A micellar system with salicylic acid (SA) adsorbed on Triton X-100 is investigated with cloud-point measurements and smallangle neutron scattering. The novel feature of SA being in two forms, charged and uncharged, on the micellar surface is exploited to tune the van der Waals and the Coulombic con

β¦ Synopsis
The coagulation and the stability of dilute colloids at high PΓ©clet number were studied in consideration of the universal nonsingular van der Waals interactions recently developed by J. X. Lu and W. H. Marlow (1995, Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 1724). The capture efficiency of gravitational coagulation of uncharged colloids was found to be diminished due to the effect of finite molecular size (EFMS). The gravitational coagulation stability diagram of charged colloids was also found to be shifted when the gravitational convection was much stronger than the Brownian diffusion.

The dielectric response, (iΞΎ ), for water (which is required in Lifshitz theory to calculate the van der Waals interactions in aqueous systems) is commonly constructed, in the absence of complete spectral data, by fitting a damped-harmonic-oscillator model to absorption data. Two sets of parameters
Continuing earlier work on phenylacetylene (PhAc), we have measured the molecular rotational spectra of 24 isotopologues of the van-der-Waals complex phenylacetylene-argon (PhAc-Ar) by molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. All atomic positions could be singly substituted or in com
We present calculations of the van der Waals force for carbon black dispersions in both aqueous and nonaqueous media using Lifshitz theory. The microstructure and composition of carbon black are complex, but an initial approximation to the shell-like microstructure of carbon black allows the local i
