Because stabilization in the Verwey and Hamaker picture is electrical, the use of electrical methods for predicting the stability of a dispersion appears to be mandatory. Other than the work of Voet described above, little has been done in this direction. Beyond doubt, the important developments in the area of dispersion stability that will come forth will be based either on electrokinetics (for high dielectric media, especially hydrocolloids) or electrostatics. 

One of the first theoretical attempts to understand steric stabilization of dispersions was based on an entropic mechanism that resembles the elastic contribution to AGR. We consider this mechanism in Example 13.3. 

Isohexides exhibit excellent properties as plasticizers for polyvinyl alcohol polymers.2 Compounds obtained from isosorbide and trialkylaluminum proved to be highly active cocatalysts for polymerization of alkenes. Such derivatives, which were supposed to be oligomeric O-aluminum-isosorbides, are of glass-like appearance and exhibit pyrophoric properties.255 Isosorbide is a component of mixtures used for water-based pigment inks, having excellent dispersion stability, which is necessary for ink-jet printing.256 257... 

It should be pointed out that this method relies on the efficient dispersion of nanotubes in the relevant solvent. The choice of solvent is generally made based on the solubility of the polymer. However, pristine nanotubes usually cannot be well dispersed in most solvents. To get around this problem, Xia et al. (17) compared the dispersion of MWNT-graft-PU, MWNT-OH and raw MWNTs in 0.2% aqueous solution of sodium lauryl sulfate. The results showed that MWNT-graft-PU has a better dispersion stability compared to MWNTs and MWNT-OH. The incorporation of polyurethane-grafted carbon nanotubes had a better reinforcing effect compared to the raw carbon nanotubes. This should be attributed to the improved interfacial interaction between polyurethane matrix and carbon nanotubes. 

Surfactants— This group includes various bases used for different applications, such as protein dispersants, stabilizers of aqueous pigments, blood preservatives, flotation collectors, etc. Apart from rare cases, they are phenolic derivatives ... 

The bulk density of abrasives also has a direct impact on the slurry dispersion stability. The weight of the abrasives might overcome the repulsive forces among particles required for the stability of the slurry system. For example, the particle settling issue is much more severe for alumina-based slurry than that for silica because of the difference in particle density [79]. 

Compared to silica, ceiia particles polish the planar surfaces more effectively. It has been shown that some ceria slurries exhibit the reverse-Prestonian behavior on certain polishing platforms and not for silica-based slurries. Ceria-based slurries often contain additives that are specifically designed to alter the surface charge on the abrasive particle and/or wafer surface, whereas silica slurries generally do not contain additives other than dispersion stabilizers and pH-adjusting agents. 

The surfactant systems used for mobility control in miscible flooding do not form a surfactant rich third phase, and lack its buffering action against surfactant adsorption. Furthermore, for obvious economic reasons, it is desirable to keep the surfactant concentration as low as possible, which increases the sensitivity of the dispersion stability to surfactant loss. Hence, surfactant adsorption is necessarily an even greater concern in the use of foams, emulsions, and dispersions for mobility control in miscible-flood EOR. The importance of surfactant adsorption in surfactant-based mobility control is widely recognized by researchers. A decision tree has even been published for selection of a mobility-control surfactant based on adsorption characteristics (12). 

VARISOFT 475-based softeners for household use can be made in a wide range of concentrations. This product is not recommended for concentration under 4 weight-percent solids unless suitable dispersion stabilizers have been included. 

Along with the classification of disperse systems based on the phase state of the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium, and their classification as coarse dispersed or colloidal, structured or unstructured, dilute or concentrated, one can also subdivide disperse systems into lyophilic or lyophobic types. Systems belonging to these principally different classes differ in the nature of colloid stability and in the intensity of interfacial intermolecular interactions. High degree of similarity between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium, and, consequently, compensation of the...
