Abstract
We used Brownian Dynamic simulation to study structural and dynamic properties of bi-disperse colloidal suspensions. The size ratio of large to small particles in the bi-disperse colloidal suspension is set at 5:1 and 10:1. We studied the interaction of aggregates (clusters) formed through DLVO (Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey and Overbeek) and soft sphere interactions in a bi-disperse suspension. The dynamic properties of bi-disperse is correlated by varying the size ratio of bi-disperse particles, it is found that the mobility is decreased at size ratio of large to small particles is 5:1. This is despite the percolating particle gels formation was disrupted by larger particles at higher size ratio.
