Colloid properties: suspensions of 1 nm-1 μm particles; colloidal stability depends on pH, ionic strength, surface charge.
Guía paso a paso
- 1Input particle size, charge, solution composition
- 2Calculate DLVO potential or colloidal stability
- 3Predict aggregation/sedimentation

Errores comunes a evitar
- ✕Neglecting DLVO interactions
- ✕Not accounting for pH effects on charge
Preguntas frecuentes
Why are colloids kinetically stable?
Brownian motion prevents settling; particles too small for gravity, too fast for diffusion aggregation.
