    Notes: The role of a uniform electric field on the deformation and orientation of a liquid capsule with a viscoelastic membrane is considered analytically in the small deformation limit. The capsule is freely suspended either in a quiescent fluid or in a shear flow. The viscoelasticity of the membrane is taken into account by the Kelvin–Voigt model and the electrohydrodynamic flow is analyzed on the basis of the leaky dielectric model. In this article, we consider three different prototype models of capsules; viz., a neo-Hookean (incompressible isotropic) membrane, a red blood cell-type (area-preserving) membrane, and an interfacial-tension droplet. The deformed capsule shape from its initial sphericity and its orientaion are determined from the linearized governing equations and boundary conditions in the limit of small deformations. The asymptotic theory shows that the degree of capsule deformation induced by a uniform electric field alone is independent of the surface viscosity of the capsule as well as the viscosity ratio between the two fluids inside and outside the capsule. Meanwhile, in the presence of an imposed shear flow, the degree of deformation depends on the surface viscosity with preserving still the independence of the viscosity ratio. For an illustrative purpose, experimental results for the role of a uniform electric field on the orientation of an interfacial-tension droplet in a shear flow are discussed briefly. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this article, we investigated the electrohydrodynamic responses of a deformable fluid drop in another immiscible fluid under the action of a dc electric field. Both the ambient and drop fluids considered here were incompressible Newtonian and all of the drop phases were less conductive than their ambient fluids. Under these circumstances, the drops experienced the so-called electrorotation owing to the reverse dipole generated by the external electric field when the electric field strength exceeded a certain threshold value. The experimental observation showed that the threshold electric field strength was dependent on the drop size as well as the viscosity ratio. Also noted was the effect of the electrorotation on both the deformation behavior and the mode of the drop breakup. Specifically, we determined the critical electric capillary number beyond which the steady-state drop shape did not exist and the drop eventually broke up. Finally, the validity of Taylor's leaky dielectric theory was discussed in the presence of the electrorotation of the drop. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: One of general free boundary problems concerning the electrohydrodynamic effects on a concentric double emulsion drop is studied theoretically for the three constituent phases of leaky dielectric fluids. In order to proceed the problem analytically, the domain perturbation procedure is utilized in the small deformation limit. The patterns of electric-field-driven flow are successfully characterized by examining the distribution of induced surface charges at the inner and outer drop interfaces. The second recirculating flow is generated in the annular phase when the inner and outer interfaces are charged with the same sense. The deformation type of inner and outer interfaces can be roughly interpreted by the flow patterns, although the exact description on the deformation requires consideration of the combined contributions from both electric and flow fields. In addition, the presence of double emulsion droplets alters the stress field of the continuous phase. The electric-field-induced "particle stress" not only changes the effective viscosity of dispersion of the double emulsion droplets but yields the normal stress difference, which is typical of a viscoelastic fluid. Finally, the heat transfer rate enhanced by the electric-field-driven flow is also considered. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The hydrodynamic force on a spherical drop that undergoes a translational acceleration in an unbounded fluid at low Reynolds number is considered. The force involves a memory-integral contribution that is not of the familiar form for a solid sphere. This result, in conjunction with the prior results of Lawrence and Weinbaum [J. Fluid Mech. 171, 208 (1986)] for a nonspherical particle, suggest that the form of the force law for a solid sphere is a very special case that is invalidated if there are any departures in either rigidity or shape from a solid sphere. In this Brief Communication the force on a spherical drop is evaluated for a number of limiting cases, after transforming the result from the Fourier-transform domain in which it is derived to the time domain.

    Notes: Abstract In this study, silica-based organic–inorganic hybrid coating materials were prepared by the sol–gel method. Tertaethoxysilane and polyvinyl alcohol were used as the inorganic and organic compounds, respectively. The substrate polypropylene film surface was modified by corona-plasma treatment to provide appropriate adhesion between the coating material and the polymer base film. A silane.coupling agent of vinyltriethoxysilane was also used to improve the adhesion between the base film and the coated layer. The effects of vinyltriethoxysilane in the hybrid materials were investigated using Fourier transform infrared analyses and X-ray diffraction. The vinyl group of vinyltriethoxysilane increased the hydrophobicity of the hybrid materials. The polypropylene films coated with the hybrid materials were characterized by examining their morphology, optical transparency and oxygen permeability. The results showed that the formation of hydrogen bonds between polyvinyl alcohol and the other compounds affected the microstructure of the coating solution and the final oxygen permeation property. Further, although the presence ofvinyltriethoxysilane in the hybrid coating solution could improve adhesion between the coated layer and the polymer base film, it deteriorates the effectiveness of the barrier to prevent of oxygen permeation through the coated film. However, the coated film maintained visible transparency and even enhanced the transmission of long wavelength visible-light owing to refractive index matching.

    Notes: The paper consides the effects of compatibilization with maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) on the propertie of immiscible blends of polypropylene (PP) and nylon 6 (N6). We prepared the blends by three different mixing processes; single-step blending, two-step blending with reactive premixing, and two-step blending with nonreactive premixing, to determine the effective mixiing process for fine morphological structure thermal stability, and mechanical properties. Dynamic melt reheological properties were measured to examine the modification of elastic properties by the compatibilizer. In addtion, thermal analysis was also carried out to detect the change in crystallization and thereby to probe the degree of compatibilizaton. The results show that compatibilized blends prepared by teh single-step process exhibit improved phase morphology, thermal stability, and mechanical properties for dried conditions, compared with other blend types. Finally, the water absorption test indicates that the added compatibilizer yields enhanced water resistance in spite of the strong intrinsic hydrophilicity of N6. In particular, two-step blending with reactive premixing is most effective in improving water resistance and reducing degradation of mechanical properties after moisture absorption.
