How do Coulombic Interactions Affect Nanoparticle Stability?
The stability of nanoparticles in a suspension is largely determined by the balance of attractive and repulsive Coulombic forces. Attractive forces can lead to aggregation, while repulsive forces can stabilize the particles by preventing them from coming too close. Techniques like zeta potential measurement are used to assess the net charge on nanoparticles, which provides insight into their stability.
