Dispersion mechanism of nano-particulate aggregates using a high pressure wet-type jet mill

Structural and mechanical properties of cellulose composites made of isolated cellulose nanofibers and poly(vinyl alcohol)

“…The aqueous suspension of cellulose nanofibers was easily produced only by putting microcrystalline cellulose powder into the SB chamber with a high pressure of water [17][18][19]. The amount of residues caused by the SB processing was significantly lower than that of the grinding method [19], and the nozzle size in the SB processing was ~20% smaller than that of ACC [16], therefore we considered SB as a more efficient method than ACC to make Cel-F because of the higher kinetic energy of the suspension. In fact, the suspension obtained by the SB processing presented uniform dispersibility of the cellulose fibers.…”

Mechanical enhancement of amine‐functionalized TiO2 reinforced polyimine composites

“…In addition to these processing techniques, surface‐modification is another effective strategy to achieve even dispersion of the inorganic particles inside a hybrid composite. Modified by hydrophobic or amphiphilic groups, the wetting properties of the hydrophilic inorganic fillers can be adjusted to increase the affinity between the fillers and the polymer matrices . Furthermore, with active groups on their surfaces, the filling particles may react with the polymer matrix as crosslinkers.…”

Dispersion of clusters of nanoscale silica particles using batch rotor-stators

“…Different process devices used for the purpose include the stirred bead mill (Stenger et al, 2005;Kowalski et al, 2008;Schilde et al, 2010), ultrasonic dispersers (Baldyga et al, 2008b(Baldyga et al, , 2009Quarch et al, 2010) in-line rotor-stators (Baldyga et al, 2008a;Padron et al, 2008;Özcan-Taşkın et al, 2016), a batch rotor-stator or high pressure devices (Sauter and Schuchmann, 2007;Seekkuarachchi et al, 2008 andXie et al, 2008). Local energy dissipation rate in these devices, responsible for the breakup of agglomerates, can be orders of magnitude higher than the average energy dissipation rate.…”
