FTP, name this theory used to describe the relative stability of colloids, named for its four formulators.
Among the changes proposed to update this model are the incorporation of the hydrophobic-lipophilic balance concept and the explicit existence of hydrogen bonds. The location of the Stern plane is important in this theory, and one of the terms in its central equation is calculated using the Bjerrum length, the Debye-Huckel screening length, and the zeta potential. The other main term incorporates the Hamaker constant, and can be altered through steric means, often with long polymers. It describes the barrier energy produced by the interaction between electrical double layer repulsive forces and van der Waals attractive forces as two particles approach each other in a liquid and perhaps flocculate.
