This paper reports on investigations conducted with a view towards developing a theoretical model for wave propagation across solid-fluid interfaces with fluid-structure interaction. Although many studies have been conducted, the mechanism of wave propagation close to the solid-fluid interface remains unclear. Consequently, our aim is to clarify the mechanism of wave propagation across the solid-fluid interface with fluid-structure interaction and develop a theoretical model to explain this phenomenon. In experiments conducted to develop the theory, a free-falling steel projectile is used to impact the top of a solid buffer placed immediately above the surface of water within a polycarbonate tube. The stress waves created as a result of the impact of the projectile propagated through the buffer and reached the interface of the buffer and water (fluid) in the tube. Two different buffers (polycarbonate and aluminum) were used to examine the interaction effects. The results of the experiments indicated that the amplitude of the interface pressure increased in accordance with the characteristic impedance of the solid medium. This cannot be explained by the classical theory of wave reflection and transmission. Thus, it is clear that on the solid-fluid interface with fluid-structure interaction, classical theories alone cannot precisely predict the generated pressure.

Non-densely packed interfacial monolayers from charged micrometre-sized colloid particles find applications for producing micropatterned surfaces. The soft electrostatic repulsion between the particles in a monolayer on an air/water (or oil/water) interface is mediated by the non-polar fluid, where Debye screening is absent and the distances between the particles are considerably greater than their diameters. Surface pressure versus area isotherms were measured at the air/water interface. The experiments show that asymptotically the surface pressure is inversely proportional to the third power of the interparticle distance. A theoretical model is developed that predicts not only the aforementioned asymptotic law but also the whole surface pressure versus area dependence. An increase in the surface pressure upon aggregation of charged particles in the interfacial monolayers is experimentally established. This effect is explained by the developed theoretical model, which predicts that the surface pressure should linearly increase with the square root of the particle mean aggregation number. The effect of added electrolyte on the aggregation is also investigated. The data lead to the conclusion that ‘limited aggregation’ exists in the monolayers of charged particles. In brief, the stronger electrostatic repulsion between the bigger aggregates leads to a higher barrier to their coalescence that, in turn, prevents any further aggregation, i.e. negative feedback is present. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Soft interfacial materials: from fundamentals to formulation’.

ABSTRACTThis article involves the study of the electrodeposition of composite coatings that form when colloidal particles deposit onto an electrode at which metal electrodeposition simultaneously occurs. The codeposition process of polystyrene (PS) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles from a copper plating bath on a rotating disk electrode (rde) was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The influence of the fluid flow velocity, density, mean size and zeta-potential of the particles, viscosity and temperature of the plating bath on the deposition rate of particles is studied using the theoretical model. The predictions of the model are compared with experimental results.
