Lifetime of Newton black films. A mean field analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a mean field approximation we calculate the lifetime of thermotlynamically unstable bilayers of a specific initial conformation in the Witlom mortel of microemulsions. For itlentical initial conformations of these mode[ bilayers, we study the tlepentlence of the lifetime on the initial magnetization of the central layer, the temperature. antl the elastic curvature of the amphiphilic membrane.

Adhesive transitions in Newton black films: a computer simulation study.
We report molecular dynamics simulations of Newton black films (NBFs), ultra thin films of aqueous solutions stabilized with two monolayers of ionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate. We show that at low water content conditions and areas per surfactant corresponding to experimental estimates in NBFs, homogeneous films undergo an adhesion "transition," which results in a very thin adhesive fi...
متن کاملSlow dynamics of water confined in Newton black films.
Slowdown of translational and reorientational dynamics of water confined in Newton black films (NBFs) is revealed by molecular dynamics simulations. As a film becomes thinner, both translational and reorientational dynamics become slower. The polarization of water molecules in the macroscopic electrostatic field across the NBF and the coordination of Na(+) ions and surfactant anionic groups aro...
متن کاملComparison between Interaction Forces at Air/Liquid and Solid/Liquid Interfaces in the Presence of Non-Ionic Surfactants
Interactions in thin liquid foam films and between solid/liquid surfaces coated with the non-ionic surfactant hexaoxyethylene dodecylether (C12E6) were investigated with a TFPB (thin film pressure balance) and the MASIF (Measurement and Analysis of Surface Interaction Forces) technique, respectively. For foam films the formation of common black films (CBF) and Newton black films (NBF) was obser...
متن کاملAnomalous dielectric behavior of water in ionic newton black films.
The electrostatics of two charged surfactant layers in aqueous media (surfactant/water/surfactant films) is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. In the films studied (with a surfactant-surfactant distance from approximately 35 A to contact) we observe an anomalous dielectric response of water. The electrostatic potential phi(z) inside the aqueous core of the films (containing bulk...
متن کاملComment on "Stability of soap films: hysteresis and nucleation of black films".
We study the stability of soap films of a nonionic surfactant under different applied capillary pressures on the film. Depending on the pressure, either a thick common black film (CBF), or a micro-scopically thin Newton black film (NBF) is formed as a (metastable) equilibrium state, with a first-order (discontinuous) transition between the two. Studying the dynamics of the CBF-NBF transition, i...
