Book Understanding the Adsorption at Solid Liquid Interface and Its Consequences on Interfacial Phenomena

Download or read book Understanding the Adsorption at Solid Liquid Interface and Its Consequences on Interfacial Phenomena written by Nishad Dhopatkar and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical adsorption at solid-liquid interface is an effective way to dynamically alter the surface properties text/italics{in-situ} and is prevalent in biology, geoscience, biotechnology, catalysis, food processing, agriculture, textiles, coatings, adhesives and lubricants, and cosmetics Over the last century an extensive framework of the thermodynamics and kinetics of adsorption as well as the intermolecular forces that govern the physical interactions between the substrate, solute, and solvent has been established, helping elucidate the structure of adsorbates. However, there lacks an understanding of the connection between the local conformation of the adsorbed molecules and its influence on the macroscopic interfacial phenomena. In this research we have employed vibrational spectroscopy techniques namely the interface-selective non-linear sum frequency generation (SFG) and linear attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) in conjugation with contact mechanics to develop the molecular level insights into macroscopic phenomena of wetting, adhesion, and sliding friction. We study the interfacial structure of small molecules (surfactants and solvents) as well as macromolecules adsorbed on model surfaces of sapphire (aluminum oxide) and silicone dioxide. Using SFG, we discovered a strongly coordinated ice-like water layer confined between two charged surfaces, under hydration pressures, formed by the adsorption of a cationic surfactant (cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, CTAB) on dissimilar hydrophobic surfaces (phenylethyl trichlorosilane, PETS self-assembled monolayer, and polydimethylsiloxane elastomer, PDMS). This strongly coordinated water structure forms past the surfactant concentration needed for a monolayer surface coverage and is observed to reduce the sliding friction. Correlating interface-selective spectroscopy with hydration forces, and their macroscopic manifestation on adhesion and friction requires us to reconsider how we understand water under confinement and its significance in more complicated interfacial processes prevalent in biology, chemistry, and engineering. To investigate the adsorption of a basic polymer (PMMA) on acidic surfaces in carbon tetrachloride (neutral), Chloroform (acidic), and acetone (basic) solvents, we used SFG and ATR-FTIR to build on to the established concept of acid-base interactions that explains limited adsorption from basic and acidic solutions compared to neutral solution due to competitive interactions. We show that besides the differences in adsorbed amount, chains adsorbed from an acidic solvent adopt a flat conformation with a much smaller ratio of segments of loops and tails to trains compared to those adsorbed from a neutral solvent. Surface interaction parameters alone cannot predict the differences in conformation of chains adsorbed from acidic or neutral solvents. Such differences in the static and dynamic conformations have consequences in understanding the exchange kinetics, colloidal stabilization, chromatographic separations, adhesion and friction, and stabilization of nanocomposites. The adsorption of polyelectrolytes driven by Coulombic interactions becomes complicated when mixed with oppositely charged surfactant which modulates the net charge and solubility of polyelectrolytes in water resulting in a characteristic bulk phase diagram. We have investigated the adsorption from pre-mixed solutions of a cationic polysaccharide (PQ10) and the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), on an amphoteric alumina surface using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCMD). By tuning the surface charge of the amphoteric alumina, we confirmed the importance of electrostatic interactions on the adsorption on a hydrophilic charged surface, a suggestion that was made earlier solely based on the measurements on negatively charged surfaces. We also directly correlate the bulk phase transitions at the interface adsorption by observing a maximum extent of adsorption on both negatively and positively charged surfaces from a solution corresponding to the maximum turbidity. Using the Voight based viscoelastic model, QCMD also provided information on the viscosity, shear modulus, and thickness of the adsorbed polymeric complex, findings of which were corroborated by underwater atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. Shifting gears from adsorption to understanding the polymer thin films surface structure in different environments, we used SFG to observe the surface restructuring of an amphiphilic glassy homopolymer poly(alpha-hydroxy-n-butyl acrylate, PHNB) from hydrophobic to aqueous environment. We observed relative changes in ordering of hydrophobic and hydroxyl pendant groups upon going from air to water at different temperatures showing their impact on wetting of the polymer surface observed by means of dynamic contact angles measurement.

Book Adsorption From Solution

Download or read book Adsorption From Solution written by R. H. Ottewill and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adsorption From Solution discusses the significance of adsorption behavior in thermodynamic terms, with emphasis on the interplay between enthalpic and entropic contributions to the free energy. This book examines the role of simple models and of elementary thermodynamic and statistical mechanical arguments in relation to the concept of surface phase. Organized into 22 chapters, this book starts with an overview of the theoretical model for the solid/liquid interface. This text then proceeds with a discussion of the general thermodynamic treatment of adsorption from mixed solvents, which is designed to apply in situations where adsorbed species may be regarded as distinct from their bulk counterparts. Other chapters discuss the adsorption from solutions of various interfaces of liquid/gas, liquid/liquid, or liquid/solid. The final chapter deals with the roles of adsorption from solution in controlling other phenomena, such as liquid–liquid displacement, wetting, and the forces between colloidal particles. Physicists, chemists, and materials scientists will find this book extremely useful.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume addresses the use of FTIR spectroscopy in characterizing the molecular structure of aggregates such as micelles and bilayers, and in studying interfaces and surfaces modified by the presence of polymers and amphiphilic molecules. An overview chapter reviews the wide range of colloidal systems and interfaces that can be studied by FTIR spectroscopy. Subsequent chapters are divided into two sections that address colloidal aggregates and interfacial phenomena. The first section demonstrates how FTIR spectroscopy is used to obtain information about the intermolecular interactions that are critical to the integrity of micelles and bilayers. Section two focuses on the use of FTIR spectroscopy to study adsorption kinetics and the structure of film and layers on various substrates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of its kind, this book provides a valuable introduction for scientists and engineers interested in liquid/fluid interfaces and disperse systems to the rapidly developing area of adsorption dynamics. It is the first extensive review available on the subject of dynamics of adsorption and gives a general summary of the current state of adsorption kinetics theory and experiments. Current progress in recently designed set-ups and improved and generalised known methods for studying interfacial relaxations is reviewed. In addition, the role of the electric charge of surfactants in the adsorption process is discussed in terms of a non-equilibrium distribution of adsorbing ions in the diffuse layer.Present theories of the effect of dynamic adsorption layers on mobile surfaces, such as moving drops and bubbles, based on both diffusion and kinetic controlled adsorption models are described and efficient approximate analytical methods to solve the mathematical problem of coupling surfactant transport and hydrodynamics are introduced. The role of a dynamic adsorption layer in bubble rising, film drainage and film stabilisation and in complex processes such as flotation and microflotation is discussed.Containing more than 1100 references, the book is essential reading for industrial scientists and graduate and post-graduate students in physical, surface and colloid chemistry, physico-chemical hydrodynamics, water purification and mineral processing.
