要旨

Experimental data are compared with computer simulation of interactions between two colloidal particles in a laminar shear field, when one particle is fixed to a wall and a second particle is freely mobile in the shear field in the narrow gap formed by a second parallel, moving wall. Both colloidal and hydrodynamic interactions are taken into account in simulating the scattering of the mobile particle by the fixed particle. A detailed explanation is given of the experimental procedure required to perform and observe such particle collisions successfully, in order to extract the information required to compare with the simulated results. Polystyrene latex particles and oil droplets of diameter ca. 5 μm, stabilised by pure β-casein, αs1-casein, sodium caseinate or gelatine, were studied in water over a range of pH values and ionic strengths. Within experimental error, the scattering in these systems could not be detected as varying markedly, due mainly to random noise introduced by Brownian motion, in agreement with the simulation results for a wide range of DLVO plus simple steric-type colloidal interaction potentials. It is concluded that the dynamic steric interactions for all the different protein layers, as measured by this technique, may be quite similar, or that a more complex type of dynamic interaction may be involved.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
