  2. Zeta potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta_potential

    The zeta potential is an important and readily measurable indicator of the stability of colloidal dispersions. The magnitude of the zeta potential indicates the degree of electrostatic repulsion between adjacent, similarly charged particles in a dispersion. For molecules and particles that are small enough, a high zeta potential will confer ...

  3. Point of zero charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_zero_charge

    The potential of zero charge is used for determination of the absolute electrode potential in a given electrolyte. IUPAC also defines the potential difference with respect to the potential of zero charge as: E pzc = E − E σ=0. where: E pzc is the electrode potential difference with respect to the point of zero charge, E σ=0

  4. Double layer (surface science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_layer_(surface_science)

    Usually zeta potential is used for estimating the degree of DL charge. A characteristic value of this electric potential in the DL is 25 mV with a maximum value around 100 mV (up to several volts on electrodes [22] [27]). The chemical composition of the sample at which the ζ-potential is 0 is called the point of zero charge or the iso-electric ...

  5. Electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophoresis

    where ε r is the dielectric constant of the dispersion medium, ε 0 is the permittivity of free space (C 2 N −1 m −2), η is dynamic viscosity of the dispersion medium (Pa s), and ζ is zeta potential (i.e., the electrokinetic potential of the slipping plane in the double layer, units mV or V).

  6. Damping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

    The damping ratio is a parameter, usually denoted by ζ (Greek letter zeta), [7] that characterizes the frequency response of a second-order ordinary differential equation. It is particularly important in the study of control theory. It is also important in the harmonic oscillator. In general, systems with higher damping ratios (one or greater ...

  7. Surface charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_charge

    When a surface is immersed in a solution containing electrolytes, it develops a net surface charge.This is often because of ionic adsorption. Aqueous solutions universally contain positive and negative ions (cations and anions, respectively), which interact with partial charges on the surface, adsorbing to and thus ionizing the surface and creating a net surface charge. [9]

  8. Zeta potential titration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta_potential_titration

    Zeta potential titration is a titration of heterogeneous systems, for example colloids and emulsions. Solids in such systems have very high surface area. This type of titration is used to study the zeta potential of these surfaces under different conditions. Details of zeta potential definition and measuring techniques can be found in the ...

  9. Coombs test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coombs_test

    RBCs have a net negative charge called zeta potential which causes them to have a natural repulsion for one another. Potentiators reduce the zeta potential of RBC membranes. Common potentiators include low ionic strength solution (LISS), albumin , polyethylene glycol (PEG), and proteolytic enzymes .
