Work of Adhesion and Cohesion


Consider a cylindrical column composed of two types of material, A and B. If we pull this
column apart and separate it into column A and column B, then the change in free energy
can be expressed as

A + B AB = WAB
A, B = Surface free energy per unit area for material A and B, respectively.
AB = Interfacial free energy per unit area between material A and B.
WAB = Work of adhesion (per unit area), which is the work required to separate
the two blocks of material.
A + B is the total surface free energy in the
final state (state 2), and AB accounts for the
interfacial energy between the two materials in
the initial state (state 1).
If materials A and B are the same, then AA =
BB = 0, and W AA = 2 A and W BB = 2 B
WAA (or WBB) is the work of cohesion. The
work of cohesion is simply the work required
to create two surfaces of the same material.

Surface Wetting vs. Adhesive and


Cohesive Forces
Adhesive forces > cohesive forces: At the liquid-solid surface interface, if the
molecules of the liquid have a stronger attraction to the molecules of the solid
surface than to each other wetting of the surface occurs.

Cohesive forces > adhesive forces: If the liquid molecules are more strongly
attracted to each other than the molecules of the solid surface the liquid beads-up
and does not wet the surface.

Surface tension and Contact angle


Definition: Surface or interfacial tension can be defined as the force needed to
oppose the natural pull of the molecules in the surface or interface to minimize
the size of that surface or interface.
Contact angle: The angle of contact
between the solid and liquid surface is
called contact angle
Net force is not zero
Net force is zero

Surface tension: Property of the interface between two phases


Contact angle: The edge of the two-phase boundary where it ends at a third
phase

The work done in extending the movable member
a distance dx is
Work = l dx = dA; l dx = dA
Unit: CGS ergs/cm2 ( energy/ area) or dyn/cm (force/length); SI: J/m2 or N/m
Soap bubble:
is in terms of energy per unit area. In the absence of gravitational or other forces, a soap bubble is
spherical, as this is the shape of minimum surface area for an enclosed volume. A soap bubble of
radius r has a total surface free energy 4
r2.
If the radius were to decrease by dr the change in surface free energy would be 4

Shrinking decreases the surface energy, that must be balanced by a pressure difference across the
film P. The work against this pressure difference is equal to decrease in surface free energy

Surface tension for Curved interfaces:


Young-Laplace equation
Lets consider a small, curved interface
characterized by two principal radii of curvature, R1
and R2 as shown
We now increase the area of the curved surface by
expanding it through a vertical distance dz. The
change in surface area can be expressed as
dA = (x + dx)(y + dy) xy

Young-Laplace equation
Young-Laplace equation is applicable locally, i.e. in a macroscopic curved
surface, the principal radii of curvature may vary throughout the entire
surface, which means that the local pressure difference can also be different.
Applying the Young-Laplace equation to a few special interfaces, we see that

is no pressure difference across the interface. There fore, 1/R1 + 1/R2 = 0 or R1

negative.
(b) A water film is trapped between two glass slides (b), the air/water interface
can be approximated as a locally cylindrical interface, which means that Patm
Pw = /R, where Pw is the pressure in the water film. Since there is an excess
pressure pressing the two slides together, it is difficult to pull the slides apart.

Pg ( h ) Pl ( h ) =

R1 R 2

where Pg(h) is the gas pressure at point A, Pl(h) is


the liquid pressure at point A, is the surface
tension, and R1 and R2 are the two principal radii
of curvature of the interface at
point A.

Due to cylindrical symmetry,


R1 = R2 = b at point A, therefore
P g ( h ) Pl ( h ) =

Capillary-rise method
Now, we also know that, at z = 0,
Pg(0) = Pl(0)

[Pg(h) Pg(0)] [Pl(h) Pl(0)] = 2/b
(4)
ggh + lgh = 2 /b = gh(g + l)

where g and l are the gas and liquid densities, respectively.
If the contact angle, , equals to 0, then b = r, the radius of the
capillary tube.

