    Abstract : The aim of this thesis work was to gain understanding of the interactions between talc mineral and surfaces, liquids and chemicals relevant for industrial applications, such as pulp and paper. Talc is used in the pulp and paper industry as a filler pigment, in control of pitch (lipophilic extractives) deposits and as a coating pigment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Particle interactions at the nanoscale : From colloidal processing to self-assembled arrays

    Author : Bertrand Faure; Lennart Bergström; Albert Philipse; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Colloidal processing; nanoparticles; colloidal forces; titania; iron oxide; Hamaker constant; surface modification; rheology; Monte Carlo simulations; collective properties; superparamagnetism; finite-size effects; Materials Chemistry; materialkemi;

    Abstract : Nanostructured materials are the next generation of high-performance materials, harnessing the novel properties of their nanosized constituents. The controlled assembly of nanosized particles and the design of the optimal nanostructure require a detailed understanding of particle interactions and robust methods to tune them. READ MORE
