Abstract
The zeta potential is a widely used parameter to categorize particle-particle interaction and aggregation. This parameter is often determined by the measurement of electrophoretic mobility. For single particles, various approximations allow a direct correlation between the mobility and the zeta potential. However, for aggregates, which are often found in the environment and in industrial applications, such approximations are less utilized. The relation between the size of aggregates and the resulting electrophoretic mobility has not yet been extensively explored and is often not considered. Here, we control the aggregate size additive-free of two fumed silica types with different primary particle diameters for comprehensive electrophoretic and dynamic light scattering measurements. We evaluate the influence of primary particle diameter and aggregate size on electrophoretic mobility. Our results reveal that the primary particle diameter is the defining factor for the electrophoretic mobility of the aggregates. This finding provides new insights into the electrokinetic behavior of aggregates and emphasizes the importance of primary particle properties in predicting colloidal interactions.
