Abstract:In order to study the dispersion and rheological behavior of nanometer alumina slurry,infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),rheological tests,sedimentation experiments,and viscoelasticity tests were used to study the effects of pretreatment of nano-alumina powder,different polyethyleneimine (PEI) dispersants,and ascorbic acid on the rheological behavior of nano-alumina suspension.The results show that the rheology of the suspension is improved after the nano-alumina is pretreated.The dispersion efficiency of low molecular weight PEI (L-PEI) is better than PEI with higher molecular weight (H-PEI),the optimal mass fraction of L-PEI is 1%,and the optimal mass fraction of H-PEI is 5%.The addition of 1% L-PEI and 0.2% ascorbic acid can further improve the dispersion efficiency and obtain stable suspension with lower viscosity.When the volume fraction of nano-alumina suspension is from 15% to 20%,nano-alumina suspension with good dispersion stability can be obtained.
