A cell theory for the prediction of the surface tension of polymer liquids is modified to include an entropic effect due to molecular asymmetry. Also considered is the extent of the effect of the preservation of connectivity in the vicinity of the surface upon the potential energy zero term due to missing nearest neighbors of orders greater than one. Theory and experiment are in good agreement without an adjustable surface parameter.

Aramid cords and fibers and polyester tire cords were treated in a continuous or pulsed DC plasma containing organic monomers such as pyrrole or acetylene in a custom-built reactor. For the treated cords the rubber adhesion was measured in a standard pull-out test. It was found that the plasma polymer coating significantly increased the pull-out forces. The effect of the power-to-pressure ratio and the pulsing of DC power on the performance of the treated cords or fibers were investigated. It was found that, in general, low power / high pressure conditions gave better results than high power / low pressure conditions. Coatings obtained under these conditions were thoroughly characterized by a range of analytical tools. Based on these data and on failure analysis, models were developed to explain the experimental findings.

Recently, a number of authors have been rearranging the various combinations and permutations of the different apolar and polar liquids with which contact angles can be measured on polar surfaces and in so doing have arrived at bizarre results. The rational order and procedures to be followed in the determination of the apolar and polar surface tension properties of polar materials, according to the van Oss-Chaudhury-Good components and parameters of the approach, are reiterated.

In a previous paper it was shown that negative interfacial tensions between predominantly monopolar surfaces (i.e., surfaces with mainly H-acceptor properties) and polar liquids are real phenomena. Such negative interfacial tensions do however decay rapidly. For miscible liquids, the decay of the interface is, in general, so rapid that it practically excludes measurement of interfacial tension. However, if one liquid is present in the form of a gel, and if the other liquid is placed as a drop upon the gel, there is often enough time to measure contact angles. This may be done at various concentrations of the liquid encased in the gel, and an extrapolation made to zero concentration of the gelling agent. With this method we found the existence of negative interfacial tensions at liquid/liquid interfaces.

Following the development of a methodology for determining the apolar components as well as the electron donor and the electron acceptor parameters of the surface tension of polar surfaces, surfaces of a number of quite common materials were found to manifest virtually only electron donor properties and no, or hardly, any electron acceptor properties. Such materials may be called monopolar; they can strongly interact with bipolar materials (e.g., with polar liquids such as water); but one single polar parameter of a monopolar material cannot contribute to its energy of cohesion. Monopolar materials manifesting only electron acceptor properties also may exist, but they do not appear to occur in as great an abundance. Among the electron donor monopolar materials are: polymethylmethacrylate, polyvinylalcohol, polyethyleneglycol, proteins, many polysaccharides, phospholipids, nonionic surfactants, cellulose esters, etc.

Strongly monopolar materials of the same sign repel each other when immersed or dissolved in water or other polar liquids. The interfacial tension between strongly monopolar surfaces and water has a negative value. This leads to a tendency for water to penetrate between facing surfaces of a monopolar substance and hence, to repulsion between the molecules or particles of such a monopolar material, when immersed in water, and thus to pronounced solubility or dispersibility. Monopolar repulsion energies can far outweigh Lifshitz-van der Waals attractions as well as electrostatic and “steric” repulsions. In aqueous systems the commonly observed stabilization effects, which usually are ascribed to “steric” stabilization, may in many instances be attributed to monopolar repulsion between nonionic stabilizing molecules. The repulsion between monopolar molecules of the same sign can also lead to phase separation in aqueous solutions (or suspensions), where not only two, but multiple phases are possible. Negative interfacial tensions between monopolar surfactants and the brine phase can be the driving force for the formation of microemulsions; such negative interfacial tensions ultimately decay and stabilize at a value very close to zero.

Strongly monopolar macromolecules or particles surrounded by oriented water molecules of hydration can still repel each other, albeit to an attenuated degree. This repulsion was earlier perceived as caused by “hydration pressure”.

A few of the relevant colloid and surface phenomena are reviewed and re-examined in the light of the influence of surface monopolarity on these phenomena.

