Dispersions
Characterization, Testing, and Measurement
edited by Erik Kissa
This comprehensive reference describes various methods and techniques used to characterize dispersions and measure their physical and chemical properties—explaining principles essential for the interpretation of data and understanding the real meaning of the results.
Surveying a large variety of dispersions containing particles ranging from submicron sizes to aggregates and from hard particles to polymer latices, Dispersions compares the advantages and limitations of numerous techniques and test methods for
- measuring particle size and shape
- physical and chemical characterization of particle surfaces
- dispersion stability and selecting dispersants
- monitoring the dispersive process
- flocculation and sedimentation
- optical, electron, and probe microscopy
- radiative methods, including static and dynamic light scattering, fiber optics, diffraction, turbidity, Doppler anemometry, single-particle optical sensing, and electrooptics
- chromatographic methods, including hydrodynamic, size-exclusion chromatography, and field-flow fractionation
- quantifying the surface charge, electrokinetic potential, dynamic mobility, conductivity, dielectric properties, and more
- rheology, viscosity, thixotropy, yield stress, and electroviscosity
- and more!
With more than 3200 literature references and over 300 illustrations,
Dispersions serves as a useful reference for surface, colloid, polymer,
physical, and analytical chemists; chemical researchers in industry and academia;
formulators and producers of dispersions; biochemists; process and chemical engineers;
materials scientists; and graduate-level students in these disciplines.
