1.4 Work of adhesion and cohesion

If two phases (α and β) in contact are pulled apart inside a third phase ω, the original interface is destroyed and two new interfaces are formed (see Figure as shown below).

The work energy per unit area in performing this operation is called the work of adhesion, W_αβ. There is a contribution from each interface removed from or added to the system:

W_αβ = ?γ _αβ + γ _αω + γ _βω.                                                    (1.10)

If, instead of two distinct phases, a column of a single liquid is pulled apart, the work of cohesion is:

W_αα = 2γ _αω                                                                 (1.11)

as γ _αα≡ 0.

When one of the phases is a solid, the expression for work of adhesion (Eq. 1.10) can be combined with the equation for the contact angle (Eq. 1.2). Dupré, in 1869, combined them to give the Young–Dupré equation:

W_LS = γ _VL + γ _VS ? γ _LS = γ _VL(1 + cosθ).                                     (1.12)

Equation (1.12) shows that contact angle is a thermodynamic quantity, which can be related to the work of adhesion and interfacial free energy terms. Its significance is that it relates the work of adhesion to the readily measured quantities, γ_VL and θ, rather than to the inaccessible interfacial tensions involving the solid surface. When θ values are small, the work of adhesion is high and considerable energy must be spent to separate the solid from the liquid. If θ= 0°, then W^a _SL = 2γ_LV; if θ= 90°, then W^a_SL = γ_LV, and if θ= 180°, then W^a _SL= 0, which means that no work needs to be done to separate a completely spherical mercury drop from a solid surface (or a water drop from a super-hydrophobic polymer surface), and indeed these drops roll down very easily even with a 1° inclination angle of the flat substrate.

We note that in Eq. 1.10, 1.11, and 1.12 the definition of work (and symbol W) is different from that usually used as it is work per unit area (Everett, 1972, p. 597). The units are therefore J /m² (= N /m) compared with J.

1.5 Young-Laplace equation

We will choose to think of γ in terms of energy per unit area. In the absence of gravitational or other fields, a soap bubble is spherical, as this is the shape of minimum surface area for an enclosed volume. A soap bubble of radius r has a total surface free energy of 4πr^2γ and, if the radius were to decrease by d _r, then the change in surface free energy would be 8πrγd _r. Since shrinking decreases the surface energy, the tendency to do so must be balanced by a pressure difference across the film ΔP such that the work against this pressure difference ΔP 4πr²d_r is just equal to the decrease in surface free energy. Thus:

ΔP 4πr²d_r =8πrγd _r                                                            (1.13)

          Or

Equation 1.10 is a special case of a more general relationship that is the basic equation of capillarity and was given in 1805 by Young and by Laplace. In general, it is necessary to invoke two radii of curvature to describe a curved surface; these are equal for a sphere, but not necessarily otherwise. A small section of an arbitrarily curved surface is shown in Fig.1-9. The two radii of curvature, R_I and R₂, are indicated in the figure, and the section of surface taken is small enough so that R_I and R₂ are essentially constant. Now if the surface is displaced a small distance outward, the change in area will be

    ΔΑ=(x+d_x)(y+d_y)-xy=xd_y+yd_x                                                   (1.15)

The work done in forming this additional amount of surface is then

Work= γ(xd_y+yd_x)                                                            (1.16)

There will be a pressure difference ΔP across the surface; It acts on the area xy and through a distance d_z. The corresponding work is thus

Work=ΔPxyd_z                                                                (1.17)

From a comparison of similar triangles, it follows that

 or                                                              (1.18)

And

 or                                                              (1.19)

If the surface is to be in mechanical equilibrium, the two work terms as given must be equal, and on equating them and substituting in the expressions for dx and dy, the final result obtained is

                   (1.20)

Equation 11-7 is the fundamental equation of capillarity and is well known as Young-Laplace equation. [9]

It is apparent that Eq. 1.20 reduces to Eq. 1.14 for the case of both radii being equal, as is true for a sphere. For a plane surface, the two radii are each infinite and ΔP is therefore zero; Thus there is no pressure difference across a plane surface.
