Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquid films having dimensions that are relatively small in the direction normal to their surface are commonly referred to as thin liquid films. Due to their prevalence in nature and due to their unique geometrical characteristics, a comprehensive understanding of thin film dynamics including instabilities and break-up within thin liquid films is of fundamental and practical interest. Practically this understanding is crucial to tuning the stability thin films in a number of important applications such as for stabilizing foams in foods and beverages, destabilizing foams in lubricants, avoiding surface irregularities in liquid coatings and treating ophthalmic disorders originating from the unnatural breakup of the tear film. Fundamentally, the microscopic thickness of these liquid films along with their large surface to volume ratio presents a convenient framework to investigate characteristics of two dimensional flows, and probe the effects of surface phenomenon such as evaporation and surfactant dynamics on fluid flows. Motivated by the importance of thin liquid films, in this thesis, we experimentally investigate the instabilities and break-up within thin liquid films. In the first part of the thesis (Chapters 2 - 4), we develop and optimize experimental tools and protocols for systematically studying thin liquid films. Notably, we show that single bubble/drop experiments are a convenient and complementary technique to study the dynamics of thin liquid films. Subsequently, we detail a new technique for automatically and robustly measuring the spatiotemporal thickness of thin liquid films - hyperspectral interferometry coupled with machine learning. Finally, we will also establish the operating regimes within which the size of bubbles formed on capillaries for single bubble experiments can be precisely controlled to avoid an air compressibility driven shape instabilities. In the subsequent parts of the thesis we utilize the developed tools to study four different problems - Bubble stability in worm like micellar (WLM) polymer solutions (Chapter 5), Lubricant foaming (Chapters 6 - 8), Drying of thin polymer films (Chapter 9) and Dewetting of the tear film (Chapter 10). In Chapter 5, we explore a problem relevant for the cosmetic industry, and characterize the drainage characteristics of thin films between bubbles and flat wormlike micellar solution - air interfaces. The supramolecular structure and elasticity of the wormlike micelles alters the dynamics of film drainage in WLM as compared to those in thin films containing pure surfactants. The unique features of film drainage include film elasticity driven 'dimple recoil' and a single step transition to a Newton black film beyond a critical film thickness. In Chapters 6 - 8, we explore a problem relevant for the lubricant industry, and study the stability of thin liquid films in lubricants with and without antifoams. Utilizing single bubble experiments, we reveal that the stability of thin films between bubbles in lubricant base oils are enhanced by Marangoni flows driven by the differential evaporation of the various components in the oil. Fundamentally, we also show that the spatiotemporal characteristics of these Marangoni flows are regulated by the concentration and volatility of the volatile species in the oil. Interestingly when the concentration of the volatile species approaches 50%, evaporation driven Marangoni flows become chaotic, with disordered spatial structure, chaotic fluctuations, spatially invariant mean film thickness statistics, high sensitivity to initial conditions, rapidly decaying spatial correlation and a power spectrum for thickness fluctuation that obeys a power law scaling that closely resembles the Kolmogorov's -5/3rd scaling. In the presence of filtered lubricants with antifoams, we reveal that the stability of thin films are positively correlated to the number of filtration cycles, and inversely correlated to the nominal filter pore size and the initial antifoam concentration. In Chapter 9 we explore a problem relevant for film coating, and study the drying of aqueous polymer solutions. Depending on the polymer concentration and the polymer diffusivities, we show that a classical Rayleigh-Taylor instability can develop within the drying solution. We also present the scaling laws describing the onset time of the instability as a function of the physical properties and initial polymer concentrations of the solutions. In Chapter 10 we report a platform to characterize the thickness of the tear film in vivo. By qualitatively comparing the dewetting characteristics observed in vivo with in vitro experiments, we will show that the mechanisms of dewetting is influenced by the presence of interfacial rheology. Further we also reveal that the spatial locations that are prone to dewetting are determined by the presence of interfacial rheology and the spatiotemporal drainage characteristics of the tear film. In Chapter 11 we summarize the findings in this thesis and discuss a number of interesting venues for future research.

Download or read book Fluid Mechanics of Surfactant and Polymer Solutions written by Victor Starov and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colloidal systems and dispersions are of great importance in oil recovery, waist water treatment, coating, food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical industry, medicine, environmental protection etc. Colloidal systems and dispersions are always multi-component and multiphase systems. In these systems at least one dimension is in a range of colloidal forces action: colloidal dispersions/emulsions are examples of three dimensional colloidal systems, while thin liquid films are examples of one dimensional colloidal systems. The contribution presented in this issue deals with flow, distribution and redistribution, coating and deposition of surfactant and polymer molecules in colloidal systems. The book presents reviews of recent advances and trends by well-know scientists and engineers in this area.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing. house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 25 (thesis year 1980) a total of 10,308 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 214 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 25 reports theses submitted in 1980, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book excerpt: Surfactants... today you have probably eaten some, or rubbed others on your body. Plants, animals (including you) and microorganisms make them, and many everyday products (e.g. detergents, cosmetics, foodstuffs) contain them. Surfactant molecules have one part which is soluble in water and another which is not. This gives surfactant molecules two valuable properties: 1) they adsorb at surfaces (e.g. of an oil droplet in water), and 2) they stick together (aggregate) in water. The aggregates (micelles) are able to dissolve materials not soluble in water alone, and adsorbed surfactant layers, at the surfaces of particles or (say) oil droplets in water, stop the particles or drops sticking together. This is why stable emulsions such as milk do not separate into layers. This book treats the basic physical chemistry and physics underlying the behaviour of surfactant systems. In this book, you will first learn about some background material including hydrophobic hydration, interfacial tension and capillarity (Section I). Discussion of surfactant adsorption at liquid/fluid and solid/liquid interfaces is given in Section II, and includes thermodynamics of adsorption, dynamic and rheological aspects of liquid interfaces and the direct characterisation of surfactant monolayers. In Section III, a description is given of surfactant aggregation to give micelles, lyotropic liquid crystals, microemulsions and Winsor systems. There follows a discussion of surface forces and the way they confer stability on lyophobic colloids and thin liquid films (Section IV). Various dispersions stabilised by adsorbed surfactant or polymer (including solid in liquid dispersions, emulsions and foams) are considered in Section V. The wetting of solids and liquids is explored in Section VI. Like surfactants, small solid particles can adsorb at liquid/fluid interfaces, form monolayers and stabilise emulsions and foams. Such behaviour is covered in Section VII. It is assumed the reader has a knowledge of undergraduate physical chemistry, particularly chemical thermodynamics, and of simple physics. Mathematics (elementary algebra and calculus) is kept at a level consistent with the straightforward derivation of many of the equations presented.
