Electrophoresis and time-resolved dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to characterize the surface charge and colloidal stability of the CNCs, respectively. The surface charge and aggregation kinetics of the sulfated CNCs were found to be independent of solution pH (pH range 2-10). For the monovalent salts (CsCl, KCl, NaCl, and LiCl), the critical coagulation concentration (CCC) followed the order of Cs+ Ba2+, which is in the reverse order of the counterion ionic size. For the trivalent salts (LaCl3, AlCl3, and FeCl3), the CNCs suspension was destabilized much more effectively. The observed complex stability curves with AlCl3 and FeCl3 are attributed to charge neutralization and charge reversal imparted by the adsorption of aluminum and ferric hydrolysis species on the CNC surface. The significant charge reversal induced by the ferric hydrolysis species led to the restabilization of suspensions. Our results on the colloidal stability of CNCs are of central importance to the nanotechnology and materials science communities working on various applications of CNCs. The shrinkage of microbubbles that are less than about 50µm in diameter is a well-known phenomenon that results from the surface tension. It has also been shown recently that hydroxyl ions have an extremely strong affinity for gas-water interfaces including bubble surfaces. A theoretical model is proposed that predicts bulk nanobubble stability in water, based on a force balance that results from the shrinkage of microbubbles. This model was designed to test the hypothesis that the surface tension of a shrinking microbubble can ultimately be balanced by the repulsion of the hydroxyl ions that initially adsorb onto the microbubble surface prior t
