QCM-D Investigations of Anisotropic Particle Deposition Kinetics: Evidences of the Hydrodynamic Slip Mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: Deposition kinetics of positively charged polymer microparticles, characterized by prolate spheroid shape, at silica and gold sensors was investigated using the quartz microbalance (QCM) technique. Reference measurements were also performed for positively charged polymer particles of spherical shape and the same mass as the spheroids. Primarily, the frequency and bandwidth shifts for various overtones were measured as a function of time. It is shown that the ratio of these signals is close to unity for all overtones. These results were converted to the dependence of the frequency shift on the particle coverage, directly determined by atomic force microscopy and theoretically interpreted in terms of the hydrodynamic model. A quantitative agreement with experiments was attained considering particle slip relative to the ambient oscillating flow. In contrast, the theoretical results pertinent to the rigid contact model proved inadequate. The particle deposition kinetics derived from the QCM method was compared with theoretical modeling performed according to the random sequential adsorption approach. This allowed to assess the feasibility of the QCM technique to furnish proper deposition kinetics for anisotropic particles. It is argued that the hydrodynamic slip effect should be considered in the interpretation of QCM kinetic results acquired for bioparticles, especially viruses.

Hydrodynamic Solvent Coupling Effects in Quartz Crystal Microbalance Measurements of Nanoparticle Deposition Kinetics.

Project description:Hydrodynamic coupling effects pertinent to quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) investigation of nanoparticle adsorption kinetics were evaluated using atomic force microscopy and the theoretical modeling. Monodisperse polymer particles of the size between 26 and 140 nm and the density of 1.05 g cm-3 were used. The ζ-potential of particles was opposite to the substrate ζ-potential that promoted their irreversible adsorption on the silica sensor. The experimental kinetic data were interpreted in terms of theoretical calculations derived from the hybrid random sequential adsorption model. This allowed us to determine the amount of hydrodynamically coupled solvent (electrolyte) for the absolute particle coverage range up to 0.5. The coupling function representing the ratio of the solvent to the particle volumes was also determined and used to explicitly calculate the solvent level in particle monolayers. It is shown that the solvent level abruptly increases with the particle coverage attaining values comparable with the particle size. One can expect that these results can serve as useful reference data for the interpretation of protein adsorption kinetics on rough surfaces where the presence of stagnant solvent is inevitable.

Applicability of QCM-D for Quantitative Measurements of Nano- and Microparticle Deposition Kinetics: Theoretical Modeling and Experiments.

Project description:A new theoretical model is formulated for the quantitative analysis of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) response for heterogeneous loads consisting of nano- and microparticles. The influence of particle coverage and structure is described using a universal correction function in an ab initio manner. Explicit analytical expressions for the frequency and dissipation shifts are derived for the entire range of particle size under the rigid contact regime. The solvent coupling functions are also calculated to determine the dry coverage using the QCM measurements. These expressions furnish the upper limit of the QCM signal, which can be attained for a sensor providing perfect adhesion of particles. Correction functions accounting for the finite adhesion strength (soft contact regime) are also derived. The theoretical results are confronted with QCM and atomic force microscopy measurements of positively charged polymer particle deposition on silica sensors. The main features of the theoretical model are confirmed, especially the abrupt decrease in the QCM wet mass with the particle coverage and the overtone number. The latter effect is especially pronounced for microparticles under the soft contact regime, where the higher-number overtones produce a negligible QCM signal. These results represent a useful reference data for the interpretation of protein and bioparticles, for example, virus and bacteria attachment processes to various substrates.

Hydrodynamic mechanisms of cell and particle trapping in microfluidics.

Project description:Focusing and sorting cells and particles utilizing microfluidic phenomena have been flourishing areas of development in recent years. These processes are largely beneficial in biomedical applications and fundamental studies of cell biology as they provide cost-effective and point-of-care miniaturized diagnostic devices and rare cell enrichment techniques. Due to inherent problems of isolation methods based on the biomarkers and antigens, separation approaches exploiting physical characteristics of cells of interest, such as size, deformability, and electric and magnetic properties, have gained currency in many medical assays. Here, we present an overview of the cell/particle sorting techniques by harnessing intrinsic hydrodynamic effects in microchannels. Our emphasis is on the underlying fluid dynamical mechanisms causing cross stream migration of objects in shear and vortical flows. We also highlight the advantages and drawbacks of each method in terms of throughput, separation efficiency, and cell viability. Finally, we discuss the future research areas for extending the scope of hydrodynamic mechanisms and exploring new physical directions for microfluidic applications.

Hydrodynamic slip can align thin nanoplatelets in shear flow.

Project description:The large-scale processing of nanomaterials such as graphene and MoS2 relies on understanding the flow behaviour of nanometrically-thin platelets suspended in liquids. Here we show, by combining non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and continuum simulations, that rigid nanoplatelets can attain a stable orientation for sufficiently strong flows. Such a stable orientation is in contradiction with the rotational motion predicted by classical colloidal hydrodynamics. This surprising effect is due to hydrodynamic slip at the liquid-solid interface and occurs when the slip length is larger than the platelet thickness; a slip length of a few nanometers may be sufficient to observe alignment. The predictions we developed by examining pure and surface-modified graphene is applicable to different solvent/2D material combinations. The emergence of a fixed orientation in a direction nearly parallel to the flow implies a slip-dependent change in several macroscopic transport properties, with potential impact on applications ranging from functional inks to nanocomposites.

Hydrodynamic cavitation in Stokes flow of anisotropic fluids.

