BACKGROUND Interactions between inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are central to a wide
spectrum of physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. An understanding of these …

This review addresses experimental findings obtained with direct force measurements
between two similar or dissimilar solid surfaces in aqueous electrolyte solutions …

Charge regulation in the electrical double layer has important implications for ion
adsorption, interparticle forces, colloidal stability, and deposition phenomena. Although …

The assessment of possible interactions between microplastic particles (MPP) and other
emerging contaminants such as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is of great …

The Schulze–Hardy rule suggests a strong dependence of the critical coagulation
concentration (CCC) on the ionic valence. This rule is addressed theoretically and …

The present article provides an overview of the recent progress in the direct force
measurements between individual pairs of colloidal particles in aqueous salt solutions …

Charged colloidal particles neutralized by a single counterion are increasingly important for
many emerging technologies. Attention here is paid specifically to hydrogen fuel cells and …

Shifts of the critical coagulation concentration (CCC) in particle suspensions in salt solutions
containing multivalent co-ions and monovalent counterions are rationalized. One observes …

The charging and aggregation properties of boron nitride nanospheres (BNNSs) were
investigated in the presence of electrolytes of different compositions and valences in …

Previous experiments have shown that spherical colloidal particles relax to equilibrium
slowly after they adsorb to a liquid–liquid interface, despite the large interfacial energy …
