Abstract

Interaction energy between charged particles in submicron size range was calculated as a function of distance between particles or solid content for an aqueous colloidal system of monosize spherical particles. This calculation revealed the surface potential effect and particle size effect on the interaction energy. A metastable phase diagram for one-component colloidal system was constructed on the basis of the interaction energy between two charged particles. This phase diagram suggests that nature of colloidal suspensions of smaller particles approaches colloidal solid at lower solid contents.
