Agglomeration of oppositely charged particles in nonpolar liquids.
We study the aggregation of insulating electrically charged spheres suspended in a nonpolar liquid. Regarding the van der Waals interaction as an irreversible sticking force, we are especially interested in the charge distribution after aggregation. Solving the special case of two oppositely charged particles exactly, it is shown that the surface charges either recombine or form a residual dipo...
متن کاملElectrostatic interactions of colloidal particles in nonpolar solvents: role of surface chemistry and charge control agents.
We study the electrostatic and hydrodynamic interactions of colloidal particles in nonpolar solvents. Using blinking optical tweezers, we can extract the screening length, kappa-1, the effective surface potential, |ezeta*|, and the hydrodynamic radius, ah, in a single measurement. We apply this technique to suspensions of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) particles in hexadecane with so...
متن کاملReverse Micelles Enable Strong Electrostatic Interactions of Colloidal Particles in Nonpolar Solvents
While the important role of electrostatic interactions in aqueous colloidal suspensions is widely known and reasonably well-understood, the relevance of charge in nonpolar suspensions remains mysterious. We demonstrate that particles can have surprisingly strong electrostatic interactions in low dielectric constant environments when ions are solubilized by reverse micelles. A simple thermodynam...
متن کاملColloidal Interactions between Particles with Tethered Nonpolar Chains Dispersed in Polar Media
Colloidal interactions between particles dispersed in a liquid can be suitably tailored by modifying the surface chemistry of the particles. In the case of fumed silica particles, the surface can be systematically altered from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by replacing a portion of the original silanol (Si-OH) groups by nonpolar alkyl chains. In this study, we probe the effect of surface modificat...
متن کاملStructural color coating films composed of an amorphous array of colloidal particles via electrophoretic deposition
It is desirable to fabricate colorful coatings that have nonfading properties and are environmentally friendly. In this study, a novel approach for creating structural color coatings from monodisperse silica particles is presented. The structural color coating films, formed from an array of silica particles with a small amount of black additive, are easily prepared by a simple electrophoretic d...
