Where G _ v is the Gibbs volume energy and \ gamma is the interfacial energy.
2.
Reducing the number of these interactions reduces the interfacial energy, thus causing the emulsions to become more stable.
3.
The non-polarity of PDMS allows for biomolecules to readily adsorb to its surface in order to lower interfacial energy.
4.
Using the Young's relation and tabulated values for interfacial energy, we can estimate the surface energy of the solid.
5.
The interfacial energies can be based on the natural structure of the materials, or the addition of chemical treatments can improve energy compatibility.
6.
Any understanding of the variations of interfacial energy must take account of the atomic structure and the details of the bonding at the interface.
7.
The Kelvin foam and the Weaire Phelan foam are more stable, having smaller interfacial energy in the limit of a very small liquid content.
8.
This includes the possibility of creating particles with core / shell structures, allowing upconversion through "'interfacial energy transfer ( IET ) " '.
9.
In contrast, a small misfit corresponds with a coherent interface and coherency strain that results in the interfacial energy equivalent to the minimum \ scriptstyle \ gamma sg.
10.
Like triply periodic minimal surfaces there has been interest in periodic CMC surfaces as models for block copolymers where the different components have a nonzero interfacial energy or tension.
