Depletion Flocculation

Depletion Flocculation is a colloidal aggregation mechanism in which suspended particles clump together due to the entropic force generated by non-adsorbing polymers or small colloids that are excluded from the interparticle region, thereby reducing the free volume and inducing phase separation.
