Tuning the Phase Diagram of Colloid-Polymer Mixtures Via Yukawa Interactions PHYSICAL REVIEW E 94, 062607 (2016) Tuning the phase diagram of colloid-polymer mixtures via Yukawa interactions Alvaro´ Gonzalez´ Garc´ıa and Remco Tuinier* Laboratory of Physical Chemistry, Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry & Institute for Complex Molecular Systems, Eindhoven University of Technology, P.O. Box 513, 5600 MB, Eindhoven, The Netherlands and Van’t Hoff Laboratory for Physical and Colloid Chemistry, Department of Chemistry & Debye Institute, Utrecht University, Padualaan 8, 3584 CH, The Netherlands (Received 28 June 2016; revised manuscript received 7 November 2016; published 16 December 2016) Theory that predicts the phase behavior of interacting Yukawa spheres in a solution containing nonadsorbing polymer is presented. Our approach accounts for multiple overlap of depletion zones. It is found that additional Yukawa interactions beyond hard core interactions strongly affect the location and presence of coexistence regions and phase states. The theoretical phase diagrams are compared with Monte Carlo simulations. The agreement between the two approaches supports the validity of the theoretical approximations made and confirms that, by choosing the parameters of the interaction potentials, tuning of the binodals is possible. The critical end point characterizes the phase diagram topology. It is demonstrated how an additional Yukawa interaction shifts this point with respect to the hard sphere case. Provided a certain depletant-to-colloid size ratio for which a stable colloidal gas-liquid phase coexistence takes place for hard spheres, added direct interactions turn this into a metastable gas-liquid equilibrium. The opposite case, the induction of a stable gas-liquid coexistence where only fluid-solid was present for hard spheres, is also reported. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.94.062607 I.

In fact, nanoparticle dispersions exhibit the same colloid-polymer mixtures. Moreover, the theory accounts for phase states as those found in atomic systems (i.e., gas, multiple overlap of depletion zones. liquid, and solid).

Thus engineering materials attain their special properties. Macroscopic basic unit of a material is called component. It refers to a independent chemical species. The components of a system may be elements, ions or compounds. A phase can be defined as a homogeneous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics i.e. it is a physically distinct from other phases, chemically homogeneous and mechanically separable portion of a system. A component can exist in many phases. E.g.: Water exists as ice, liquid water, and water vapor. Carbon exists as graphite and diamond. Mixtures – Solutions – Phases (contd…) When two phases are present in a system, it is not necessary that there be a difference in both physical and chemical properties; a disparity in one or the other set of properties is sufficient. A solution (liquid or solid) is phase with more than one component; a mixture is a material with more than one phase. Solute (minor component of two in a solution) does not change the structural pattern of the solvent, and the composition of any solution can be varied. In mixtures, there are different phases, each with its own atomic arrangement. It is possible to have a mixture of two different solutions! Gibbs phase rule In a system under a set of conditions, number of phases (P) exist can be related to the number of components (C) and degrees of freedom (F) by Gibbs phase rule.

  • Phase Transitions in Multicomponent Systems
    Physics 127b: Statistical Mechanics Phase Transitions in Multicomponent Systems The Gibbs Phase Rule Consider a system with n components (different types of molecules) with r phases in equilibrium. The state of each phase is defined by P,T and then (n − 1) concentration variables in each phase. The phase equilibrium at given P,T is defined by the equality of n chemical potentials between the r phases. Thus there are n(r − 1) constraints on (n − 1)r + 2 variables. This gives the Gibbs phase rule for the number of degrees of freedom f f = 2 + n − r A Simple Model of a Binary Mixture Consider a condensed phase (liquid or solid). As an estimate of the coordination number (number of nearest neighbors) think of a cubic arrangement in d dimensions giving a coordination number 2d. Suppose there are a total of N molecules, with fraction xB of type B and xA = 1 − xB of type A. In the mixture we assume a completely random arrangement of A and B. We just consider “bond” contributions to the internal energy U, given by εAA for A − A nearest neighbors, εBB for B − B nearest neighbors, and εAB for A − B nearest neighbors. We neglect other contributions to the internal energy (or suppose them unchanged between phases, etc.). Simple counting gives the internal energy of the mixture 2 2 U = Nd(xAεAA + 2xAxBεAB + xBεBB) = Nd{εAA(1 − xB) + εBBxB + [εAB − (εAA + εBB)/2]2xB(1 − xB)} The first two terms in the second expression are just the internal energy of the unmixed A and B, and so the second term, depending on εmix = εAB − (εAA + εBB)/2 can be though of as the energy of mixing.

    polymers Article Phase Diagrams of Ternary π-Conjugated Polymer Solutions for Organic Photovoltaics Jung Yong Kim School of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, Jimma Institute of Technology, Jimma University, Post Office Box 378 Jimma, Ethiopia; [email protected] Abstract: Phase diagrams of ternary conjugated polymer solutions were constructed based on Flory-Huggins lattice theory with a constant interaction parameter. For this purpose, the poly(3- hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) solution as a model system was investigated as a function of temperature, molecular weight (or chain length), solvent species, processing additives, and electron- accepting small molecules. Then, other high-performance conjugated polymers such as PTB7 and PffBT4T-2OD were also studied in the same vein of demixing processes. Herein, the liquid-liquid phase transition is processed through the nucleation and growth of the metastable phase or the spontaneous spinodal decomposition of the unstable phase. Resultantly, the versatile binodal, spinodal, tie line, and critical point were calculated depending on the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter as well as the relative molar volume of each component. These findings may pave the way to rationally understand the phase behavior of solvent-polymer-fullerene (or nonfullerene) systems at the interface of organic photovoltaics and molecular thermodynamics.

    Acid dissociation constant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 Help us provide free content to the world by donating today ! Acid dissociation constant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An acid dissociation constant (aka acidity constant, acid-ionization constant) is an equilibrium constant for the dissociation of an acid. It is denoted by Ka. For an equilibrium between a generic acid, HA, and − its conjugate base, A , The weak acid acetic acid donates a proton to water in an equilibrium reaction to give the acetate ion and − + HA A + H the hydronium ion. Key: Hydrogen is white, oxygen is red, carbon is gray. Lines are chemical bonds. K is defined, subject to certain conditions, as a where [HA], [A−] and [H+] are equilibrium concentrations of the reactants. The term acid dissociation constant is also used for pKa, which is equal to −log 10 Ka. The term pKb is used in relation to bases, though pKb has faded from modern use due to the easy relationship available between the strength of an acid and the strength of its conjugate base. Though discussions of this topic typically assume water as the solvent, particularly at introductory levels, the Brønsted–Lowry acid-base theory is versatile enough that acidic behavior can now be characterized even in non-aqueous solutions. The value of pK indicates the strength of an acid: the larger the value the weaker the acid. In aqueous a solution, simple acids are partially dissociated to an appreciable extent in in the pH range pK ± 2. The a actual extent of the dissociation can be calculated if the acid concentration and pH are known.

  • Modeling of Phase Equilibria in Reactive Mixtures
    Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. Modeling of Phase Equilibria in Industrial Technology & Research Laboratory Reactive Mixtures Tetsuya SUZUTA Most chemical processes contain at least two of the three phases of solid, liquid and gas. Therefore it is essen- tial to fully understand phase equilibria for the logical design of processes and apparatus. The basic theory of phase equilibrium has already been established, but there are some exceptions which are not compliant with the theory. Many of those are influenced by chemical reactions within a certain phase or between different phases, so consideration of the reaction is necessary for precise reproduction of such unusual behavior. In this paper, some models for phase equilibria in reactive mixtures and several examples of their application in industrial plants are presented.