By measuring contact angles with water, glycerol and formamide on a number of polar surfaces, an estimate could be made of the electron-acceptor (γ+ ) and the electron-donor (γ ) parameters of glycerol (G) and formamide (F), relative to the parameters of. water (W), for which a reference value of γ+ W = γ W = 25.5 mJ/m2 has been assumed. The values thus found are: γ+ G ≈ 3.92 mJ/m2 (which yields γ G ≈ 57.4 mJ/m2) and γ+ F ≈2.28 mJ/m2 (which yields γ F ≈ 39.6 mJ/m2).

372. van Oss, C.J., R.J. Good, and M.K. Chaudhury, “The role of van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds in 'hydrophilic interactions' between biopolymers and low energy surfaces,” J. Colloid and Interface Science, 111, 378-390, (1986).

The thermodynamic nature of interfaces and of adhesion is reexamined in the light of the Lifshitz theory of the forces acting across condensed phases. A new term is proposed, γLW, which consists of the sum of the terms heretofore ascribed to London, Debye, and Keesom forces, LW referring to Lifshitz-van der Waals. This term and a second term γSR account for the entirety of two-phase interactions in nonionic systems; SR refers to short range forces. This new analysis of forces is of value in explaining some important biological and other phenomena. The rather strong attachment of hydrophilic proteins, e.g., human serum albumin (HSA) and human immunoglobulin G (IgG), to low energy surfaces, e.g., polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polystyrene (PST), while immersed in H2O, cannot be ascribed solely to Lifshitz-van der Waals forces (LW). For instance, it can be shown that the LW interaction would give rise to a repulsion between HSA and PTFE. The short range (SR) interactions, e.g., between H2O and HSA, are due to H-bonds, which cannot directly account for interactions with PTFE. However, the combined SR interfacial tensions between the H-bonding liquid, the biopolymer, and the low energy surface still result in a strong attraction between PTFE and HSA, immersed in H2O. This is analogous to the behavior of a liquid-air interface (where the fact that the direct interaction between a given solute and air is zero does not preclude the solute from being preferentially attracted to the interface). This SR attraction (minus the LW repulsion) between HSA and PTFE, in H2O, is of the same order of magnitude as the adsorption energy derived from the Langmuir isotherm obtained for this system. Analogous results are found with IgG and PTFE, and also with HSA and IgG, with PST. Desorption patterns (obtained by changing the γLW and γSR of the liquid medium) allow an insight into the degree of local dehydration (or “denaturation”) of adsorbed proteins under various conditions. It is suggested that the term interfacial forces more aptly describes the underlying mechanism than “hydrophobic interactions.”

700. van Oss, C.J., W. Wu, and R.F. Giese, “Lifshitz-van der Waals, Lewis acid-base and electrostatic interactions in adhesion in aqueous media,” in First International Congress on Adhesion Science and Technology: Festschrift in Honor of Dr. K.L. Mittal on the Occasion of his 50th Birthday, W.J. van Ooij and H.R. Anderson Jr., eds., 49-62, VSP, Dec 1998.

Lifshitz-van der Waals (LW) and Lewis acid-base (AB), together with electrostatic (EL) forces are the non-covalent forces acting in adhesion in condensed phase media, such that the work of adhesion, VEadh= WLW+ WAB+ WEL. In the case of serum albumin (SA) and glass surfaces or silica particles, on a macroscopic scale, WEW> 0, WAB< 0 and WEL< 0, so that W'ddh is negative, ie repulsive. Nonetheless, in aqueous media, at neutral pH, SA adheres to glass surfaces, as well as to silica particles. It may be hypothesized that on a microscopic level, negatively charged, electron-donating SA moieties, located on prominent sites with a small radius of curvature, can penetrate the macroscopic repulsion field and bind to electron-accepting cations imbedded in the glass surfaces (Ca ions) or in silica particles (Si ions). The correctness of the hypothesis is supported by the fact that all adhering SA can be desorbed from, say, silica particles with Na2-EDTA. Furthermore, energy vs. distance diagrams demonstrate that the more prominently located SA sites with a small radius of curvature should indeed be able to overcome the macroscopic repulsion field and to adhere locally to microscopic cationic sites in the glass or silica. Thus, energy vs. distance balances of the extended DLVO type (including AB as well as LW and EL forces), combining macroscopic and microscopic interactions, can be used to predict adhesion in complex systems.
