Polymerization of ionic liquids results in the formation of ionic polymers, which are called
poly (ionic liquid) s or polymerized ionic liquids (PIL). This is a brand new form of ionicity in …

Sterically-stabilized poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) latexes dispersed in nonpolar
solvents are a classic, well-studied system in colloid science. This is because they can …

A highly-charged spherical colloid in a salt-free environment exerts such a powerful
attraction on its counterions that a certain fraction condenses onto the surface of a particle …

Monolayers of colloidal particles at oil-water interfaces readily crystallize owing to
electrostatic repulsion, which is often mediated through the oil. However, little attempts exist …

The aggregation behavior of particles in nonpolar media is studied with time-resolved light
scattering. At low surfactant concentrations particles are weakly charged and suspensions …

Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory remains the cornerstone of colloid
stability. Electrostatic interactions dominate van der Waals attractions at large colloid-colloid …

It is general wisdom that the pair potential of charged colloids in a liquid may be closely
approximated by a Yukawa interaction, as predicted by the classical Derjaguin-Landau …

Abstract A series of 1-aryl 3-alkyl imidazolium tetrakis [bis-3, 5 (trifluoromethyl) phenyl]
borate [BArF 3, 5] ionic liquids were synthesized and characterized. Increasing the alkyl …

Particles used in electrophoretic display applications (EPD) must possess a number of
specific properties ranging from stability in a nonaqueous solvent, high reflectivity, low …

Individual colloids often carry a charge as a result of the dissociation (or adsorption) of
weakly-ionized surface groups. The magnitude depends on the precise chemical …
