DLVO and polymer-induced interactions
8 important questions on DLVO and polymer-induced interactions
What is more used in colloid chemistry; Force or Potential Energy?
For colloid stability, potential energy is typically used, because it can be compared to kBT.
How to measure colloidal forces?
What is the main factor the potential distrubtion Ψ(x) depends upon?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What does Derjaguin Landau Verwey Overbeek (DLVO) propose?
From infinite plates to real colloids Many colloids are closer to spherical objects. DLVO concepts and trends still apply:
Why are divalent salts (e.g. CaX) generally less soluble than monovalent ones (NaY)?
Polymers don’t like to be inside the shells surrounding the particles … why?
What is the Bjerrum length?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
