Before revision:  Our theory highlights how the physics of the binding kinetics of these ligands (expressed through the collision factor function) as well as the attractive / repulsive surface potential in an ionic medium effects the eventual size of these particle aggregates (flocs).
After revision:  Our theory highlights how the micro-scale binding kinetics of these ligands (expressed through the collision factor function) as well as the attractive / repulsive surface potential in an ionic medium effects the eventual size of these particle aggregates (flocs).
