Stabilization of charged and neutral colloids in salty mixtures.
We present a mechanism for the stabilization of colloids in liquid mixtures without use of surfactants or polymers. When a suitable salt is added to a solvent mixture, the coupling of the colloid's surface chemistry and the preferential solvation of ions leads to a repulsive force between colloids that can overcome van der Waals attraction. This repulsive force is substantial in a large range o...
متن کاملPhase diagrams of binary mixtures of oppositely charged colloids.
Phase diagrams of binary mixtures of oppositely charged colloids are calculated theoretically. The proposed mean-field-like formalism interpolates between the limits of a hard-sphere system at high temperatures and the colloidal crystals which minimize Madelung-like energy sums at low temperatures. Comparison with computer simulations of an equimolar mixture of oppositely charged, equally sized...
متن کاملComment on "Long-range electrostatic interactions between like-charged colloids: Steric and confinement effects".
In a recent study [Phys. Rev. E 60, 6530 (1999)], Trizac and Raimbault showed that the effective pair interaction between like-charged colloids immersed in a cylindrically confined electrolyte remains repulsive even when the size of the microions and the finite longitudinal extension of the confining cylinder are taken into account. Contrary to their claim, we argue that the case of finite long...
متن کاملElectrostatic interactions of asymmetrically charged membranes
We predict the nature (attractive or repulsive) and range (exponentially screened or long-range power law) of the electrostatic interactions of oppositely charged, planar plates as a function of the salt concentration and surface charge densities (whose absolute magnitudes are not necessarily equal). An analytical expression for the crossover between attractive and repulsive pressure is obtaine...
متن کاملMixtures of charged colloid and neutral polymer: influence of electrostatic interactions on demixing and interfacial tension.
The equilibrium phase behavior of a binary mixture of charged colloids and neutral, nonadsorbing polymers is studied within free-volume theory. A model mixture of charged hard-sphere macroions and ideal, coarse-grained, effective-sphere polymers is mapped first onto a binary hard-sphere mixture with nonadditive diameters and then onto an effective Asakura-Oosawa model [S. Asakura and F. Oosawa,...
