Stabilizing colloidal dispersions is essential to prevent aggregation and maintain their unique properties. This can be achieved through various methods:
1. Electrostatic Stabilization: Adding charged particles to create repulsive forces that prevent aggregation. 2. Steric Stabilization: Using polymers or surfactants to create a physical barrier around particles. 3. Electrosteric Stabilization: Combining both electrostatic and steric methods for enhanced stability.
