Course Objective |
At the completion of this class you should be able to: to understand the basic nomenclature, concepts and tools of colloid and interface science and engineering; multi-phase nano-systems; mechanics and thermodynamics on small scales; to describe the effect of surface forces (surface tension) on such phenomena as capillary rise and vapor pressure; to determine what structures result in molecules that are attracted to the interfacial regions. Be able to calculate their concentration and their effect of surface tension; to explain the association phenomena of surface-active materials such as micellization and adsorption; to define the major forces between colloidal particles, both attractive and repulsive. Be able to calculate the effect of these forces on |
