Investigating the Effect of Dispersing Agent on the Stability of Suspension Based on SMLS Technology
Suspension of titanium dioxide nanoparticles is widely used in manufacturing ceramics, daily chemicals, pigments, and optics. In most cases, nanoparticle suspensions are unstable due to the high specific surface area and surface energy of nanoparticles which leads to strong likelihood of particle agglomeration and subsequent sedimentation. Dispersing agents provide a viable solution to poor stability by adjusting electrostatic potential or modifying steric hindrance. Suspensions with high stability are beneficial to their final performance because good dispersibility of nanoparticles greatly improves effectiveness during application.
