Quantitative description of the surface tension minimum in a two-component surfactant system
Edgar M. Blokhuis
The Gibbs adsorption equation is the thermodynamic cornerstone for the description and understanding of the surface tension in a surfactant solution. It relates the decrease in sur…
Triezenberg-Zwanzig expression for the surface tension of a liquid drop
Edgar M. Blokhuis
Formulas, analogous to the Triezenberg-Zwanzig expression for the surface tension of a planar interface, are presented for the Tolman length, the bending rigidity, and the rigidity…
Density Functional Theory of a Curved Liquid-Vapour Interface: Evaluation of the rigidity constants
Edgar M. Blokhuis, Alan E. van Giessen
It is argued that to arrive at a quantitative description of the surface tension of a liquid drop as a function of its inverse radius, it is necessary to include the bending rigidi…
The existence of a bending rigidity for a hard sphere liquid near a curved hard wall: Helfrich or Hadwiger?
Edgar M. Blokhuis
In the context of Rosenfeld's Fundamental Measure Theory, we show that the bending rigidity is not equal to zero for a hard-sphere fluid in contact with a curved hard wall. The imp…
On the spectrum of fluctuations of a liquid surface: From the molecular scale to the macroscopic scale
Edgar M. Blokhuis
We show that to account for the full spectrum of surface fluctuations from low scattering vector qd << 1 (classical capillary wave theory) to high qd > 1 (bulk-like fluctuations),…
Description of the fluctuating colloid-polymer interface
Edgar M. Blokhuis, Joris Kuipers, Richard Vink
To describe the full spectrum of surface fluctuations of the interface between phase-separated colloid-polymer mixtures from low scattering vector q (classical capillary wave theor…
