The present study characterizes the dynamic interfacial properties of calf lung surfactant (CLS) and samples reconstituted in a stepwise fashion from phospholipid (PL), hydrophobic apoprotein (HA), surfactant apoprotein A (SP-A), and neutral lipid fractions. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), the major PL component of surfactant, was examined for comparison. Surface tension was measured ove...
Molecular dynamics simulations in slab geometry and surface tension measurements were performed for aqueous solutions of magnesium acetate and magnesium nitrate at various concentrations. The simulations reveal a strong affinity of acetate anions for the surface, while nitrate exhibits only a very weak surface propensity, and magnesium is per se strongly repelled from the air/water interface. C...
We employ a continuous theory of two-phase flow to investigate the influence of grain boundary tension on distribution and migration of melts through a viscous matrix. The ‘disaggregation melt fraction’, the volume fraction of partial melt at which grain boundaries are completely wetted, is crucial in determining the total interfacial force per unit volume. In partially molten aggregates with s...
We investigate the hydrogen bonding percolation threshold of water molecules at the surface of the liquid-vapor interface. We show that the percolation temperature agrees within statistical accuracy with the high-temperature inflection point of the water surface tension. We associate the origin of this surface tension anomaly of water with the sudden breakup of the hydrogen-bonding network in t...
In experiments involving dip coating flows on an infinite flat substrate which is withdrawn from an infinite liquid bath, the thin film deposited far up on the plate usually thickens in the presence of insoluble interfacial surfactant. Using perturbation analysis within the lubrication approximation we prove that the film thickens in the presence of interfacial surfactant for low capillary numb...
The effect of soluble surfactants on the unsteady motion and deformation of a bubble rising in an otherwise quiescent liquid contained in an axisymmetric tube is computationally studied by using a finite-difference/front-tracking method. The unsteady incompressible flow equations are solved fully coupled with the evolution equations of bulk and interfacial surfactant concentrations. The surface...
In this paper we use molecular dynamics to answer a classical question: how does the surface tension on a liquid/gas interface appear? After defining surface tension from the first principles and performing several consistency checks, we perform a dynamic experiment with a single simple liquid nanodroplet. At time zero, we remove all molecules of the interfacial layer, creating a fresh bare int...
The dynamics of surfactin, a lipopeptide surfactant from Bacillus subtilis, has been studied by molecular dynamics at different interfacial concentrations in a water-hexane medium reproducing a hydrophilic/hydrophobic biphasic system. The shapes and orientations of surfactin molecules, as hydrogen bonds and Ramachandran angles, have been recorded to investigate the environment effect on the mol...
Since the discovery of microemulsions, they have attained increasing significance both in basic research and in industry. Due to their unique properties, namely, ultralow interfacial tension, large interfacial area, thermodynamic stability and the ability to solubilize otherwise immiscible liquids, uses and applications of microemulsions have been numerous. The objective of this review is to pr...
cell within each layer, while a heat flux from below produces a smaller scale turbulent motion. The interfacial phenomena described here are also somewhat similar to the "interfacial turbulence" observed by chemical engineers during the process of solvent extraction (Sherwood and Wei4), but the mechanisms are quite different. All their observations relate to the boundary between immiscible solv...
