dc.description.abstract	The coagulation of monodisperse polystyrene latices by nitric acid has been studied at different concentrations of a nonionic surface active agent, n-dodecylhexaoxyethylene glycol monoether CI2H25[OCH2CH2]6OH; a range of particle sizes from 60 to 870 nm was examined. With an adsorbed monolayer of the nonionic surface active agent the small particle size latices are stable in the absence of an electrostatic charge but the larger particles cannot be stabilized under these conditions. The experimental results are consistent with a theory based on the concept that the adsorbed layer acts as a steric barrier and also modifies the van der Waals interactions.	en_US
