The zeta potential represents the surface charge, which occurs in the presence of an aqueous solution when reactive (functional) groups dissociate on hydrophilic surfaces or water ions adsorb onto ...

The quantification of attractive intermolecular forces within a solid provides its surface energy - an analogous value to a liquid’s surface tension. Surface energy is a key property of a particulate ...
