Abstract: | In this work we describe the colloid stability of functionalized latexes: two sulfonated polystyrene model colloids with the same particle size and different surface charge densities. The critical coagulation concentration (ccc) was determined in the presence of two electrolytes (1 1 and 2 2), being around 0.75 M and 0.075 M, respectively. By the DLVO theory the electrokinetic and colloid stability data were correlated to calculate the Hamaker constant at both experimental conditions. By comparing the experimental and theoretical values of the Hamaker constant, it is possible to get more information about the colloidal stabilization mechanism of functionalized latexes. In the case of sulfonated latexes, the electrostatic and seric contributions occur, with different influence for each latex depending of their surface electric charge. |
