Abstract

In an earlier paper (1) it was shown that the aggregation of a commercial D.D.T. formulation was accelerated by the addition of fibers, and that hydrophobic fiber surfaces were much more effective than hydrophilic ones. This investigation has now been repeated and extended using a simple D.D.T. suspension containing only pure materials. The earlier assumption that the phenomenon is an aggregation process has been confirmed and the rate of aggregation has again been shown to depend on the wetting properties of the fiber surface. Some possible mechanisms are discussed.
