Selective dispersive component

In addition to solvents and diluents, formulations may contain emulsifiers, dispersants, chelating agents, thickeners, defoamers, and more. The large number and variety of each type makes selecting the components for a formulation difficult and time consuming. 

The subscripts refer to components 1 and 2 and o indicates the average value of a for the two components. ACr is due to a selective dispersion, the capability of the technique to separate two different components, whereas a is an indicator of random dispersions. 

Enhanced thermal conductivity useful in advanced packaging of electronic components could be achieved through selective dispersion of conductive high aspect ratio nanofillers into a polymer blend where they could segregate to form self-assembled conducting pathways. Mechanical properties could similarly benefit (Xuet al. 2013). 

Interfadal tension between two fluid phases is a definite and accurately measurable property depending on the properties of both phases. Also, the contact angle, depending now on the properties of the three phases, is an accurately measurable property. Experimental approaches are described, e.g., in Refs. 8,60, and 63 and in Ref. 62, where especially detailed discussion of the Wilhehny technique is presented. Theories such as harmonic mean theory, geometric mean theory, and acid base theory (reviewed, e.g., in Refs. 8, 20, and 64) allow calculation of the soHd surface energy (because it is difficult to directly measure) from the contact angle measurements with selected test liquids with known surface tension values. These theories require introduction of polar and dispersive components of the surface free energy. 

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... 

XRF spectrometers have two major objectives (a) to determine the spectral distribution of the X-rays emitted from the sample (b) the measurement of the intensity of the selected spectral component. In wavelength-dispersive XRF, the spectrum is dispersed into different wavelengths by Bragg diffraction at different crystals. Intensities are measured by electronic detectors. In energy-dispersive spectrometers both energy dispersion and intensity measurement are performed by electronic detectors thus for... 

Table 5,5 shows a good agreement between the calculated and experimental values, In addition to the total value determined experimentally, one can also analyze the contribution of the dispersive and electrostatic components as presented in Table 5,4, For all anions, the change in the dispersive component is moderate as the carbon chain length increases. Almost all variations in the total solubility parameter are due to changes in the polar component, which decreases with increasing carbon chain length (which is most likely related to the trends in the charge density depicted in Figure 5,1), In contrast, the nature of the anion has an impact on both the disperse and polar components. With these few anions, the disperse components can be engineered to be in between 21 and 25, and the polar components can be selected in the range of 13-25,...

When two or more molecular species involved in a separation are both adsorbed, selectivity effects become important because of interaction between the 2eobte and the adsorbate molecule. These interaction energies include dispersion and short-range repulsion energies (( ) and ( )j ), polarization energy (( )p), and components attributed to electrostatic interactions. 

The most commonly used scale inhibitors are low molecular weight acrylate polymers and organophosphoms compounds (phosphonates). Both classes of materials function as threshold inhibitors however, the polymeric materials are more effective dispersants. Selection of a scale control agent depends on the precipitating species and its degree of supersaturation. The most effective scale control programs use both a precipitation inhibitor and a dispersant. In some cases this can be achieved with a single component (eg, polymers used to inhibit calcium phosphate at near neutral pH).
