Surface of a particle is inevitably charged. When the particle is surrounded by a fluid a
potential difference arises between the surface and bulk, called zeta potential (ζ) which …

The electroacoustic technique has been successfully used to determine the zeta potential of
concentrated aqueous suspensions for over thirty years. This article reviews its use in …

In this study, cupric oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were synthesized via sonochemical method.
The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared …

Carbonate wettability is dictated by the surface chemistry related to stability of the water film
between the oil phase and the rock surface. It has been verified, both in the field and …

The success of oil recovery from fractured low permeable carbonates by water injection is
dictated by the wetting properties of the rock surface. Potential determining ions like Ca2+ …

The Most Detailed Resource Available on Points of Zero ChargeWith their work growing in
complexity, chemists involved with surface phenomena-related projects have outgrown the …

Polymeric nanocarriers (PNs) have demonstrated to be a promising alternative to treat
intracellular infections. They have outstanding performance in delivering antimicrobials …

The frontier of surface and colloid science has moved to smaller and smaller regions and
deeper and deeper into the living world. It is a privilege to introduce the second edition of the …

Iron ore is generally transported using a traditional method that releases significant amounts
of dust into the environment. In contrast, the pipeline transportation of slurry is noticeably a …

The rare-earth elements (REE), which encompass the fifteen metallic elements of the
lanthanoid series of the periodic table, yttrium and occasionally scandium, have gained …
