  2. 1. Surface interactions and adsorbate structures : An atomic force microscopy study

    Author : Goran Bogdanovic; KTH; []
    Keywords : atomic force microscope; AFM; cantilever calibration; colloidal probe; surface force; force curve; friciton; hydrophobic; adhesion; roughness; multilayer; silica; cellulose; cationic polyelectrolyte; MAPTAC;

    Abstract : Atomic force microscopy, AFM, was used for studying somecurrent topics in the field of surface and colloid science. Themain topics addressed in this thesis were: the nature of thelong-range attraction between hydrophobic surfaces; slidingfriction behavior for microscopic contacts; and interfacialstructuring of polyelectrolyte-nanoparticle multilayerfilms.

  4. 2. Wettability and Agglomeration Characteristics of Non-Metallic Inclusions

    Author : Changji Xuan; Pär Jönsson; Lauri Holappa; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wettability; non-metallic inclusion; agglomeration mechanism; attraction force; complex deoxidation; particle addition; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : In this thesis, both the wettability and the agglomeration characteristics of non-metallic inclusions in liquid iron/steel were studied by using both experimental results and thermodynamic considerations. The mechanisms of the wettability of different types of inclusions were discussed. READ MORE

  5. 3. An Essay on Thomas Reid´s Philosophy of Science

    Author : Robert Callergård; Dugald Murdoch; Ryan Nichols; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Newton; newtonianism; Regulae Philosophandi; physics; constant conjunction; hypothesis; ether; force; efficient cause; simplicity; explanation; law; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi;

    Abstract : Though generally recognized as a formative force in his philosophy, Thomas Reid’s Newtonianism and his philosophy of science has not received due attention among scholars. My aim is to inaugurate a detailed survey. In ch. READ MORE

  6. 4. Interactions between non-polar surfaces in water: Fokus on talc, pitch and surface roughness effects

    Author : Viveca Wallqvist; Per Claesson; Janne Laine; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Talc; surface forces; capillary attraction; hydrophobic interaction; pitch control; wetting agent; dispersing agent; adsorption; imbibition; absorption; permeation; atomic force microscopy; colloidal probe; Hamaker constant; surface roughness; nanostructure.; Talk; kapillärattraktion; ytkrafter; hydrofob växelverkan; hartskontroll; vätningsmedel; dispergeringsmedel; adsorption; uppsugning; absorption; permeabilitet; atomkraftsmikroskopi; kolloidal partikel; Hamakerkonstant; ytråhet; nanostrukturerad yta.; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis work was to gain understanding of the interactions between talc mineral and surfaces, liquids and chemicals relevant for industrial applications, such as pulp and paper. Talc is used in the pulp and paper industry as a filler pigment, in control of pitch (lipophilic extractives) deposits and as a coating pigment. READ MORE

  7. 5. Attraction Based Models of Collective Motion

    Author : Daniel Strömbom; David J. T. Sumpter; Andreas Deutsch; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flocking; swarming; self-propelled particles; alignment-free models; agent-based modelling; leaf-cutting ant traffic; sheep-sheepdog system; the Shepherding problem; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : Animal groups often exhibit highly coordinated collective motion in a variety of situations. For example, bird flocks, schools of fish, a flock of sheep being herded by a dog and highly efficient traffic on an ant trail. READ MORE
