It is investigated that the surface properties of mercaptopyruvic-acid layer formed on gold surfaces may make an effect on the distribution of either gold particle adsorbed to the zirconia surface or vice versa. For the investigation, the atomic force microscope was used to measure the surface forces between the surfaces as a function of the salt concentration and pH value. The forces were quantitatively analyzed with the derjaguin-landau-verwey-overbeek (DLVO) theory to estimate the electrostatic properties, potential and charge density, of the surfaces for each condition of salt concentration and pH value. The estimatedvalue dependence on the salt concentration was explained with the law of mass action, and the pH dependence was interpreted with the ionizable groups on the surface. The salt concentration dependence of the surface properties, found from the measurement at pH 4 and 8, was predictable from the law. It was found that the mercaptopyruvic-acid layer had higher values for the surface charge densities and potentials than the zirconia surfaces at pH 4 and 8, which may be attributed to the ionizedfunctional-groups of the mercaptopyruvic-acid layer.

Slowly cooled $Cu_xFe_{3-x}O_4$ ($\chi$=0.1, 0.2) have been investigated over a temperature range from 82 to 700 K using the M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer technique. X-ray diffraction shows that these have a single-phase cubic spinel structure of lattice parameters $\alpha$=8.396 and 8.398${\AA}$, respectively. Since Cu ions prefer B (octahedral) sites to A (tetrahedral) sites, the ionic distribution is $(Fe)_A[Fe_{2-x}Cu_x]_BO_4$. M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra consisted of two sets of 6-line pattern from. A site in ferric state and B site in ferrous-ferric state. Intensity ratio of B to A subspectra is 1.0 at 82 K and increases to 2.0 at 700 K with increasing temperature. After annealing the samples under vacuum at $450^circ{C}$ for a half hour, x-ray diffraction patterns have the peaks of magnetite- and hematite-phase. Lattice constants of magnetite-phase are 8.395 and 8.392 ${\AA}$ smaller than 8.396 and 8.398 ${\AA}$ before annealing, respectively. M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra reveal the conventional magnetite pattern with the additional hematite pattern. Intensity ratios of B to A subspectra fur magnetite-phase become 1.9-2.0 over all temperature ranges and Cu ions are distributed over A and B sites randomly. Ratios of hematite to total intensity in M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra for $\chi$= 0.1 and $\chi$= 0.2 are 10 and 21%, respectively. These hematite ratios may be due to annealing under vacuum at $450^circ{C}$, which transforms $Cu^{2+}$ ionic states into $Cu^{1+}$. Verwey temperatures far $\chi$= 0.1 and $\chi$= 0.2 are $123\pm2$ K and $128\pm2$ K.

The coating N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on gold surfaces may be used to design the distribution of either gold particle adsorbed to the $ZrO_2$ surface or vice versa by adjusting the electrostatic interactions. In this study, it was performed to find out electrostatic properties of the NAC-coated-gold surface and the $ZrO_2$ surface. The surface forces between the surfaces were measured as a function of the salt concentration and pH value using the AFM. By applying the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory to the surface forces, the surface potential and charge density of the surfaces were quantitatively acquired for each salt concentration and each pH value. The dependence of the potential and charge density on the concentration was explained with the law of mass action, and the pH dependence was with the ionizable groups on the surface.

The effect on the apparent viscosity of 2 wt. % Veegum suspensions of different types of electrolytes and of different electrolyte concentrations was studied. Measurements were made with a Brookfield Synchro-Lectric Viscometer, using no.3 spindle at 30 R.P.M. at $24^{\circ}C$. As electriolyte concentration increased, the apparant viscosity was observed to increase to a maximum and then to decrease. Changes in viscosity were in general agreement with predicted results based on the Hofmeister sequence and the Schulze-Hardy rule. The observed electrolyte effect on the apparent viscosity was discussed in terms of the Verwey-Overbeek theory.

Dependence of the flow behavior of aqueous suspension of Black Hills bentonite on the concentration and the types of electrolytes was stydied. The flow properties were measured with a Couette-type totational viscometer. On addition of monovalent cations, the apparent viscosity determined from the reproducible flow curves (shear rate vs. shear stress) decreased followed by a rise as the ionic concentration further increased. Addition of multivalent cations (di- and tri-) resulted in the viscosity which increased to a maximum then decreased to a constant value. Anions of different chatges produced essentially the same relationship between viscosity and electrolyte concentration. The flow behavior of the electrolyte-containing suspensions was rationalized in terms of the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory of colloidal stability and the generalized theory of viscosity.

A simple empirical model with good quantitative prediction of inter-particle and intra-particle distance in a cake layer with respect to ionic strength was developed. The model is an inverse length scale with functions of interaction energy and hydrodynamic factor and it explains that the inter-particle and intra-particle distance in a cake is directly related to the effective size of particles. Particle compressibility with respect to ionic strength was also predicted by the model. The model corroborated very well with experimental results of polystyrene microsphere latex particles microfiltation in a dead end operation. From the results of the model, specific cake resistance could be controlled by the same variables affecting the height of particle energy barrier described by the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory.

We studied effects of the 11-Mercaptoundecylphosphoric-acid layer formation on gold surfaces that have the interactions with the titanium dioxide surface for design of gold- titanium dioxide distribution. The atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to measure forces between the surfaces as a function of the salt concentration and pH value. The forces were analyzed with the DLVO (Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek) theory, to evaluate the potential and charge density of the surfaces quantitatively for each salt concentration and each pH value. The interpretation for the evaluation was performed with the law of mass action and the ionizable groups on the surface.

Some cytotoxicity studies for the interpretation of the interaction between nanoparticles and cells are non-mechanistic and time-consuming. Therefore, non-biological screening methods, which are faster and simpler than in-vivo and in-vitro methods, are required as alternatives to current cytotoxicity tests. Here, we proposed a simple screening method for the analysis of the interaction between several AgNPs (bare-, citrate-, and polyvinylpyrrolidone-coating) and dye-containing vesicles acting as a biomimetic cell-membrane. The interaction between AgNPs and vesicles could be evaluated readily by UV-vis spectra. Absorbance deviation in UV-vis spectra revealed a large attraction between neighboring particles and vesicles. This was confirmed by (Derjagin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek) theory and DMF (dark-field microscopy) analysis. This proposed method might be useful for analyzing the cytotoxicity of nanoparticles with cell-membranes instead of in vitro or in vivo cytotoxicity tests.
