Previous models, in which hydrodynamic interactions were disregarded, predicted a power-law behavior $t^{-2/3}$ for the time dependence of the coverage of the surface near saturation. Experiments, however, are in agreement with a power-law behavior of the form $t^{-1/2}$. We outline that, when hydrodynamic interactions are considered, the assymptotic behavior is found to be compatible with the experimental results in a wide region near saturation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-12-05T16:13:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hydrodynamic interactions", "colloidal particles adsorption", "power-law behavior", "saturation", "flat surface" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
