Formatted abstract The effects of solution pH and 1:1 electrolyte concentration on the aggregation behavior of fullerol C60(OH)24 nanoparticles were investigated using flow field-flow fractionation (FlFFF). Particle separations were confirmed by examining FFF fractions using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Results showed that fullerol C60(OH)24 nanoparticles remain stable at low salt concentration (0.001 M NaCl) and basic pH (pH 10). Changing the pH did not affect the size significantly, but increasing the salt concentration promoted some aggregation. Fullerol C60(OH)24 nanoparticles did not form large clusters and reached a maximum size of at most several nanometers. Particle interaction analysis using the colloid interaction theory as described by the energetics of electrostatic repulsion and van der Waals attraction explained the differences in the colloidal stability of the fullerol C60(OH)24 nanoparticles under different solution conditions.
