The influence of diverse types of dispersing agents on the stability of aqueous boron carbide suspensions has been investigated. The best dispersants for aqueous B4C suspensions could not be accurately determined from zeta potential and settling experiments. Rheological measurements on concentrated slurries enabled identification of the optimal concentration of each dispersant and showed that PEI cationic polyelectrolytes were most effective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
