Heterodyne detection of light scattered from capillary waves is used to study the surface properties air–liquid interface. A diffraction grating employed select a precise ripplon wave vector k and provide stable local oscillator field. The optics are designed form real image on surface, thus allowing measurements be reproducible within 5%. power spectrum detected in frequency domain well fitted by Lorentzian profile for range vectors 260≤k≤390 cm−1. shape spectra at each corrected incident...
Nanomaterials tend to agglomerate in aqueous media, resulting inaccurate safety assessment of the biological response these substances. The present study searched for suitable dispersion methods preparation nanomaterial suspensions. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were dispersed a biocompatible medium by direct probe-type sonicator indirect cup-type sonicator. Size characterization was completed using dynamic light scattering transmission electron microscopy. A...
Herein, we have reviewed fumed silica suspensions in dispersing fluids, polymer melts, and solutions, focusing on their dispersion stability rheological properties as a function of the surface character powders volume fraction, ϕ. Hydrophilic are well dispersed at ϕ < 0.01 polar fluids or phase states change from sol to gel with increasing Such changes should also be strongly related responses hydrophilic suspensions, which Newtonian flow behavior gel-like elasticity On other hand,...
