Phase Behavior and Structure of Binary Hard-Sphere Mixtures

By integrating out the degrees of freedom of the small spheres in a binary mixture of large and small hard spheres, we derive an explicit effective Hamiltonian for the large spheres. Using the two-body (depletion potential) contribution to this effective Hamiltonian in simulations, we find stable fluid-solid and both metastable fluid-fluid and solid-solid coexistence in a mixture with size rati...

Bulk and adsorbed monolayer phase behavior of binary mixtures of undecanoic acid and undecylamine: catanionic monolayers.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) have been used to determine the phase behavior of the binary mixtures of undecanoic acid (A) and undecylamine (B) in the bulk. In addition, we report DSC data that indicates very similar behavior for the solid monolayers of these materials adsorbed on the surface of graphite. The two species are found to form a series o...

Compressibility of electrospun fiber mats

Compressive properties of electrospun fiber mats are reported for the first time. Mats of bisphenol-A polysulfone (PSU) and of poly(trimethyl hexamethylene terephthalamide) (PA 6(3)T) were electrospun and annealed at a range of temperatures spanning the glass transition temperature of each polymer. The data for applied stress versus mat solidity were found to be well-described by a power law of...

Theoretical Model and Phase Behavior for Binary Surfactant Mixtures I ~

A new model for micellization beha..-ior of binary surfactant mixtures in solution is presented. A packing parameter, P* , has been introduced to describe the nonrandom mixing in mixed micelles. The significant feature of this model is that it considers asymmetric behavior ofmicellization in binary surfactant mixtures and predict5 the changes in the structures of mixed micelles with concentrati...
