Jl. Deiss et al., STERIC STABILITY OF TIO2 NANOPARTICLES IN AQUEOUS DISPERSIONS, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 106(1), 1996, pp. 59-62
The adsorption of relatively low molecular weight polyacrylamide was f
ound to extend the stability range of TiO2, nanoparticles dispersed in
water. Steric stabilization near the point of zero charge has been ob
tained with a polymer layer of about 12 nm.
