Bonding interactions
What are bonding interactions?
34
Intermolecular interactions Lifschitz-van der Waals-forces (LW).
These occur between all atoms and molecules. They are due to correlation between the electromagnetic fields created around molecules due to the distribution and motions of electrons within them (permanent and fluctuating dipole moments)
Acid-Base interactions, AB)
Interactions between electrophilic and nucleophilic groups
*Only the LW forces are of importance at distances larger than a few Å
Electrostatic interactions and electrical double layer forces are also long range interactions
35
36
Lifshitz- van der Waals interaction between neutral molecules 1 and 2
The interaction is electromagnetic, it is always attractive and it occurs between all molecules
r12
A, B = coefficients that depend on molecular dipole moments, polarisabilities and temperature
r12 = intermolecular distance
U = interaction energy
A general equation for the interaction energy is
When r is larger than a few molecular diameters, the interaction becomes negligible

B

37
Acid-base interactions
Lewis’ acids and bases• Acid: a group that tends to receive electron• Base: a group that tends to donate electron
Acid-base interactions are of importance only at very short distances (0,1 - 0,5 nm) but are of essential importance for the adhesion between
surfaces Example: plasma treatment of cellulose

Surface energy of materials
• For solids, actual surface energy often depends on the history of the surface
• Surface energy = the work of the cleavage, it can depend on how material is cleaved

Contact Angle
The contact angle can be measured relatively easily, but both absolute
values of angles and reproducibility of measurements are influenced by
porosity and surface heterogeneity
The most common way to measure the surface energy of solids
A liquid that does not completely wet a surface forms a finite contact angle on it
At equilibrium
gsg = gls + glgcosq (Young’s equation)
glg

q = contact angle

θ – contact angle. g -total surface tension,gd-Lifshitz van der Waals component, g+-Electron acceptor component, g- Electron donor component. The subscript ‘S’ and ‘L’ stand for solid surface and liquid respectively.
