Abstract
Nanoparticles tend to form large clusters (aggregates and agglomerates) which need to be broken up when dispersing in a liquid. The dispersion of nanoparticle clusters has been studied to investigate the kinetics and mechanisms of break up with two types of particles: fumed silica and aluminium oxide. Results obtained under different processing conditions using an in-line rotor-stator are reported. It could be concluded that break up occurs predominantly through erosion in the case of silica and shattering with aluminium oxide.
