Volmer equation generalised

For n-A isotherms of insoluble monolayes of amphiphilic molecules, assuming the association or dissociation of these molecules in the surface layer, a generalised Volmer equation was derived (based on Butler s and Gibbs equations33 35), which has the form... 

Assuming that, according to the quasi-chemical aggregation model [97], mixed aggregates are formed, one can transform the generalised Volmer equation (2.159) into... 

The generalised Volmer equation (2.159) is the basis for the theoretic analysis of the behaviour of insoluble monolayers. The equation of state for insoluble monolayers with a bimodal distribution (large clusters and monomers or small aggregates) was derived in [25-27]... 

We start this book with a chapter (Chapter 2) on the fundamentals of pure component equilibria. Results of this chapter are mainly applicable to ideal solids or surfaces, and rarely applied to real solids. Langmuir equation is the most celebrated equation, and therefore is the cornerstone of all theories of adsorption and is dealt with first. To generalise the fundamental theory for ideal solids, the Gibbs approach is introduced, and from which many fundamental isotherm equations, such as Volmer, Fowler-Guggenheim, Hill-de Boer, Jura-Harkins can be derived. A recent equation introduced by Nitta and co-workers is presented to allow for the multi-site adsorption. We finally close this chapter by presenting the vacancy solution theory of Danner and co-workers. The results of Chapter 2 are used as a basis for the...
