Stability and phase separation behaviour of systems of particles in a medium with added polymer
نویسنده
چکیده
The stability of barium carbonate (BaCO3) suspensions in the presence of the dispersants, xanthan gum, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and carrageenan, has been studied using a phase separation technique. These materials have been found to stabilise the BaCO3 suspensions by increasing the viscosity of the medium. Of the three polymer dispersants, xanthan gum is the most effective in stabilising and destabilising the suspensions. The experimental results are compared to the phase separation and stability of non-aqueous latex suspensions in the presence of non-adsorbing (free) polymers. The systems consist of poly (hydroxystearic) acid (PHS) coated poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) particles in dodecane and well-characterized cispoly(isoprene) (PIP) and poly(isobutylene) as the non-adsorbing added polymers.

Phase-Destabilization Mechanism of Polymer-Modified Bitumens in Quiescent Annealing
Bitumen as a binder in coating and insulating materials is modified with polymers to improve its performance in service conditions. Almost all polymers are incompatible with bitumen, and at high temperatures due to relatively very low viscosity of the bitumen phase, are separated from it. These lead to a considerable limitation in the use and handling of polymer-modified bitumens. An understand...

متن کاملEffect of bilayer flexibility and medium viscosity on separation of liposomes upon stagnation
Liposomes are widely used as drug delivery systems in different forms including osmotic pumps, infusion and IV injection. In spite of these, there is no data available about their behavior under convective flow (e.g. infusion or osmotic pumps) and upon stagnation in such drug delivery systems. As a part of a series of investigations in this area, the present study investigates the effects of vi...
