Journal ArticleDOI
The role of particles in stabilising foams and emulsions
TL;DR: Much research in emulsions can be applied to foam systems, however evidence would suggest foam systems are under a number of additional constraints, and the stability 'window' for particles is smaller, in terms of size and contact angle ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface chemistry-rheology relationships in concentrated mineral suspensions
TL;DR: In this article, the yield stress of concentrated aqueous suspensions of alumina, zirconia and kaolin can be controlled through regulation of pH and the addition of inorganic electrolytes, ionic surfactants and polyelectrolytes (polymers).
Journal ArticleDOI
Zeta potentials and yield stresses of silica suspensions in concentrated monovalent electrolytes: isoelectric point shift and additional attraction
TL;DR: The zeta potentials and yield stresses of silica suspensions were measured over a wide range of monovalent electrolyte concentrations and an attractive ion-ion correlation force is presumed responsible for the additional attraction necessary to explain the observed results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charging Behavior at the Alumina–Water Interface and Implications for Ceramic Processing
George V. Franks,Yang Gan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the interaction of water and the alumina surface is comprehensively reviewed and the role of surface charge on the adsorption of processing additives is briefly discussed, and the influence of these forces on suspension properties such as rheological behavior is outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flocculation Mechanism Induced by Cationic Polymers Investigated by Light Scattering
Ying Zhou,George V. Franks +1 more
TL;DR: It has been found that the effect of shear rate on the mass fractal dimension depends on polymer charge density, and three cationic polymers were chosen as flocculants to aggregate silica particles.
