The changes of character of distribution on nanoparticles sizes take place depending on the nature of nanocomposites, dielectric penetration and polarity of liquid phase. Below characteristics of finely dispersed suspensions of metal/carbon nanocomposites are given. The distribution of nanoparticles in water, alcohol and water-alcohol suspensions prepared based on the above technique are determined with the help of laser ana-... 

The IR speetra of metal/earbon and their finely dispersed suspensions in different media (water and organic substances) have been studied for the first time. It has been found that the introduction of super small quantities of prepared nanocomposites leads to the significant change in band intensity in IR spectra of the media. The attenuation of oscillations generated by the introduction of nanocomposites after the time interval specific for the pair nanocomposite—medium has been registered. 

To select the components of fine suspensions with the help of quantum-chemical modeling by the scheme described before [5], first, the interaction possibility of the material component being modified (or its solvent or surface-active substance) with metal/carbon nanocomposite is defined. The suspensions are prepared by the dispersion of the nanopowder in ultrasound station. The stability of fine suspension is controlled with the help of laser analyzer. The action on the corresponding regions participating in the formation of fine dispersed suspension or sol is determined... 

To provide uniform distribution of carbon metal-containing nanostmc-tures throughout the bulk of the modified polymer is a very complicated task. The standard method for the uniform distribution of a nano-addition throughout the bulk of material is the preparation of fine-dispersed suspensions of nanoparticles in different media. 

The method for the modification of polymer with carbon metal-containing nanostructures includes the preparation of fine-dispersed suspension (FDS) based on the solution of polymer in methylene chloride. Then, earbon metal-containing nanostructures are added into the prepared FDS. For the refinement and uniform distribution of carbon metal-containing nanostructures, the prepared mixture is treated with ultrasound. To prepare a film, the solvent is evaporated from the mixture at heating to 100°C. 

Many compounds, including clay minerals, form needle- or plateshaped crystals. With finely dispersed minerals, the electron diffraction method can give a special kind of diffraction pattern, the texture pattern, which contains a two dimensional distribution of a regularly arranged set of 3D reflections [2], Specimens of fine-grained lamellar or fiber minerals, prepared by sedimentation from suspensions onto supporting surfaces or films, form textures in which the component microcrystals have a preferred orientation. Texture patterns of lamellar crystals tilted with respect to the electron beam are called oblique texture electron diffraction patterns [1]. 

Free alkali metals may be employed as solutions in certain ether solvents, in liquid arnmonia, or as fine suspensions in inert solvents. The latter are prepared by heating the metal above its melting point in the solvent, stirring vigorously to form an emulsion, and then cooling to obtain a fine dispersion of the metal. 

Using the method reported in [89], CS-PLA NP were prepared at RT. To achieve this, PLA was dissolved in dichloromethane to form a fine dispersion. This solution was quickly poured into an acetic acid solution containing CS and polyethylene oxide (PEO). The mixture was then sonicated to form an emulsion and stirred until the organic solvent fully evaporated. NP were precipitated by the addition of water and then cooling the suspension was finally evaporated using a rotary evaporator. 

An emulsion has been defined above as a thermodynamically unstable heterogeneous system of two immiscible liquids where one is dispersed in the other. There are two principal possibilities for preparing emulsions the destruction of a larger volume into smaller sub-units (comminution method) or the construction of emulsion droplets from smaller units (condensation method). Both methods are of technical importance for the preparation of emulsions for polymerization processes and will be discussed in more detail below. To impart a certain degree of kinetic stability to emulsions, different additives are employed which have to fulfil special demands in the particular applications. The most important class of such additives, which are also called emulsifying agents, are surface-active and hence influence the interfacial properties. In particular, they have to counteract the rapid coalescence of the droplets caused by the van der Waals attraction forces. In the polymerization sense, these additives can be roughly subdivided into surfactants for emulsion polymerization, polymers for suspension and dispersion polymerization, finely dispersed insoluble particles (also for suspension polymerization), and combinations thereof (cf. below).

There are two principal PVC resins for producing vinyl foams suspension resin and dispersion resin. The suspension resin is prepared by suspension polymerization with a relatively large particle size in the 30—250 p.m range and the dispersion resin is prepared by emulsion polymerization with a fine particle size in the 0.2—2 p.m range (245). The latter is used in the manufacture of vinyl plastisols which can be fused without the appHcation of pressure. In addition, plastisol blending resins, which are fine particle size suspension resins, can be used as a partial replacement for the dispersion resin in a plastisol system to reduce the resin costs. 

The construction of calibration curves is recommended in nephelometric and turbidimetric determinations, since the relationship between the optical properties of the suspension and the concentration of the disperse phase is, at best, semi-empirical. If the cloudiness or turbidity is to be reproducible, the utmost care must be taken in its preparation. The precipitate must be very fine, so as not to settle rapidly. The intensity of the scattered light depends upon the number and the size of the particles in suspension, and provided that the average size of particles is fairly reproducible, analytical applications are possible. 

Suspensions can be prepared by either dispersing finely divided powders in an appropriate vehicle or... 

Colloidal potassium has recently been proved as a more active reducer than the metal that has been conventionally powdered by shaking it in hot octane (Luche et al. 1984, Chou and You 1987, Wang et al. 1994). To prepare colloidal potassium, a piece of this metal in dry toluene or xylene under an argon atmosphere is submitted to ultrasonic irradiation at ca. 10°C. A silvery blue color rapidly develops, and in a few minutes the metal disappears. A common cleaning bath (e.g., Sono-clean, 35 kHz) filled with water and crushed ice can be used. A very fine suspension of potassium is thus obtained, which settles very slowly on standing. The same method did not work in THF (Luche et al. 1984). Ultrasonic waves interact with the metal by their cavitational effects. These effects are closely related to the physical constants of the medium, such as vapor pressure, viscosity, and surface tension (Sehgal et al. 1982). All of these factors have to be taken into account when one chooses a metal to be ultrasonically dispersed in a given solvent.
