| Abstract | Critical binary liquid mixtures have proven to be extremely useful for quantitatively studying wetting and adsorption phenomena that occur at the surfaces of these systems. In this paper recent experimental developments in our understanding of adsorption gained via the study of critical mixtures are reviewed. At the noncritical liquid/vapor surface the component possessing the smallest surface tension completely saturates this surface for sufficiently large surface tension differences Δσ between the two components. This complete (or strong) adsorption is described by a universal scaling function P which depends upon the dimensionless depth z/ξ where ξ is the correlation length. Weakly polar and nonpolar binary liquid mixtures have been used to define the scaling function P. If the surface energy difference Δ σ between the two components is small, then the surface is no longer completely saturated by one component. In this weak adsorption egime the adsorption behavior is now described by a universal function G of both z/ξ and Δ σ. The functional dependence of G is elucidated by examining a homologous series of critical binary AB liquid mixtures where component A is an n-alkane while component B (methyl formate) is fixed. For this system Δ σ changes sign with increasing n-alkane chain length. In addition to adsorption, dipole surface orientational order at the liquid/vapor surface of highly polar + nonpolar mixtures is also discussed. This orientational order is induced by the dipole-image dipole interaction in the vicinity of a surface. |

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.
