Agglomeration of Particles
Slight adhesion between particles can cause them to stick together in suspensions to form aggregates. This process depends on the molecular surface attractions between particles, and also on the thermal movements of particles and their volumes, shapes and sizes. A new theory of this phenomenon has been proposed and verified with blood cells and other suspended spheres such as polymer latex and silica particles.
