The results have been compared with those expected theoretically on the basis of the DLVO theory. The forces obtained at distances of less than 50 A are much greater than those predicted by the theory and the additional force appears to arise from solvation effects in the thin liquid film between the particles. This has been confirmed by carrying out measurements in the presence of a non-ionic surface-active agent, a known stabilizing agent, where the repulsive forces due to solvation are enhanced.","PeriodicalId":341426,"journal":{"name":"Special Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126271332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to this theory the fatty acid molecules and solvent molecules are arranged in layered structures similar to those in smectic mesophases. A simplified method for calculating the attractive energy between two such layers is described. The fatty acid molecules are assumed to behave as hard rods of constant electric polarizability and diamagnetic susceptibility. A potential describing the interaction between two rods is derived and used in a lattice sum calculation to compute the total energy of interaction of two layers as a function of average separation of molecules within a layer, relative position of the two layers and the distance between layers. Calculation of frictional force and coefficient of friction by means of this model show good agreement with a similar calculation of Cameron if the proper assumption about the relative magnitude of energy as a function of relative position is made.","PeriodicalId":341426,"journal":{"name":"Special Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123906594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solid used was mica, chosen because of its near perfect cleavage and ideal bulk properties. Solid/vapour and solid/liquid interfacial energies, γSV and γSL, were measured by cleaving specimens in the form of strips, first, in an atmosphere of the vapour and then with the specimens completely immersed in the corresponding liquid. Samples of mica coated with monomolecular films of fatty acids were constructed in such a way that separation took place between the oppositely oriented films. Polar and non-polar liquids and vapours were used in these experiments. The results allow an investigation into the validity of Young's equation for contact angles which are zero or positive. For well-behaved systems in which no adsorption takes place during the cleavage, the relation is valid. For fatty acid films in an aqueous environment, it is necessary to introduce an additional term into the relation to preserve the equality, thus γSL=γSV–γLV cos θ+γH·. The energy γH has been associated with entropic effects occurring in the liquid phase. Its existence shows that there are measurable anisotropies in the water. The results can be explained if a single layer of the water in the immediate vicinity of the hydrophobic interface, is assumed to become preferentially oriented.Model-building experiments have been used to estimate the number of water molecules involved in the interaction and a value of 213 cal/mol of oriented water was obtained for the energy involved. This allows one to predict values for the free energy of solution of small hydrophobic molecules in water, which are in good agreement with those of Frank and Evans. The effect disappears in a concentrated solution of urea indicating that the structure of the liquid near the interface is, in this case, effectively the same as it is in bulk, i.e., the urea has caused a breakdown in the ordered structure in the neighbourhood of the interface. This is consistent with current views of the denaturant action of urea on proteins and other bimolecules.","PeriodicalId":341426,"journal":{"name":"Special Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122252910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measurements of the cross-sectional profile of such aureoles are reported and provide the basis for an interpretation in terms of surface tension changes accompanying the contraction of the film which is complete in less than a millisecond. The surface tension of sodium dodecyl sulphate solution decreases to below 15 mN/m (dyn/cm) under these conditions. As desorption is negligible, the data can be interpreted in terms of an extension of surface pressure-area per molecule curves towards high pressures and low areas. This extension shows an unexpected decrease of slope at low areas and indicates a rapid increase in intermolecular attractions as the surfactant ions become crowded on the surface.","PeriodicalId":341426,"journal":{"name":"Special Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134274518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting large change in film thickness is found to be due to exchange of water between film and atmosphere, and not to expansion or contraction of the film. Pseudo-equilibrium films of widely varying thickness can be formed by means of this process. For a film with a sufficiently large area, the thickness of an element far from the border is determined by the water vapour pressure equilibrium rather than by the disjoining pressure equilibrium. The thickness profile of a large, vertical film in a state of apparent rest is explained on the basis of the different time scales associated with the various equilibrium processes.","PeriodicalId":341426,"journal":{"name":"Special Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115691511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two mineral oils and one synthetic diester were used as lubricants. The minimum film thicknesses ranged down to approximately 10 nm (100 A), and agreed approximately with the predictions of an isothermal Newtonian theory in which the viscosity of the lubricant, measured in bulk, was used. Of the four sets of results examined, only one, that for the di-ester, gave measured film thicknesses greater than the theoretical ones. The discrepancy of 13 % is probably within the systematic errors of the experiment and of the theory. With this exception, there was therefore no evidence that the viscosity of the lubricant was affected by the close proximity of the metal surfaces. The maximum shear rate in these experiments was of the order of 107 s–1, i.e., several orders of magnitude greater than those obtaining in other experiments reported in the literature, in which the viscosity of a fluid was increased by the presence of the surfaces.","PeriodicalId":341426,"journal":{"name":"Special Discussions of The Faraday Society","volume":"35 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114622922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
