Compared to the significant body of work devoted to surface engineering for promoting dropwise condensation heat transfer of steam, much less attention has been dedicated to fluids with lower interfacial tension. A vast array of low-surface tension fluids such as hydrocarbons, cryogens, and fluorinated refrigerants are used in a number of industrial applications, and the development of passive ...
Direct molecular dynamics simulations of the liquid-liquid interface of water-n-alkane and water-methanol-n-alkane systems have been performed in order to study the interfacial properties of these systems. The simulations were carried out using the NERD revised force field of Nath et al. for the n-alkanes, the simple point charge extended model for water, and the optimized potential for liquid ...
When particles adsorb at a fluid/fluid interface at a sufficiently high concentration, the interface loses mobility and displays solidlike characteristics, a phenomenon called "interfacial jamming". Jamming can arrest interfacial tension-driven morphological coarsening in liquid/liquid or gas/liquid systems and therefore stabilize two phase morphologies with unusual interfacial shapes, for exam...
A model is presented suggesting the interaction of CO(2) and bicarbonate on lipids of the cell membrane. The interfacial tensions between water and oil (benzene) phases were measured using the stalagmometer and the sessile drop methods. Effects of electrolyte solutions and of CO(2) on molecular arrangement at the interface were calculated. Chloride solutions against oleic acid in benzene produc...
Ferula gumosa Boiss is one of the natural plants of Iran whose exudates (Barijeh) can be used in food industry. In the present study the properties of the gum extracted from tubers of Ferula gumosa were examined. For this purpose, gum was extracted from crude exudates by alcoholic extraction with 90% (v/v) ethanol. The purity of gum was relatively high, and it was composed mostly ...
The test-area (TA) perturbation approach has been gaining popularity as a methodology for the direct computation of the interfacial tension in molecular simulation. Though originally implemented for planar interfaces, the TA approach has also been used to analyze the interfacial properties of curved liquid interfaces. Here, we provide an interpretation of the TA method taking the view that it c...
Dispersion of oil into water using lecithin-Tween 80 blends: The role of spontaneous emulsification.
Lecithin-rich mixtures of the nontoxic surfactants lecithin and Tween 80 are effective marine oil spill dispersants, but produce much higher oil-water interfacial tension than other, comparably effective dispersants. This suggests interfacial phenomena other than interfacial tension influence lecithin-Tween 80 dispersants' effectiveness. The interface between seawater and dispersant-crude oil m...
Cadherins are transmembrane proteins that mediate cell-cell adhesion in animals. By regulating contact formation and stability, cadherins play a crucial role in tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis. Here, we review the three major functions of cadherins in cell-cell contact formation and stability. Two of those functions lead to a decrease in interfacial tension at the forming cell-cell contact...
We studied the interfacial tension between coexisting phases of aqueous solutions of dextran and polyethylene glycol. First, we characterized the phase diagram of the system and located the binodal. Second, the tie lines between the coexisting phases were determined using a method that only requires measuring the density of the coexisting phases. The interfacial tension was then measured by a s...
