Charging colloids in nonpolar solvents

Stabilizing charged species in nonpolar solvents is difficult due to their low relative permittivity (Er); therefore, surfactants that form inverse micelles are often used as charge control additives (CCAs). In this Thesis, the structural and electrokinetic properties of surfactants and surfactant-c...
