Zeta Potential: A Complete Course in 5 Minutes - Zeta-Meter

Zeta-Meter andColloid BehaviorZeta potential can help youunderstand and control colloidalsuspensions. Examples includecomplex biological systems such asblood and functional ones like suspensions can be asthick as paste (like cement) or asdilute as the turbidity particles ina lake. Water, milk, wine, clay,dyes, inks, paper and pharmaceu-ticals are good examples of usefulcolloidal systems. Water is a com-mon suspending liquid, althoughnon-aqueous liquids are used aswell. In many cases, the perform-ance of a suspension can be im-proved by understanding the effectof colloidal behavior on such prop-erties as viscosity, settling andeffective particle can often tailor the charac-teristics of a suspension by under-standing how individual colloidsinteract with one another.
