Physical chemistry: colloids and surfaces

Physical chemistry is based of mathematics to prove the concepts, to

analyse the experiments, to understand the phenomena.

� Various models will be presented, various solutions will requireformula, and will support specific applications.

� Colloids and surfaces are interdisciplinary domains: where physics,chemistry, biology and technology meet

What are colloids and interfaces?

Colloids:

o Colloid (disperse phase) = a dispersion of droplets/particles of onematerial in another material, that does not settle out under gravity.

medium« particle » + medium« particle » +

Colloid

o Colloid particles = size or one of the key dimensions = 1nm up to 1 µm.

oExceptions: larger particles : 10 up to 50 µm

Scales in colloid systems and interfaces

What are interfaces?

Surfaces/interfaces:

o Surface or interface = dividing lines/borders between two differentphases.

oSurfaces/interfaces have a certain thickness – the order of moleculardiameter

Clasification of colloids

b. According to the stability of the disperse phase and medium:

- Colloid dispersions – TD instable

- Association colloids – TD stable

- Complex colloids – complex TD stability/instability

c. According to the relation between the disperse phase and the medium:

-Lyophobic colloids (solvent hating)

TD unstableTD unstable

-Lyophilic colloids (solvent attracting)

Clasification of colloidsc. According to the relation between the disperse phase and water:

- Hydrophobic colloids (water hating): TD unstable

- Hydrophilic colloids (water attracting): TD stable

-Amphiphilic colloids:

-Surfaces are hydrophilic and hydrophobic as well.

Key properties of colloids

� Colloids are based on minimum 2 components: disperse phase

(droplets, particles) and continuous phase (medium)

�Size of colloidal particles: > 1 nm up to 10 µm

�Disperse phase has a very large surface area-to-volume ratio

�The energy of the interparticle interactions ∼ kBT

�Many colloids have a non-transparent appearance (milky)

Shapes of colloids

Preparation methods

� Colloids are prepared by a variety opf methods depending on the physical

state of the disperse phase and of the medium.

-grinding and milling methods

-Precipitation or the reduction of the solubility of a substance

- sneezing methods

-shaking methods

-- tearing apart a spray of liquid with as jet of air
