Stabilization of a Suspension of Microsized Particles of Doped Cerium Dioxide with Nanoparticles for Electrophoresis
摘要
Abstract
The results of studies of the zeta potential, pH, and electrophoretic deposition (EPD) characteristics of Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9 (SDC-m) micropowder suspensions with SDC-n nanoparticles added in different proportions are presented. It is shown that a suspension of microsized particles is stabilized due to the introduction of highly charged nanoparticles. The thickness of the coating changes nonmonotonically during the EPD from an SDC-m/SDC-n suspension at higher contents of SDC-n nanoparticles, while the zeta potential and resistance of the suspension tend to increase. It is shown that the greatest thickness of a continuous and homogeneous SDC coating is achieved at a 5 wt % content of SDC-n nanoparticles.
