Abstract The effect of surface properties of particles on their adhesion and removal was investigated using an immersed system consisting of nylon particles and a quartz plate. The nylon particles were dyed with a reactive dye in order to change their properties and were used for the adhesion and removal experiments in comparison with undyed particles. The electrokinetic potentials of the particles were measured by micro-electrophoresis and the Hamaker constants were independently evaluated using experimental values of dispersive component of surface free energy determined by the Wilhelmy technique. The experimental results were used for the discussion of particle adhesion and removal on the basis of the heterocoagulation theory. The differences in adhesion and removal efficiencies between dyed and undyed particles were explained in terms of the electrostatic and dispersive van der Waals interaction by considering the differences in thier properties, the electrokinetic potential and the Hamaker constant, due to dyeing.