Project description:Cavitation, the nucleation of vapour in liquids, is ubiquitous in fluid dynamics, and is often implicated in a myriad of industrial and biomedical applications. Although extensively studied in isotropic liquids, corresponding investigations in anisotropic liquids are largely lacking. Here, by combining liquid crystal microfluidic experiments, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical arguments, we report flow-induced cavitation in an anisotropic fluid. The cavitation domain nucleates due to sudden pressure drop upon flow past a cylindrical obstacle within a microchannel. For an anisotropic fluid, the inception and growth of the cavitation domain ensued in the Stokes regime, while no cavitation was observed in isotropic liquids flowing under similar hydrodynamic parameters. Using simulations we identify a critical value of the Reynolds number for cavitation inception that scales inversely with the order parameter of the fluid. Strikingly, the critical Reynolds number for anisotropic fluids can be 50% lower than that of isotropic fluids.

Data on the anisotropic interfacial slip length over fibrous porous media.

Project description:To characterize the velocity slip at the fibrous porous media, data on the anisotropic slip length has been fully analyzed through direct simulations for various geometrical aspects of fiber architecture [2] ). This data article provides detailed slip lengths and slip coefficients in dimensionless form as a function of various geometrical parameters of fibrous porous media including the fiber volume fraction, the dimensionless void length and the normalized permeability. The data is presented for three different fiber packing structures (the quadrilateral, hexagonal and compressed hexagonal packing) in both the fiber and normal to fiber directions. Finally a set of curves from the complete fitted equation set are also provided in a single figure that can be used to estimate the slip length and the normalized permeability for a given fibrous porous media.

Active hydrodynamic imaging of a rigid spherical particle.

Project description:A body with mechanical sensors may remotely detect particles suspended in the surrounding fluid via controlled agitation. Here we propose a sensory mode that relies on generating unsteady flow and sensing particle-induced distortions in the flow field. We demonstrate the basic physical principle in a simple analytical model, which consists of a small spherical particle at some distance from a plate undergoing impulsive or oscillatory motion. The model shows that changes in pressure or shear on the plate can be used to infer the location and size of the sphere. The key ingredient is to produce strong shear or strain around the sphere, which requires careful tuning of the viscous boundary layer on the moving plate. This elucidates how some organisms and devices may control their unsteady dynamics to enhance their range of perception.

Hydrodynamic aspects of particle clogging in porous media.

Project description:Data from 6 filtration studies, representing 43 experiments, are analyzed with a simplified version of the single-parameter O'Melia and Ali clogging model. The model parameter displays a systematic dependence on fluid velocity, which was an independent variable in each study. A cake filtration model also explains the data from one filtration study by varying a single, velocity-dependent parameter, highlighting that clogging models, because they are empirical, are not unique. Limited experimental data indicate exponential depth dependence of particle accumulation, whose impact on clogging is quantified with an extended O'Melia and Ali model. The resulting two-parameter model successfully describes the increased clogging that is always observed in the top segment of a filter. However, even after accounting for particle penetration, the two-parameter model suggests that a velocity-dependent parameter representing deposit morphology must also be included to explain the data. Most of the experimental data are described by the single-parameter O'Melia and Ali model, and the model parameter is correlated to the collector Peclet number.

Slip flow through colloidal crystals of varying particle diameter.

Project description:Slip flow of water through silica colloidal crystals was investigated experimentally for eight different particle diameters, which have hydraulic channel radii ranging from 15 to 800 nm. The particle surfaces were silylated to be low in energy, with a water contact angle of 83°, as determined for a silylated flat surface. Flow rates through centimeter lengths of colloidal crystal were measured using a commercial liquid chromatograph for accurate comparisons of water and toluene flow rates using pressure gradients as high as 10(10) Pa/m. Toluene exhibited no-slip Hagen-Poiseuille flow for all hydraulic channel radii. For water, the slip flow enhancement as a function of hydraulic channel radius was described well by the expected slip flow correction for Hagen-Poiseuille flow, and the data revealed a constant slip length of 63 ± 3 nm. A flow enhancement of 20 ± 2 was observed for the smallest hydraulic channel radius of 15 nm. The amount of slip flow was found to be independent of shear rate over a range of fluid velocities from 0.7 to 5.8 mm/s. The results support the applicability of the slip flow correction for channel radii as small as 15 nm. The work demonstrates that packed beds of submicrometer particles enable slip flow to be employed for high-volume flow rates.

Theoretical investigations on mechanisms and kinetics of the CH3CFClO2· with ClO· reaction in the atmosphere.

Project description:The singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces of the ClO• radical reaction with the CH3CFClO2• radical have been investigated at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ level based on the optimized geometries at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. On the singlet potential energy surfaces (PES), the possible reaction involves association-dissociation, direct H-abstraction and Nucleophilic Substitution 2 (SN2) mechanisms. On the triplet PES, SN2 displacement and direct H-abstraction reaction pathways have been investigated, which are less competitive compared with the reaction pathways on the singlet PES. The rate constants have been calculated at 10-10 to 1010 atm and 200-3,000 K by Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) theory for the important product pathways. At 200-800 K, IM1 produced (CH3CFClOOOCl) by collisonal deactivation is dominant; at high temperatures, the production P1 (CH3CFO?+?ClOOCl) becomes dominate. The calculated rate constants for CH3CFClO2•?+?ClO• are good agreement with the available experimental value. The atmospheric lifetime of CH3CFClO2• in ClO• is around 3.27 h. TD-DFT computations imply that IM1 (CH3CFClOOOCl), IM2 (CH3CFClOOClO) and IM3 (CH3CFClOClO2) will photolyze under the sunlight.
