Surfactant Induced Nucleation in Supersaturated Vapors

摘要

The roles of fluoroalcohols in enhancing the binary clusters with water as compared to aliphatic alcohols, and in lowering the barrier to homogeneous nucleation have been investigated. The results suggest that fluorocarbons in the gas phase can be used to lower the surface tension of the condensation nuclei in supersaturated vapors, and therefore enhance the rate of homogeneous nucleation.
