Molecular Diffusion Across Particle Boundaries

  • Chapter
Fundamentals of Latex Film Formation

Part of the book series: Springer Laboratory ((SPLABORATORY))

Abstract

In the previous chapters, we have reviewed how particles pack together during the drying process and why they become deformed from their initial spherical shape. Yet, the film formation process does not stop there: an important third stage follows.

In 1958, only a few years after the theories of particle deformation were first proposed (as outlined in Chapter 4), Voyutskiĭ published his reaction to this previous work. His short paper contained some impressive insights but did not have quantitative experiments to support them. His ideas foreshadowed many of the future experimental developments that will be presented in this chapter.
