Natural organic matter surface coverage as a predictor of heteroaggregation between nanoparticles and colloids
Dylan M. Oney, Jeffrey A. Nason
Abstract
The rate of heteroaggregation between branched polyethylenimine stabilized gold nanoparticles and a model colloid (glass beads) was correlated with the degree to which the nanoparticles were coated by natural organic matter.
