Abstract
It is demonstrated, both theoretically and experimentally, that
the two basic parameters controlling the onset and extent of
flocculation in sterically-stabilised dispersions are the particle con- .
centration and the depth of the pairwise interaction (free) energy
minimum. It is also shown that the latter parameter is itself controlled,
inter alia, by the thickness of the adsorbed polymer sheath,
the solvency and the concentration of free polymer in solution.
