Microscopic Physics of Electrical Double Layers
… layer plays a central role in many fields in science and engineering, including colloid science, electrochemistry, biology, membrane science, and tribology. Across these fields, mathematical models of the double layer have been used to analyze and predict the behavior of electrochemical …

A study of hydrophobic interaction in fine particle coagulation
A stability theory for lyophobic colloids was put forth in the 1940’s by Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek. This theory, known as DLVO theory, has gone through the test of time and survived as a pillar of colloid science. In the present work, this theory has been used for describing the …

Motion of Janus and Patchy Particles Near Various Boundaries
<p>Colloidal particles with anisotropic surface properties are an emergent class of novel materials that have been indicated to possess a remarkable potential to still be fully exploited. Among anisotropic colloids, Janus and patchy particles with different compositions and functionalities recently …

Direct Force Measurements on the Colloidal Scale: From Modified Electrodes to Particle Manipulation
… of thin films have been studied by the colloidal probe technique. One central point is the combination of direct force measurements with an electrochemical setup in order to tune interfacial properties of an electrode modified with an organic layer. In particular the adhesion and ion …

Investigations of the Role of Triglycerides in Synthetic Colloidal Systems
… the behavior of triglycerides (TGs) in colloidal systems. TGs are glycerolipids with three strongly hydrophobic tails, generally thought of as oils. The tails are connected via a glycerol backbone, however, which is somewhat polar. This structure them unique properties compared to PLs, …

Wax Anti-Settling Additives
Wax anti-settling additives (WASA) are used to mitigate against the problems caused by the settling of n-alkane wax crystals, which crystallise from petroleum diesel. This can result in the blocking of fuel filters and hence vehicle failure. However, the mode of action for such additives is not …
