A Study on Fabrication of Cellulose Nanofibers in Water

Kim K-Y, Jeong W.-Y., Lim D.-Y., Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, KR

Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were successfully fabricated by fibrillation of wood pulp cellulose into submicron and/or nanoscale nanofibers with a microfluidizer in water solution. CNFs have the great potential as reinforcing materials for polymeric composite materials. [...]

Production of Polymer Nanosuspensions Using MicrofluidizerTM Processor Based Processes

Panagiotou T., Mesite S.V., Bernard J.M., Chomistek K.J., Fisher R.J., Microfluidics, US

Two techniques are reported here that can create nano-suspensions of many different polymers types with varying particle sizes by controlling the formulation and process variables. Microfluidics Reaction Technology (MRT) was used with the solvent anti/solvent [...]

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 [...]
