A fractal classification of the drainage dynamics in thin liquid films
R. Tsekov, E. Evstatieva
It is demonstrated that the dynamic structure is very important for the rate of drainage of a thin liquid film and it can be effectively taken into account by a dynamic fractal dim…
Parallel stability analysis of membrane lamellar structures and foam films
N. G. Ivanova, R. Tsekov
In the frames of the DLVO theory the root mean square amplitude of capillary waves in a thin liquid film is calculated and its dependence on some important physical parameters is u…
Structure and phase transitions into ionic adsorption layers on liquid interfaces
R. Tsekov
The structure of ionic adsorption layers is studied via a proper thermodynamic treatment of the electrostatic and non-electrostatic interactions between the surfactant ions as well…
Wetting dynamics on lyophilic solid surfaces patterned by lyophobic islands
R. Tsekov, D. Borissov, S. I. Karakashev
A theory for wetting of structured solid surfaces is developed, based on the delta-comb periodic potential. It possesses two matching parameters: the effective line tension and the…
Effect of the adsorption component of the disjoining pressure on foam film drainage
S. I. Karakashev, A. V. Nguyen, R. Tsekov
The present work is trying to explain a discrepancy between experimental observations of the drainage of foam films from aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and the t…
Electrostatic interaction of neutral semipermeable membranes
Olga I. Vinogradova, Lyderic Bocquet, Artem N. Bogdanov +2
We consider an osmotic equilibrium between bulk solutions of polyelectrolyte bounded by semipermeable membranes and separated by a thin film of salt-free liquid. Although the membr…
