The Use of Nomenclature in Dispersion Science and Technology (Classic Reprint) by Vincent A. Hackley Pdf
Excerpt from The Use of Nomenclature in Dispersion Science and Technology The use of nomenclature for describing dispersed particulate systems, along with their associated properties and components, is often inconsistent and sub ject to misinterpretation in the technical and scientific literature. For example, terms for describing the state of association of particles in suspension (e. G., aggregate or agglomerate) often carry specific connotations that vary among different authors. This guide has been prepared as a resource for researchers, engineers and students working in dispersion-based applications. In compiling this guide, we drew on a number of resources, including books, review articles and published terminologies. To the extent possible, every effort was made to maintain a degree of uniformity with existing standards and conventions, including published terminologies from the American Concrete Institute (aci), the British Standards Institute (b si), the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (iupac) and the Society of Rheology, as well as current and draft astm and iso standards. We intend this guide to serve as a resource for practitioners working in various fields in which ceramic dispersions are used, where ceramic is broadly defined as a non-metallic inorganic material. Equations have been used sparingly, and only where necessary for clarity or where they are integral to the subject at hand. This is not, nor is it intended to be, an exhaustive compilation. Rather, this document focuses on commonly encountered terms, and endeavors to provide a consistent framework for improved technical communication. The technical nomenclature portion of this guide is divided into two sections. The first section is derived from Special Publication 945, and deals with general topics related to dispersion science and technology, such as particle agglomeration and colloidal stability. The second section is based on Special Publication 946, and provides definitions of terms and expressions relating to the measurement of rheological properties in liquid-based ceramic dispersions suspensions, pastes and gels).
