.

From my work in surface and colloid chemistry, I was aware of the energetics and mechanics of wetting and spreading. It followed that cis-compounds with their greater entropy of fusion and flexibility must always spread better and stay tackier on the surface under a given set of conditions. I discussed this with Dr. Mark during an afternoon stroll in 1951. He agreed and also pointed out that cis-chains with their more...
