Recent developments in the understanding of colloid stability

JTG Overbeek - Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 1977 - Elsevier
The stability of suspensions and emulsions against coagulation is governed by the forces
between the particles. The main forces are: van der Waals attraction, electrostatic repulsion, …

Monodisperse colloidal systems, fascinating and useful

JTG Overbeek - Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, 1982 - Elsevier
Monodisperse colloidal systems may form spontaneously (protein solutions, micellar solutions,
micro-emulsions) or be obtained by fractionation (Perrin's suspensions of gamboge) or …

Calculation of the electrophoretic mobility of a spherical colloid particle

PH Wiersema, AL Loeb, JTG Overbeek - Journal of Colloid and Interface …, 1966 - Elsevier
A new calculation of the relation between the electrophoretic mobility and the ζ-potential of
a spherical colloid particle is presented. The model consists of a rigid, electrically insulating …

The rate of coagulation as a measure of the stability of silver iodide sols

H Reerink, JTG Overbeek - Discussions of the Faraday Society, 1954 - pubs.rsc.org
The form of the energy barrier between two sol particles is calculated from the electrical
repulsion and the van der Waals attraction. Flocculation is retarded by this barrier, and the …

Rupture of thin liquid films due to spontaneous fluctuations in thickness

A Vrij, JTG Overbeek - Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1968 - ACS Publications
Thesurfaces of thin liquid films are slightly corrugated because of thermal fluctuations.
These cor-rugations show up in the light scattered by these films. It can be shown that …

On the interpretation of electrokinetic potentials

J Lyklema, JTG Overbeek - Journal of Colloid Science, 1961 - Elsevier
The variation of the dielectric constant and the viscosity in the electrical double layer are
considered. The Helmholtz-Smoluchowski equation for the electrophoretic mobility requires …

The solubility of quartz

JA Lier, PLD Bruyn, JTG Overbeek - The Journal of Physical …, 1960 - ACS Publications
The surface structure of finely ground quartz particles, ranging in size from 1 to 50 µ, was
studied by dissolution measure-ments in NaOH solutions. The results indicate the presence of …

Theorie der Electrophorese--Het Relaxatie-Effect

JTG Overbeek - arXiv preprint arXiv:1907.05542, 2019 - arxiv.org
In this thesis, a theoretical treatment of the relation between electrophoretic velocity and the
potential of the double layer of colloidal particles is presented. Translators' note: The theory …

Stability and electrophoretic deposition of suspensions in non-aqueous media

H Koelmans, JTG Overbeek - Discussions of the Faraday Society, 1954 - pubs.rsc.org
The stability of suspensions in solvents of very low polarity is treated in part 1 of this paper.
Theoretical considerations lead to the conclusion, that quite modest electric charges and [-…

Theory of the stabilization of dispersions by adsorbed macromolecules. II. Interaction between two flat particles

FT Hesselink, A Vrij, JTG Overbeek - The Journal of Physical …, 1971 - ACS Publications
A theory for the stabilization of dispersions by adsorbed macromolecules (“protective action”)
is given in terms of a volume restriction repulsion, due to the decrease of configurational …
