Critical adsorbing properties in slits predicted by traditional polymer adsorption theories on Ising lattice
The critical adsorbing properties in slits and three-dimension (3D) phase transitions can be predicted by either Freed theory or Flory-Huggins theory. The mean field approximation in Flory-Huggins theory may cause apparent system errors, from which one can observe two-dimension (2D) phase transition...

Summary: | The critical adsorbing properties in slits and three-dimension (3D) phase transitions can be predicted by either Freed theory or Flory-Huggins theory. The mean field approximation in Flory-Huggins theory may cause apparent system errors, from which one can observe two-dimension (2D) phase transitions although it is not true. Monte Carlo simulation has demonstrated that Freed theory is more suitable for predicting adsorbing properties of fluids in slits than Flory-Huggins theory. It was found that from Freed theory prediction multilevel adsorption occurs in slits and the spreading pressure curves exhibit binodal points. |
