3D fractalization over natural colloidal microinclusions

Results of micro- and nanodimensional investigations into fractal structures arising in mineral water sediments prepared by the drop method are presented. The qualitative analysis of attendant physical processes makes it possible to formulate conditions for 3D fractalization, which take into account the sizes of colloidal particles, their distances to the center of the drop, and the height of the drop: $r_{\mathrm{min}}=R_{\mathrm{max}}=h_{\mathrm{max}}$ and $r_{\mathrm{max}}=R_{\mathrm{min}}=h_{\mathrm{min}}$. It is shown that surface tension forces and Coulomb forces make a major contribution to fractalization under normal conditions.
