Determination of the zeta potential for highly charged colloidal suspensions.
We compute the electrostatic potential at the surface, or zeta potential ζ, of a charged particle embedded in a colloidal suspension using a hybrid mesoscopic model. We show that, for weakly perturbing electric fields, the value of ζ obtained at steady state during electrophoresis is statistically indistinguishable from ζ in thermodynamic equilibrium. We quantify the effect of counter-ion conce...
متن کاملStabilization of colloidal suspensions by means of highly charged nanoparticles.
We employ a novel Monte Carlo simulation scheme to elucidate the stabilization of neutral colloidal microspheres by means of highly charged nanoparticles [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 98, 8950 (2001))]]. In accordance with the experimental observations, we find that small nanoparticle concentrations induce an effective repulsion that prevents gelation caused by the intrinsic van der Waals attr...
متن کاملDielectrophoresis of charged colloidal suspensions.
We present a theoretical study of dielectrophoretic (DEP) crossover spectrum of two polarizable particles under the action of a nonuniform ac electric field. For two approaching particles, the mutual polarization interaction yields a change in their respective dipole moments, and hence, in the DEP crossover spectrum. The induced polarization effects are captured by the multiple image method. Us...
متن کاملReentrant phase transition in charged colloidal suspensions.
We report the observation of a novel phase transition in dilute aqueous suspensions of polystyrene particles as a function of ionic impurity concentration C. The suspension phase separates into dense and rare phases only for a restricted range of C which depends on particle concentration n. The dense phase has liquidlike or crystalline order depending on n and C. Free energies of the homogeneou...
متن کاملPhase coexistence in colloidal suspensions: an analytic Poisson-Boltzmann treatment.
We solve the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation analytically, subject to justifiable approximations, for a suspension containing a large number of identical spherical macroions under conditions of constant surface charge and zero added salt, in order to investigate the phase behavior of charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. Our results for the electrostatic part of the Helmholtz free ener...
