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 …

Triboelectrification is the spontaneous charging of two bodies when released from contact.
Even though its manifestation is commonplace, in for instance triboelectric nanogenerators …

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 …

Force profiles as well as aggregation and deposition rates are studied for asymmetrically
charged particles and surfaces in aqueous electrolytes theoretically. Interactions are …

Allophane is an amorphous aluminosilicate clay mineral which is typically found in young
volcanic ash soils. The aggregation-dispersion and charging behaviors of allophane may …

A spur on miniaturized devices led scientists to unravel the fundamental aspects of micro‐
and nanoparticle assembly to engineer large structures. Primarily, attention is given to wet …
