The forces acting in colloidal suspensions and affecting their stability and aggregation
kinetics are considered. The approximations used for these forces in numerical simulations …

Burn wounds pose great challenges for conventional dressings because massive exudates
oversecreted from swollen tissues and blisters seriously delay wound healing. Herein, a self …

The coalescence of liquid drops induces a higher level of complexity compared to the
classical studies about the aggregation of solid spheres. Yet, it is commonly believed that …

The stability of vesicular drug carriers containing linoleic acid, as a model of bilayer
fluidizing agent, was evaluated using a Turbiscan optical analyzer, an innovative analytical …

Emulsions are dispersions of two immiscible liquids, kinetically stabilized by the action of a
surface-active substance known as a surfactant. The role of the surfactant in emulsion …

The LSW theory of Ostwald ripening, predicts a linear variation of the cube of the average
radius of a dispersion as a function of time (3vs. t)[IM Lifshitz, VV Slyozov, J. Phys. Chem …

The dynamics of processes of nanoparticles such as diffusion, attraction and repulsion, and
self-assembly of structures of nanoparticles at the solid-liquid interfaces differ significantly …

Approximate analytic expressions are derived for the stability ratios of dispersions of
spherical colloidal particles with and without viscous interactions between particles on the …

According to Emulsion Stability Simulations (ESS), the flocculation of two non-deformable
drops in the primary minimum of the interaction potential, necessarily leads to their …

The potential energy of the interaction between two approaching colloidal particles obtained
by the DLVO theory can exhibit a maximum, a primary minimum, and a secondary minimum …
