Innovative Research of Ultra-Jet Dispersion and Suspension Technologies for Processing and Modifying Liquids

Abstract

Currently used dispersion methods are not able to provide sufficient dispersion of nanomodifiers in liquids. This circumstance significantly reduces the effectiveness of the subsequent use of liquid-phase nanomodifiers which are widely used in the production of a variety of composite polymer and ceramic structures. The article discusses a new method of dispersing and suspending liquids using ultra-jet technology. The results of experimental testing confirming the effectiveness of ultra-jet technologies for producing liquid suspensions with nanomodifiers are presented. Two different types of powder were chosen as liquid modifiers: boehmite and carbon nanotubes. Moreover, special technological equipment was developed to conduct the experiment. The results of the analysis of the obtained liquid suspensions containing nanomodifiers allow us to recommend this dispersion technology for use on an industrial scale.
