TL;DR: In this paper, the role of high-pressure vapor-liquid equilibria, jet fluid dynamics and mass transfer in determining particle size and morphology is still debated, and the observed particle morphologies have been explained considering the interplay among high pressure phase equilibrium, fluid dynamics during the precipitation process.

TL;DR: In this article, a linear relation between the logarithm of surface tension and fluidity involving the characteristic exponent ϕ was proposed to fit the ionic liquids uniquely with ϕ = 0.30.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method to estimate the surface tension of binary alloys was developed by assuming that the partial molar excess free energies are proportional to the number of nearest neighbors in both the bulk solution and in the surface itself.
Abstract: A simple method to estimate the surface tensions of binary alloys has been developed by assuming that the partial molar excess free energies are proportional to the number of nearest neighbors in both the bulk solution and in the surface itself. In order to estimate the surface tension of the alloys, excess free energies of the alloys and the surface tensions of the pure components are required. This method has been applied to ten alloys exhibiting positive, positive as well as negative, and negative deviations from ideal solution behavior. The method depends upon the reliability of the thermodynamic data for the bulk solutions, and, further, it is important to use an interpolation scheme that is consistent with the Gibbs-Duhem requirement, when the thermodynamic data are presented in tabular form as a function of composition. To accomplish this interpolation, a special calculation technique is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a thermodynamic fundamental equation for the surface phase of a solid exposed to an adsorbing gas is derived, which is more general than the corresponding equation given by Gibbs in the sense that it is applicable with less restriction as to the state of strain of the solid surface.

TL;DR: In this article, a number of different possible driving forces to achieve the deformation of latex film are discussed, ranging from surface tension between polymer particles and either water or air to capillary forces at the water−air interface.
Abstract: During the deformation stage of latex film formation, a close-packed array of particles is consolidated to form a structure with volume fraction unity There are a number of different possible driving forces to achieve this Proposed mechanisms range from surface tension between polymer particles and either water or air to capillary forces at the water−air interface We review the different driving forces and the literature supporting them A recent model we have proposed predicts the conditions under which each mechanism operates Experiments in the literature correlate well with our model, although the need for experiments with well-defined values for the critical parameters is highlighted
