    Notes: Abstract Most discussions of the relationships between crystal solubility and particle size have hitherto been concerned with vapor condensation and have led to the prediction that the vapor pressure increases with curvature. Here, thermodynamic arguments are presented to show that such relationships, describing crystal solubility as a function of particle size, originally put forward by Ostwald and later corrected by Freundlich, may be unjustified for determining interfacial tension at solid–liquid interfaces. The Kelvin or Gibbs–Thomson equations are valid for liquid–vapor systems, but not for solid–liquid interfaces. Recent experimental observations have demonstrated that interfacial tension data obtained by the solubility–size approach are unreasonable. This leads to the conclusion that “Ostwald ripening” may not be due to a higher solubility of smaller crystals, but rather to a net negative interfacial tension between solid and solution.

    Heterogeneous nucleation of calcium phosphates on solid surfaces in aqueous solution (1997)

    Notes: The heterogeneous nucleation of calcium phosphates on solid surfaces of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly-(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP), silicone rubber, mica, and radiofrequency glow discharge (RFGD)-treated PMMA, FEP, and silicone rubber has been studied in solutions supersaturated with respect to hydroxyapatite. The surface properties of the substrates were characterized by contact angle measurements. For the RFGD-treated surfaces, the Lifshitz-Van der Waals surface tension component changes very little, but the Lewis acid-base surface tension parameters vary greatly depending upon the materials. With scanning electron microscopy, nucleation of calcium phosphates was observed only on the surfaces: mica, RFGD-treated PMMA and FEP, with relatively high values of the Lewis base surface tension parameter. The more hydrophobic surfaces having low Lewis acid-base surface tensions, untreated PMMA and FEP, silicone rubber, and even RFGD-treated silicone rubber showed no nucleation. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
