Popis: A dramatic improvement is reported in the stability of colloidal particles when stabilizing surface grafts are systematically shortened from small polymers to single monomers. The colloidal dispersions consist of fluorinated latex particles, exhibiting a weak van der Waals attraction, with grafted steric layers of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of different chain lengths. Using an effective salting-out electrolyte, Na
