Abstract

The dispersion of nanoparticles in nanocomposites seriously affects the material properties. However, the current nanoparticle dispersibility assessment mainly relies on the microscopic imaging method, which has the limitations of being lossy and having a narrow detection area, and is unable to realize the assessment of the overall dispersibility of the particles in bulk materials. This article uses nonlinear ultrasonic technology (NLUS) to achieve the overall dispersion evaluation of nanoparticles. Theoretical and experimental results show that: the nanoparticles nonlinear coefficient (Δβ) and the particle agglomeration degree (K) approximately satisfy the linear variation relationship (R² > 0.9), while the smaller the elastic modulus of the particles is, the larger the slope of the Δβ-K fitting function is; the results of the NLUS test are not affected by the factors of surface modification. The error between the NLUS nondestructive evaluation results of particle dispersion and the SEM lossy test results ranged from 3 % to 15 %. The single detection region of NLUS is a three-dimensional region of ultrasonic wave propagation and the single detection time is short, these features enable NLUS to be applied in the rapid non-destructive evaluation of the overall dispersion of large volume polymer-based nano-dielectric material particles.

期刊介绍： Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests: Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods. Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition. Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces). Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles. Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology. Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying. Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body. Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters. For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
