Layering in sedimentation of suspensions of charged colloids: simulation and theory.
We study the equilibrium sediment of a multicomponent system of charged colloids using primitive model Monte Carlo simulations, which include counterions explicitly. We find separation of the different colloidal components into almost pure layers, where colloids with large charge-to-mass ratio sediment higher in the sample. This effect appears due to a competition between ionic entropy, gravita...
متن کاملAberration of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate by Zinc Nanoparticles
Dear Editor, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a useful basic clinical pathology laboratory investigation. It can be helpful in diagnosis and follow-up of several diseases. At present, a new automated method with proven reliability is available for ESR test (1). Here, the authors report on observation on a laboratory experiment to test the effect of zinc nanoparticles on ESR results. The...
متن کاملSlow Sedimentation and Deformability of Charged Lipid Vesicles
The study of vesicles in suspension is important to understand the complicated dynamics exhibited by cells in in vivo and in vitro. We developed a computer simulation based on the boundary-integral method to model the three dimensional gravity-driven sedimentation of charged vesicles towards a flat surface. The membrane mechanical behavior was modeled using the Helfrich Hamiltonian and near inc...
متن کاملCoarse-graining in suspensions of charged nanoparticles*
A coarse-grain description of nanocolloidal suspensions in the presence of an added salt is presented here. It enables us to simulate trajectories of the nanoparticles from effective functions that depend on average densities of salt ions. In practice, the ion-averaged effective potential is used as input of a Brownian dynamics (BD) simulation. This potential may be derived by various methods, ...
متن کاملStabilization of weakly charged microparticles using highly charged nanoparticles.
An experimental study was performed to understand the ability of highly charged nanoparticles to stabilize a dispersion of weakly charged microspheres. The experiments involved adding either anionic (sulfate) or cationic (amidine) latex nanoparticles to dispersions of micrometer-sized silica particles near the silica isoelectric point (IEP). Although both types of nanoparticles increased the ze...
