Second osmotic virial coefficient A common way to evaluate the stability of a compound in a dispersion is through the equation of state (EOS)8,9,31: $$\frac{{\Pi }}{kT}={\rho }_{2}+{B}_{22}{\rho }_{2}^{2}{+B}_{23}{\rho }_{2}{\rho }_{3}+\ldots $$ (2) where Π is the osmotic pressure, ρ is the number density and kT is the product of the Boltzmann constant (k) and the temperature (T). In this equation, …
