TiO2nanoparticles are prone to aggregate in aqueous solution, which limits its extensive application. Several researches have been carried on the stability of TiO2suspensions. In this study, four common dispersants including ethanol, tetrahydrofuran (THF), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) have been chosen to detect their effects on stability of TiO2aqueous suspensions. The experimental results showed that THF and SHMP were efficient dispersants for TiO2nanoparticles in aqueous solution.
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.
