  • Dynamic light scattering to determine stability ratios and aggregation kinetics.

    • Main Results:

    • Poly(vinylamine) adsorption is largely irreversible and saturates at high polymer doses.
    • Suspension stability is highly sensitive to polymer dose, salt concentration, and proximity to the isoelectric point (IEP).
    • Charge neutralization is nonstoichiometric (charging ratios > 1), influenced by charge density mismatches between polymer and particle.

    Conclusions:

    • The study elucidates the irreversible nature of PVA adsorption and its impact on colloidal systems.
    • A proposed model successfully explains the observed charge neutralization trends based on charge spacing.
    • Findings offer valuable insights for designing and stabilizing colloidal suspensions with adsorbed polyelectrolytes.
