Abstract:This study investigates the influence of the molecular weight of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on the dispersion characteristics of silicon (Si) particles in Si/CMC model suspensions. The chain length of CMC is systematically adjusted, ranging from approximately 77 kDa to 281 kDa using the ultrasonic degradation method and characterized through the Mark-Houwink relation and gel permeation chromatography. Our findings confirm that decreasing CMC chain length enhances the dispersion of silicon particles by suppr… Show more
