Influence of natural organic matter (NOM) and synthetic polyelectrolytes on colloidal behavior of metal oxide nanoparticles

The colloidal behavior of engineered nanomaterials exposed in an aquatic environment may significantly influence their bioavailability as well as toxicity to different species. Natural organic matter (NOM) is one of the major colloidal materials ubiquitous in the environment with significant structu...
