Multilayer Adsorption of Polyatomic Species on Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work we study the multilayer adsorption of polyatomic species on homogeneous and heterogeneous bivariate surfaces. A new approximate analytic isotherm is obtained and validated by comparing with Monte Carlo simulation. Then, we use the well-known Brunauer-Emmet-Teller’s (BET) approach to analyze these isotherms and to estimate the monolayer volume, vm. The results show that the value of the vm obtained in this way depends strongly on adsorbate size and surface topography. In all cases, we find that the use of the BET equation leads to an underestimate of the true monolayer capacity.

Contact angles of surfactant solutions on heterogeneous surfaces.
Using Gibbs' adsorption equation and a literature isotherm, a new general model to predict the contact angle of surfactant solutions on (smooth or rough) chemically heterogeneous surfaces is constructed based on the Cassie equation. The model allows for adsorption at the liquid-vapor, solid-liquid, and solid-vapor interfaces. Solid-vapor adsorption is allowed in order to model the autophobic ef...

The modified triangular-well potential model was applied to incorporate the effect of surface energy on the adsorption of particles or proteins on energetically heterogeneous surfaces. The method is convenient in simulating the adsorption on heterogeneous surface of which different region possesses different free energy. Spherical particles with attractive forces were added on the surface and u...
