Preparation of Conductive Silver Films from Electrophoretic Concentrates Stabilized with Sorbitan Monooleate and Sodium Bis(2-Ethylhexyl)Sulfosuccinate in n -Decane Colloid J. (IF 0.862) Pub Date : 2020-05-25 E. V. Poleeva; A. T. Arymbaeva; O. A. Bulavchenko; P. E. Plyusnin; M. G. Demidova; A. I. Bulavchenko
AbstractA high-productivity method has been proposed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles with sizes of 11.2 ± 0.3 nm in water-in-oil emulsions stabilized with sorbitan monooleate (Span 80). It has been shown that, in the course of the synthesis, initial reagents are transferred from emulsion droplets into Span 80 micelles. As a result, nanoparticles are formed due to the intermicellar exchange

Structural Characteristics and Electrical Conductivity of Porous Glasses with Different Compositions in Solutions of Sodium, Lanthanum and Iron(III) Chlorides Colloid J. (IF 0.862) Pub Date : 2020-05-25 L. E. Ermakova; A. S. Kuznetsova; T. V. Antropova; A. V. Volkova; I. N. Anfimova
AbstractThe structural characteristics (structural resistance coefficient, volume porosity, tortuosity coefficient, average pore radius, specific surface area) and specific electrical conductivity of high-silica micro- and macroporous glasses with different compositions (basic magnetite-free and magnetite-containing glasses) have been studied in solutions of sodium, lanthanum, and iron(III) chlorides

Synthesis and Properties of Chitosan- and Pectin-Based Hydrogels Colloid J. (IF 0.862) Pub Date : 2020-05-25 N. N. Sigaeva; R. R. Vil’danova; A. V. Sultanbaev; S. P. Ivanov
AbstractHydrogels have been prepared by mixing chitosan and pectin solutions, as well as solutions of their modified derivatives, in aqueous media at room temperature. The gels are obtained within a time period from several seconds to half an hour or more, depending on the process conditions. The hydrogels are formed due to both the covalent bonding between functional groups and the formation of interpolyelectrolyte

Size Dependence of the Surface Tension of a Small Droplet under the Assumption of a Constant Tolman Length: Critical Analysis Colloid J. (IF 0.862) Pub Date : 2020-05-25 S. Sh. Rekhviashvili
AbstractConvincing arguments have been presented testifying that that the surface tension of a small spherical droplet must decrease upon diminishing droplet radius in correspondence with a positive constant Tolman length. The solution of the Gibbs–Tolman–Koenig–Buff equation has been found in the most compact form. The surface tension of a small spherical droplet has been calculated within the framework

Poiseuille Flow of Micropolar-Newtonian Fluid through Concentric Pipes Filled with Porous Medium Colloid J. (IF 0.862) Pub Date : 2020-05-25 Pramod Kumar Yadav; Sneha Jaiswal; Jaikanth Yadav Puchakatla; A. N. Filippov
AbstractIn this work we present a mathematical model for the flow of two fluids (micropolar and Newtonian ) through concentric cylinders having porous space of different permeability. The Poiseuille flow of micropolar fluid takes place in core region while Newtonian fluid in the annular region of concentric cylinders respectively. An analytical expression of velocity, flow rate, micro rotational velocity

Linear Assemblies of Monodisperse Silver Nanoparticles on Micro/Nanofibrillar Cellulose Colloid J. (IF 0.862) Pub Date : 2020-05-25 A. V. Skatova; S. A. Sarin; Yu. A. Shchipunov
AbstractUniform silver nanoparticles with diameters smaller than 10 nm have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method on micro/nanofibrils of cellulose, which is used as a substrate, in a solution consisting of a water/ethylene glycol (reductant) mixture, a silver salt, poly(vinylpyrrolidone), and silver chloride used as a seed. Cellulose plays the role of an additional mild reductant, which prevents
