Partikelfrånträngning
Partikelfrånträngning is a Swedish term that translates to particle displacement or particle repulsion. It describes the phenomenon where particles, particularly in a fluid medium, tend to avoid each other and maintain a certain distance. This repulsion is often a consequence of surface forces, such as electrostatic repulsion or steric hindrance. Electrostatic repulsion occurs when particles carry like charges, causing them to push each other away. Steric hindrance arises when molecules adsorbed onto the particle surfaces create a physical barrier that prevents close approach.
This concept is important in various scientific and engineering fields. In colloid science, understanding partikelfrånträngning is
Applications of partikelfrånträngning principles can be found in the formulation of paints, inks, pharmaceuticals, and food
