What is the constant surface charge Z? Here it appears to be a dimensionless quantity. Xxanthippe (talk) 10:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Fixed that. Was confusing indeed. Williams12357 (talk) 18:36, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds plausible, but can you give a source? Xxanthippe (talk) 01:41, 7 May 2012 (UTC).[reply]
Levin, Y., . Prog. Phys. 2002, 65, 1577-1632. Eq. 115. However, this review is quite sophisticated, and not an easy digest. Williams12357 (talk) 18:46, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As rightly stated in the article, DLVO theory was developed to explain the stability of colloidal dispersions. However, how this connection is made is not explained. Would be good to add a discussion of this point. Williams12357 (talk) 18:36, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
