Hypothesis: We describe the deposition behavior of monodispersed silica nanoparticles on polystyrene spherical particles by using modified pairwise DLVO (Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek) interaction force profiles at pH values between two and twelve. Our modified model contains a new nonlinear charge regulation parameter that considers redistribution of ions, which allows us to realistically express the electrical double layer (EDL) interaction forces. Experiments: Silanol-terminated silica nanoparticles (7.6 +/- 0.4 nm), L-lysine-covered silica nanoparticles (7.8 +/- 0.4 nm), and polyallylamine hydrochloride-covered polystyrene (PAH/PS) particles (348 +/- 1 nm) were synthesized. Then, each type of silica nanoparticle was deposited on the PAH/PS particles at a range of pH values. Findings: Our new regulation parameter describes the realistic redistribution of charges governed by pH, total salt concentration, ionic strength of solution, and separation distance of particles. We find that this regulation parameter can be roughly approximated from the absolute values of theoretically calculated surface charge density and potential distributions, as well as experimentally measured f-potentials. Morphological analysis using electron microscopy of the experimental systems shows that the modified pairwise DLVO interaction forces exceptionally describe the deposition behavior of the silica nanoparticles physically adsorbed on the PAH/PS particle substrates.
