Charge renormalization and phase separation in colloidal suspensions
– We explore the effects of counterion condensation on fluid-fluid phase separation in charged colloidal suspensions. It is found that formation of double layers around the colloidal particles stabilizes suspensions against phase separation. Addition of salt, however, produces an instability which, in principle, can lead to a fluid-fluid separation. The instability, however, is so weak that it ...
متن کاملCharge Renormalization, Thermodynamics, and Structure of Deionized Colloidal Suspensions
In charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions, highly chargedmacroions, dressed by strongly correlated counterions, carry an effective charge that can be substantially reduced (renormalized) from the bare charge. Interactions between dressedmacroions are screened by weakly correlated counterions and salt ions. Thermodynamic and structural properties of colloidal suspensions depend sensitively on t...
متن کاملColloidal charge renormalization in suspensions containing multivalent electrolyte.
A theory is proposed which allows us to self-consistently calculate the effective colloidal charge and the counterion and coion density profiles in suspensions containing both multivalent and monovalent electrolytes. The formation of counterion-coion clusters is explicitly taken into account. The theory predicts that sufficiently strongly charged colloidal particles will become overcharged. The...
متن کاملCharge - stabilized colloidal suspensions . Phase behavior and effects of confinement *
The Poisson–Boltzmann (PB) equation is used to investigate effective colloid-interface interactions and the phase behavior of charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. When a colloidal particle, immersed in an electrolyte, approaches an interface, which may be neutral (such as air) or charged (like electrodes, glass, etc.), image charge effects plus the deformation of the colloidal ion atmospher...
متن کاملEffective charge saturation in colloidal suspensions
Because micro-ions accumulate around highly charged colloidal particles in electrolyte solutions, the relevant parameter to compute their interactions is not the bare charge, but an effective ~or renormalized! quantity, whose value is sensitive to the geometry of the colloid, the temperature or the presence of added-salt. This nonlinear screening effect is a central feature in the field of coll...
