Pair potential of charged colloidal stars.
We report on the construction of colloidal stars: 1 microm polystyrene beads grafted with a dense brush of 1 microm long and 10 nm wide charged semiflexible filamentous viruses. The pair interaction potentials of colloidal stars are measured using an experimental implementation of umbrella sampling, a technique originally developed in computer simulations in order to probe rare events. The infl...
متن کاملPair interaction of charged colloidal spheres near a charged wall.
Although equally charged colloidal particles dispersed in clean water are expected to repel each other, an unexplained long-range attraction has consistently been reported for charged colloidal spheres confined by charged macroscopic surfaces. We present an alternative equilibrium measurement of the pair interaction energy for charged spheres near a single charged wall. Analyzing their radial d...
متن کاملDetermination of the zeta potential for highly charged colloidal suspensions.
We compute the electrostatic potential at the surface, or zeta potential ζ, of a charged particle embedded in a colloidal suspension using a hybrid mesoscopic model. We show that, for weakly perturbing electric fields, the value of ζ obtained at steady state during electrophoresis is statistically indistinguishable from ζ in thermodynamic equilibrium. We quantify the effect of counter-ion conce...
متن کاملEffective pair potential between charged nanoparticles at high volume fractions.
Simulations of charged colloidal dispersions are technically challenging. One possible workaround consists in reducing the system to the colloids only, whose interactions are described through an effective pair potential, wf. Still, the determination of wf is difficult mainly because it depends on the colloidal density, ϕ. Here we propose to calculate wf from simulations of a pair of colloids p...
متن کاملAggregation of Charged Colloidal Particles
This chapter reviews the recent progress in aggregation of colloidal particles with long-range interactions, including simple colloids and polyelectrolytes. The relevant interactions between colloidal particles, including Born repulsion, van der Waals, electrostatic, structural solvation, hydrophobic hydrodynamic interactions and attraction between like-charge colloids, charge nonuniformity, an...