Drop-weight method
Consider the situation where a liquid drop is hanging at the end of a
tube. Assuming that at the point of detachment, the shape of the
drop is as shown in Figure (a), and the surface-tension force is
acting upward.
The force pulling upward is given by
F = 2r
where is the surface tension.
By force balance, F is equal to the
weight of the drop, i.e.
2r = drop weight

If the liquid does not wet the


tube, i.e. > 90, then r = rin, the inside radius of the tube.
If the liquid wets the tube, i.e. < 90, then r = rout (Figure(b)) 19

Drop-weight method
In practice, however, we need a correction factor, f, to account for
the real weight of the drop, i.e.
2rf = Vg
where is the liquid density and V is the drop volume, determined
by V = m/, where m is the measured mass of the drop. Thus, the
surface tension can be obtained as = Vg

In practice, however, a correction factor is


needed to obtain the true surface tension,

The correction factor, f, depends on two
dimensionless parameters: R3/V and R/r, where
V is the volume of liquid pulled up.

Interfacial Science and Engineering

21

DuNouy-ring method

As the film is stretched a maximum force is


experienced; this is recorded in the
measurement. At the maximum the force
vector is exactly parallel to the direction of
motion; at this moment the contact angle
=0o.

Interfacial Science and Engineering

22

Wilhelmy-plate method
The principle involved in this method is the same as that in
the DuNouy-ring method.
L cos = F Wplate
where L = 2(l + t) is the wetted length, l and t are the length
and thickness of the plate, is the surface tension, is the
contact angle, and Wplate is the weight of the plate.
The surface tension can therefore be
expressed as
F W plate
=
L cos
If the plate is completely wetted by the
liquid, then = 0. Platinum plates are
often used for this purpose, since the
contact angle of most liquids against a
platinum plate is zero.

Three types of wetting are summarised as:
-
Gspreading/A = S = SG - SL - LG
-
Gadhesional/A = Wa = SG - SL + LG
-
Gimmersional/A = SG - SL = LGcos

A reduction of SL facilitates all of these wetting processes but


reducing LG is not always helpful.

Advancing and Receding angle


Advancing contact angle:
An advancing contact angle is measured when the sessile drop has the maximum
volume allowable for the liquid-solid interfacial area, any addition will make the drop
expand and increase the liquid-solid interfacial area.
This can be thought of as the "wetting angle" because the drop is ready to wet
additional area.
The receding contact angle:
The receding angle is the opposite: if any liquid is removed from the drop, the liquidsolid interfacial area will decrease. This is the "de-wetting angle.
The advancing angle is the largest possible angle and the receding is the smallest
possible contact angle. Both are presumed to be measured at thermodynamic
equilibrium.
Advancing Angle (a) and the Receding Angle
(r). The tilting angle of a solid surface when the
droplet starts sliding downward is called the
Sliding Angle ().
Interfacial Science and Engineering

31

Hysteresis of contact angle


The ends of the droplet show the hysteresis of contact angle variations by
increasing (or decreasing) volume. The angle formed while increasing
volume is called the Advancing Angle, likewise the angle while decreasing
volume is called the Receding Angle.

Young-Dupre equation: Wa = LG (1 + cos )


For hydrophilic surfaces: Due to adsorption of surface active molecules surface
become hydrophobic. Wa is decreased, since some of the glass-water interface is
replaced by hydrocarbon-water interface, hence fron Young-Dupre equation,
increases.
For hydrophobic surface: By addition of surfactants Wa is increased and LG is
decreased , as a result from the Young-Dupre equation, decreases.

hydrogen bonding, the exact opposite of hydrophobes

flat surface
r is the ratio of the real surface area divided by the projected flat surface area
and is therefore always larger than 1.

toward complete wetting if < 90 or to nonwetting if > 90.

