Effect of Dielectric Constant on the Zeta Potential of Spherical Electric Double Layers
Khawla Qamhieh
Abstract:Zeta potential refers to the electrokinetic potential present in colloidal systems, exerting significant influence on the diverse properties of nano-drug delivery systems. The impact of the dielectric constant on the zeta potential and charge inversion of highly charged colloidal particles immersed in a variety of solvents spanning from polar, such as water, to nonpolar solvents and in the presence of multivalent salts was investigated through primitive Monte Carlo (MC) model simulations. Zeta potential, ξ, is… Show more
