Kinetics of polystyrene latex coagulation in the absence of electrostatic barrier

Abstract

An experimental method for determining the potential barrier of the solvation-adsorption stability factor for dispersion systems was proposed. The method is based on kinetic analysis of latex coagulation in the absence of an electrostatic repulsion barrier at the interaction potential curves. The effect of nonionic surfactants on the value of the potential barrier of the solvation-adsorption stability factor for lyophilized dispersion systems was estimated.
