Hydrophobic colloidal suspensions are common in nature and industry. DLVO theory has been used to model the interactions between colloidal particles for decades, however the origin of long-ranged attractive forces observed between hydrophobic colloids remains the subject of much debate. In an effort to understand these forces and improve the prediction of colloidal stability, the colloidal stability of synthetic silica and titania was studied at various concentrations of dissolved gas, KCl electrolyte and pH. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2003
