Particle adhesion in model systems. Part 14.—Experimental evaluation of multilayer deposition

Abstract

The deposition of uniform, spherical colloidal haematite particles on glass beads was studied as a function of the ionic strength using the packed column technique. The data were interpreted in terms of a recently developed multilayer adhesion model, which is of particular interest for systems at high ionic strength. The evaluated parameters suggest that the adhesion behaviour can be explained in terms of colloid stability and particle to particle interaction energies.
