Range in solid surface for liquid-liquid phase separation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the complexities of calculating the free energy change associated with nucleation on solid surfaces during liquid-liquid phase separation. It emphasizes that without detailed information about the specific system, including the thermodynamic properties of the involved liquids and solid surfaces, accurate calculations cannot be performed. Participants highlight the necessity of understanding these properties to derive meaningful results in this context.

I am investigating the nucleation on solid surface during liquid-liquid phase separation,
I know the free energy change is

Without more information, it is not possible to calculate the free energy change associated with nucleation on solid surfaces during liquid-liquid phase separation. The exact calculation would depend on the specific system being studied, and would require detailed knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of both liquids and the solid surface.
