Nanoparticle Measurement by Spectroscopic Mie Scattering

Trutna R., Liu M., Chamberlin D., Hadley J., Agilent Technologies, US

We present a spectroscopic technique for measuring particle size. The technique utilizes a UV-Visible spectrophotometer to measure the attenuation spectrum of a particle dispersion due to scattering. Using the Mie scattering theory, we compute the [...]

Deagglomeration and Dispersion of Carbon Nanotubes Using MicrofluidizerTM High Shear Fluid Processors

Panagiotou T., Bernard J.M., Mesite S.V., Microfluidics, US

Microfluidizer processors are used for reduction and/or deagglomeration of particles in liquid media. These continuous processors force multiphase fluids through microchannels at velocities of up to 500 m/s, exposing them to high shear and impact [...]