Emulsion/Microemulsion
Emulsion: An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible (unblendable) substances. One
substance (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the other (the continuous phase).
The emulsion is normally called macroemulsion.
Size range: Macroemulsion are usally seze between 0.1 m to 10 m.
Microemulsion: Microemulsion is defined as a thermodynamically stable phase
consists of ternary mixtures of oil-surfactant-water or quaternary mixtures of oilsurfactant-cosurfactant-water.
Size range: Their average particle size may fall in the range of 5-100 nm.
A surfactant mixed with a cosurfactant in a certain proportion is most often
convenient.
Cosurfactants: Lower alkanols like butanol, pentanol and hexanol, and amines like
butylamine, hexylamine.
Role of cosurfactant: their presence in the interface between water and oil imparts
flexibility, in addition to lowering the interfacial tension causing easier surface
bending to energetically favored dispersion.

47

Application of Microemulsion
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR): Roughly 20% of the unrecoverable
underground oil can be obtained by the EOR process. The oil remains
trappedin the reservoir because of high interfacial tension (about 2025
mN/m) between the crude oil and reservoir brine. If the interfacial tension
can be reduced to around 103 mN/m, a substantial fraction of the residual
oil in the porous media in which it is trapped can be
mobilized.
Microemulsions in detergency: Microemulsions are promising systems for
detergency purposes over traditionally-used organic solvents, as they can
solubilize polar (e.g., salt, pigment, protein) and non-polar soil components
(e.g., grease, oil).
Microemulsions in cosmetics: In many cosmetic applications such as skin
care products, emulsions are widely used with water as the continuous
phase.

Factors determining stability of


emulsion
Stability: Resistence of emulsions to the coalescence of their dispersed
droplets.
1. Physical Nature of the Interfacial Film: The droplets of dispersed
liquid in an emulsion are in constant motion, and therefore there
are frequent collisions between them. The mechanical strength of
the interfacial film is therefore one of the prime factors
determining macroemulsion stability. For maximum mechanical
stability, the interfacial film resulting from the adsorbed
surfactants should be condensed, with strong lateral
intermolecular forces, and should exhibit high film elasticity.
An example of an oil-soluble surfactant and a water-soluble
surfactant that are commonly used together as the emulsifying
agent for many applications.
2. Existence of an Electrical or Steric Barrier: The presence of a
charge on the dispersed droplets constitutes an electrical barrier
to the close approach of two particles to each other. This is
believed to be a significant factor only in O/W emulsions.
Interfacial Science and Engineering

50

Factors determining stability of


emulsion
3. Viscosity of the Continuous Phase: An increase in the viscosity of the
continuous phase reduces the diffusion coefficient D of the droplets,
since, for spherical droplets,
k = Boltzmann constant, a = radius of the droplet
kT
D=

6a

As the diffusion constant is reduced, the frequency of collision of the


droplets and their rate of coalescence are reduced. The viscosity of
the external phase is increased as the number of suspended particles
increases, and this is one of the reasons that many emulsions are
more stable in concentrated form than when diluted. The viscosity of
the external phase in emulsions is often increased by the addition of
special ingredients for this purpose.
4. Temperature: Rate of coalesence of the particles, and thus the
stability of the emulsion can be expressed as

O/W emulsion formed

If, at the contact between oil, water, and emulsifier, the oil contact
angle (the contact angle, measured in the oil phase) is less than 90,
then the oil surface is concave toward the water, producing a W/O
water
emulsion.
On the other hand, if at the same oilwateremulsifier contact, the
water contact angle is less than 90, then the water surfact is concave
toward the oil, producing an O/W emulsion.
Interfacial Science and Engineering

52

Effect of contact angle on emulsion type


However, that if the oil contact angle is < 90, then WE > OE (i.e., the
emulsifier is more hydrophobic than hydrophilic).
If the water contact angle is < 90, then OE > WE, and the emulsifying agent
is more hydrophilic than hydrophobic.
Thus, whereas those with mainly hydrophobic character produce W/O
emulsions, emulsifying agents with mainly hydrophilic character produce
O/W emulsions.
