By knowing the magnitude of zeta potential, it is possible to estimate whether a suspension of particles will have enough mutual, electrostatic repulsion to prevent the particles from coming together. The positively charged PIA likely functions both as a mechanical barrier against peptides and phagocytes, and by electrostatic repulsion of the predominantly cationic antibacterial peptides. Dorbolo and Vandewalle say they've conducted recent experiments that suggest that the antibubbles oppose van der Waals attractions with some counterforce, perhaps electrostatic repulsion, between detergent molecules that protrude into the air gap from the liquid on either side. |
