A Process Model for Latex Film Formation:  Limiting Regimes for Individual Driving Forces

Abstract

With the definition of the stress relaxation modulus, eq 8, and the viscous limit defined in eq 26, we err from the definition of a Newtonian fluid by a factor of 2. To correct this, we insert the factor 2 into subsequent equations.This changes the classical limits: Viscous particle sintering because of surface tension, eq 27, for comparison with eq 1 becomes Equation 29for elastic particles compressed by a force F, for comparison with eq 2, becomesForce free elastic particles under surface tension deform according to This should be compared with eq 3.Equation 16 should, from dimensional arguments, read
