Abstract
The dispersion of SiC nanopowders in ethanol solution was studied by sedimentation test, particle size measurement and TEM analysis. The dispersion behavior of SiC nanopowders in ethanol solution was strongly dependent on the pH values, types and amounts of dispersant. PEI was found to be effective for the dispersion of SiC nanopowders in ethanol solution. With the addition of PEI, the isoelectric points of SiC nanopowders in ethanol solution were at pH 9.5, and shift to pH 12.3. The stability of SiC suspension increased with the dispersant content increasing until reached 2.5 wt% PEI. The suitable pH value for the dispersion of SiC nanopowders should lower than 10.
