Surfactant concentration critical
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕Neglecting DLVO interactions
- ✕Not accounting for pH effects on charge
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are colloids kinetically stable?
Brownian motion prevents settling; particles too small for gravity, too fast for diffusion aggregation.
