<title>Optical parameter adjustment for silica nano- and micro-particle size distribution measurement using Mastersizer 2000</title>

Abstract

This paper deals with adjustment of certain optical parameters of nano and micro-structured particles of silica by which Mastersizer 2000 as a device for size distribution particle measurement has been used. The optical method process may be used by looking for unique refractive and absorption index of investigated particles. Optical properties, i.e. refractive index and absorption index of the silica have been found and related to inter-particle silica bindings in the form of Hamaker constants2. For the optical properties calculations using the Mastersizer 2000 Mie Scattering solutions representing the electric and magnetic induction, i.e. silica's permeability and permittivity from Maxwell's equations have been exercised.

Polyamide 12 Materials Study of Morpho-Structural Changes during Laser Sintering of 3D Printing

“…One of the crucial parts of the 3D printing technology for polymers is the size and shape of powders used for production [ 12 , 13 ]. A strong objective technique for relevant information about the state of a powder is microscopy image examination of the powder particles.…”

DESIGN OF NEW Grinding device for Homogenization of Mechanical Grinding METALLURGY Process

“…To remove the layers that became stuck the process has to be completely interrupted, the grinding device dismantled, and the layers stuck to the wall mechanically scraped off. The result is an inhomogeneously ground/pulverized material with varying distribution of different particle sizes of the processed material as shown in the work [29].…”

“…A major disadvantage of the previously used milling equipment is the fact that during the milling process, due to the pressure and impact of the grinding bodies, agglomerates and aggregates have been formed to a chamber wall and thus significantly reduce the efficiency of the milling process. The formation of aggregates and agglomerates [22] is an adverse effect in the processing of fine particulate materials, respectively nanopowders [1,6,7,13,[27][28][29]. As with other grinding equipment mentioned by authors [9,11,16,21,26,31,32], there is a grinding effect taking place by combining factors: pressure, impact, attrition, size distribution, electrical discharge, fluidization etc.…”

Phase Transformation after Heat Treatment of Cr-Ni Stainless Steel Powder for 3D Printing

“…Metal AM precursor materials present the most important part in the manufacturing process, and they should be watched for changes in their chemical and phase composition, as well as morphology and particle size of the powder [ 8 ]. The changes can happen due to mechanical or thermal effects [ 9 ].…”
