Talk:Zeta potential

Please clean this article up

Can you be more specific about what needs to be done? LightScatteringGuy (talk) 15:07, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

something really obvious: slipping plane and interfacial DL link to the same article. it's unclear what a slipping plane is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.146.218.108 (talk) 16:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a vacuum on emulsion theory. Water-Crude Oil emulsions in particular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.100.180.19 (talk) 22:03, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the image shown is a negatively charged particle, but a positive zeta potential. Shouldn't the potential be mirrored at the x-axis?

Precise definition?

From the introduction, "From a theoretical viewpoint, the zeta potential is the electric potential in the interfacial double layer (DL) at the location of the slipping plane versus a point in the bulk fluid away from the interface." Where exactly is the slipping plane? From the linked article I would guess that the position of the slipping plane is fairly vague. --Nanite (talk) 15:54, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Zeta potential to Stability behavior table

This is a very useful table for understand zeta values, but why does the table go from 0-5, 10-30, 30-40, 40-60, 60+? Where is the 5-10 value? -Iamozy (talk) 15:11, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I was unable to find the data for this table from the given references. Could you provide the reference for this table? Or are these guidelines that you have learned from experience? Rinchu21 (talk) 01:07, 18 March 2015 (UTC)rinchu21[reply]

Non-electrostatic stabilization

Paragraph 3 implies zeta potential governs the stability of all colloidal dispersions which is not true. Clarification should be given to the fact that many colloidal dispersions employ steric stabilization or electrosteric stabilization. Hence, the role and practical value, if any, of zeta potential may be reduced. 184.7.186.71 (talk) 23:17, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
