Potentials Physical Pharmacy 2
Zeta potential • The slipping/ shear plane separates the thin layer of liquid bound to the solid surface(elastic behavior) from the rest of liquid (normal viscous behavior). • The electric potential at the shear plane is called zeta potential. From http://www.silver-colloids.com/Tutorials/Intro/pcs17.html Physical Pharmacy 2
Determination of zeta potential • Measure electrophoretic mobility • the electrophoretic mobility is the ratio of the velocity of particles to the field strength Physical Pharmacy 2
Traditional Measurement of Electrophoretic Mobility Physical Pharmacy 2
Smoluchowski equation • From Marian Smoluchowski: m=ez/h m electrophoretic mobility e electric permittivity of the liquid • is the viscosity applies for • thin double layer • when the zeta potential is not too high • large colloidal particles and high ionic strengths Physical Pharmacy 2
Huckel Equation • size of particle is small compared to EDL (or thick EDL) • Use Huckel equation: m=ez/1.5h Thickness of EDL, 1/κ Physical Pharmacy 2
Complications in zeta potential determination Electrophoretic retardation Relaxation effect Physical Pharmacy 2
Laser Doppler Velocimetry Young’s interference fringes formed at stationary level Using Fourier Transform, the correlator produces a frequency spectrum from which the mobility distribution and hence zeta potential are calculated. Physical Pharmacy 2

Examples of Application Physical Pharmacy 2
Isoelectric point (IEP) • If pH<4 or pH>8 there is sufficient charge to confer stability. • If 4<pH<8 dispersion may be unstable. • Most unstable at around pH 6 (IEP) From: http://www.silver-colloids.com/ Tutorials/Intro/pcs18.html Physical Pharmacy 2
