Engineered nanoparticles | pH | Zeta potential[mV] | Stability behaviour | Size(measured by DLS) |
---|---|---|---|---|
TiO2 in PBS- citrate |
7,9 |
−26 |
Incipient instability |
|
ZnO in PBS- citrate |
7,9 |
−29 |
Incipient instability |
|
TiO2 in 0,3 M glucose |
4,4 |
−22 |
Incipient instability |
600-4000 nm (average 1820 nm) |
ZnO in 0,3 M glucose | 6,6 | −15 | Incipient instability | 100 – 1200 nm (average 431 nm) |
The DLS measurements of TiO2 and ZnO EP suspensions in glucose could be performed, but the DLS measurements of TiO2 and ZnO EP suspensions in PBS citrate could not be performed due to fast sedimentation.
