What is "the disjoining pressure" and What is "the Hamaker function".
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Where did you read about these concepts ?
Can you give a reference to a text where they appeared ?

This paper might help to explain the Hamaker function (and Hamaker equation, Hamaker constants).
http://colloids.mse.uiuc.edu/research/acers_article.pdf

The process of EPD is described by Hamaker's equation, which relates the instantaneous yield rate with the electric field.

As for disjoining pressure - see "http://scitation.aip.org/getabs/servlet/GetabsServlet?prog=normal&id=JAPIAU000098000012124906000001&idtype=cvips&gifs=yes "

Also see - Lifsh!tz theory (where ! = i, in order to avoid auto-censor :rolleyes:)

van der Waals Interaction, Surface Free Energies, and Contact Angles: Dispersive Polymers and Liquids
http://www.ms.unimelb.edu.au/~dyc/pdfs/115.pdf

which mentions Lifsh!tz theory and Hamaker equation and constants.

See also - On the calculation of disjoining pressure isotherms for nonaqueous films.
