Significance of Zeta potential
Zeta potential is a critical measurement that reflects the electric charge on the surface of nanoparticles and colloidal particles, influencing their stability in suspension. It indicates the electrostatic interactions—repulsion or attraction—between particles, which can determine the stability of colloidal systems. Higher absolute zeta potential values typically correlate with better stability and reduced aggregation of particles. This measurement is essential in assessing the behavior of various nanoparticles, including silver nanoparticles and liposomal formulations, in diverse applications.
