18. Although measurements of the point of zero charge for single-crystal sapphire suggest that it occurs at more acidic pH (pH 5-7) (36-38) than that of colloidal alumina (pH 5-9) (39) and that it shows some variation with the crystal surface, neutron reflectivity measurements made at the surface studied here clearly demonstrate that the interface is cationic at neutral pH because the anionic surfactant SDS forms 86% of a bilayer.
