Mercury Bonding to Xerogel: The Interface Fractal Dynamics of the Interaction between Two Complex Systems

Abstract

This study describes novel solid substances founded on chitosan and TEGylated phenothiazine that have a high ability for hydrargyrum recovery from watery liquid solutions. These compounds were taken into account, consisting of two distinct entity interactions inside of the classic fractal dynamics conjecture of an “interface”. They were assimilated through fractal-type mathematical objects and judged as such. The bi-stable behavior of two fractally connected objects was demonstrated both numerically and graphically. The fractal character was demonstrated by the fractal analysis made using SEM images of the xerogel compounds with interstitial fixed hydrargyrum. For the first time, SEM helped to verify such samples from two distinct bodies, with the multifractal parameter values being listed in continuation. The fractal dimension of the rectangular mask is D1 = 1.604 ± 0.2798, the fractal dimension of the square mask is D2 = 1.596 ± 0.0460, and the lacunarity is 0.0402.
