Mechanical and thermodynamic properties of surfactant aggregates at the solid–liquid interface
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2004 Surfactants are widely used to stabilize colloidal systems in a variety of industrial applications through the formation of self-assembled aggregates at the solid-liquid interface. Previous studies have reported that the control of surfactant-mediated slurry stability can be achieved through the manipulation of surfactant chain length and concentration.

Dependence of Heat Transport in Solids on Length-Scale, Pressure, and Temperature: Implications for Mechanisms and Thermodynamics [PDF]
Materials, 2021 Accurate laser-flash measurements of thermal diffusivity (D) of diverse bulk solids at moderate temperature (T), with thickness L of ~0.03 to 10 mm, reveal that D(T) = D∞(T)[1 − exp(−bL)]. When L is several mm, D∞(T) = FT−G + HT, where F is constant, G is ~1 or 0, and H (for insulators) is ~0.001. The attenuation parameter b = 6.19D∞−0.477 at 298 K for

Physicochemical Mechanics and Nonequilibrium Chemical Thermodynamics
, 2023 Equilibrium thermodynamics answers the question, “by how much?” Nonequilibrium thermodynamics answers the question “how fast?” The physicochemical mechanics approach presented in this article answers both of these questions.

Second law of thermodynamics and the failure of rock materials [PDF]
, 2001 The relation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics to some failure and fracture theories of rock mechanics is investigated. The basic concepts are given to connect failure to the properties of material equations describing the elastic properties.

Mechanical Proof of the Second Law of Thermodynamics Based on Volume Entropy [PDF]
, 2007 In a previous work (M. Campisi. Stud. Hist. Phil. M. P. 36 (2005) 275-290) we have addressed the mechanical foundations of equilibrium thermodynamics on the basis of the Generalized Helmholtz Theorem.

Heat-exchange statistics in driven open quantum systems
New Journal of Physics, 2014 As the dimensions of physical systems approach the nanoscale, the laws of thermodynamics must be reconsidered due to the increased importance of fluctuations and quantum effects.

Incommensurate Crystallization of Neutron Matter in Neutron Stars
East European Journal of Physics, 2020 The composition of the neutron stars from its surface region, outer-core, inner-core, and to its center is still being investigated. One can only surmise on the properties of neutron stars from the spectroscopic data that may be available from time to ...

Hot and Heavy Matters in the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
, 2010 Are the generalizations of classical equilibrium thermodynamics true of self-gravitating systems? This question has not been addressed from a foundational perspective, but here I tackle it through a study of the "paradoxes" commonly said to afflict such ...
