Dispersion Stability

Electrostatic or Charge Stabilization

Electrostatic or Charge Stabilization – this is the effect on particle interaction due to the distribution of charged species in the system

Dispersion stability or flocculation of a system may be modified simply by altering the concentration of ions in a system

  • It is a reversible process
  • It is potentially inexpensive

Zeta Potential is a very good index of the magnitude of the interaction between colloidal particles and Zeta Potential measurements are used to assess the stability of colloidal systems
