Surface Tension of Charge-Stabilized Colloidal Suspensions at the Water−Air Interface

Abstract: In this paper, we show that the surface tension of charge-stabilized titania suspensions strongly depends on the particle concentration. The surface tension first decreases significantly with an increase in the weight percent and then increases with a further increase in the weight percent. Thermodynamic arguments are used to explain the initial decrease in the surface tension for lower particle concentrations. For higher concentrations, it is hypothesized that the capillary forces acting between the immersed … Show more

“…Therefore, part of the observed preferential accumulation of colloids is likely due to attraction of non-DLVO origin between the colloids and AWI. Although it has been suggested that capillary forces between particles at AWI can be neglected for particles with radii smaller than 3 µm [77,78], the possibility that the capillary phenomena contribute to particle attachment to AWI cannot be ruled out [14,32,[79][80][81][82]. Non-DLVO attachment of bacteria to AWI was observed by Schäfer et al [74] who reported that while accumulation of some strains of bacteria on AWI increased with increasing ionic strength, other strains did not show any dependence on ionic strength, or even exhibited the opposite tendency.…”

“…The increase of the concentration of the nonionic surfactant increases the migration of SiO 2 NPs towards the interface indicating that capillary force phenomenon is the causative factor of this increase in IFT (Dong and Johnson 2003). The location of the SiO 2 NPs at an interface causes a lateral manifestation of the capillary forces.…”

“…The adsorption of the SiO 2 NPs also modifies the entropy of these systems. As the SiO 2 NPs are transported to the interface, this movement will generate more space for the aqueous molecules and, consequently, the entropy of the brine-surfactant-SiO 2 nanofluid-oil system changes and undergoes an expansion (Dong and Johnson 2003). These phenomena serve as the catalyst for a decrease in the total free energy of the brine-surfactant-SiO 2 nanofluid-oil system (Defay and Prigoin 1966), which therefore induces the IFT of this system to decrease.…”
