Formation and role of colloid material structures and surfaces in chemical reaction system: Part II

Abstract

In a thermodynamically open, non-isotherm, non-continuous, multicomponent, initially homogeneously distributed chemical reaction system far from equilibrium, quasi-stationary states and a heterogeneous spatial structure divided by surface boundaries may emerge spontaneously by self-organisation. This structure emerges, evolves and devolves over time as chemical reactions are completed. During this process, reactants segregate themselves in space, the rate of the mass transport and the chemical process partly decreases, both processes become periodic, new types of material exchange mechanisms unusual in inanimate nature arise, and feedback and self-regulation occur which promote the survival of the structure produced. Roles of boundary surfaces and solubility in generation of new type periodic or cyclic phenomena were discussed.
