Abstract
Deposition of colloidal particles onto surfaces is usually assumed to follow the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (D.L.V.O.) theory for colloidal stability. In the work presented here the D.L.V.O theory is extended to include the case where the surface is electronically conducting. The effect of application of an electric field to the surfaces on the rate of deposition of 5.4 µm colloidal particles is simulated.
