Abstract

Kelvin equation is revisited, which accounts for important phenomena observed frequently in nano-dispersion systems. They include vapor pressure increase for curved interfaces, nucleation, capillary condensation, Ostwald ripening and so on. The smaller the radius of curvature is, the more significant Kelvin equation becomes. Therefore, its meaning, curvature effect, and importance are examined and discussed.
