Factors influencing zeta potential and particle properties

3 Factors influencing zeta potential and particle properties 

The charge of the particle will be influenced by several experimental parameters. This is the chemical nature of the particle. Typical inorganic particles used for co-deposition are oxides and carbides. The surface charge of these particles depends on the chemical composition. The surface charge also depends on pH of the electrolyte. The characteristic pH for when the zeta potential is zero is the isoelectric point. Isoelectric points of some particles used for co-deposition are shown in Table 12.2. 

The surface charge of these particles is also a function of the electrolyte composition. The following electrolyte components can change the surface potential
