Physical-Chemical Mechanics of Disperse Systems and Materials (Progress in Colloid and Interface Science Book 6)

Physical-Chemical Mechanics of Disperse Systems and Materials is a novel interdisciplinary area in the science of the disperse state of matter. It covers the broad spectrum of objects and systems with dimensions ranging from nanometers to millimeters and establishes a fundamental basis for controlling and tuning the properties of these systems as w Content: COAGULATION CONTACTS AND STRUCTURESSurface Forces and Contact InteractionsPhysical-Chemical Phenomena at InterfacesThermodynamic Characteristics of a Contact between ParticlesContact Interactions between Solid Surfaces of Different Nature in Various Liquid MediaReferencesAdsorption of Surfactants and Contact InteractionsAdsorption Phenomena at InterfacesMechanisms of Surfactant Behavior at Different InterfacesContact Interactions in the Presence of Surfactants: The Role of Surfactant AdsorptionReferencesCoagulation StructuresPrinciples of RheologyRheological Properties of Coagulation StructuresReferencesContact Interactions and the Stability of Free-Disperse SystemsKey Factors Governing the Stability of Free-Disperse SystemsRehbinder's Lyophilic Structural-Mechanical Barrier as a Factor of Strong Colloid StabilityConditions of Spontaneous Dispersion and the Formation of Stable Colloid SystemContact Interactions and the Stability of Sols Formed with Phases of Different NatureReferencesSURFACE PHENOMENA IN STRUCTURES THAT HAVE PHASE CONTACTS AND ARE IN CONTINUOUS SOLID BODIESDeformation and Degradation of Solid Bodies and Materials: Description and MeasurementsForces and Deformations in a Uniform Stressed StateHeterogeneous Stressed State: Durability and FatigueMechanical TestingDetermination of the Structure-Rheological CharacteristicsReferencesStructures with Phase ContactsPhase Contacts between Particles in Disperse StructuresMechanisms of the Formation of Contacts and of the Development of Internal StressesReferencesInterfacial Phenomena in Processes of Deformation and Failure of SolidsInfluence of an Active Medium on the Mechanical Properties of Solids: The Rehbinder EffectInfluence of a Surface-Active Medium on the Mechanical Stability of the Surface of a Solid Surface DamageabilityRehbinder Effect in Nature and TechnologyReferences
