| Abstract | We have developed a simulation model to describe particle adsorption to and desorption from liquid interfaces. Using this model we formulate a closed interfacial equation of state for repulsive elastic spheres. The effect of a long-range attractive interaction is introduced by perturbation theory, and the effect of a short-range attraction is studied using direct simulation. Based on our model predictions we conclude that for polymeric particles the surface pressure cannot be modelled directly by inert particles that interact via some effective potential. Internal degrees of freedom within gel particles are all-important. Consequently, the surface pressure of a fully packed layer is not proportional to kT/d2, where d is the particle diameter; but proportional to kT/dm2, where dm is the size of the molecular units that make up the particle. This increases the surface pressure and modulus by some four orders of magnitude. For short range interaction we study the dynamic behaviour, and find fractal-like structures at low concentrations. At intermediate coverage an irregular structure is formed that resembles a spinodal system. This system freezes, which arrests the spinodal structure. At high surface coverage the simulations show poly-crystalline domains. For dilute systems, the strength of the surface layers is determined by simulated compression and expansion. We find a power law for the surface pressure (Π ∝ Γ10±0.5), which is related to the (fractal) structure of the adsorbed network. The power law is consistent with surface percolation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
