Many attempts have been made to fabricate various types of inorganic nanoparticle-filled
polymers (filler/polymer nanocomposites) by a mechanical or chemical approach. However …

The importance and possibilities to modify the morphology by mixing and dispersing is often
neglected or underestimated. This Review works out the different opportunities in slurry …

Dispersion of primary nanotube agglomerates in polymer melts is one of the difficult tasks
when applying melt mixing for nanocomposite preparation. Hence, there is a need for a …

The microstructure of CNC particles depends strongly on the drying method employed
during manufacturing. The effect of different drying techniques, including spray drying …

Experiments aimed at studying the mechanisms of agglomerate breakup due to the
application of a simple shear flow field were performed in a cone and plate transparent …

The dispersion of carbon black (CB) in an immiscible polymer blend of poly‐(methyl
methacrylate)(PMMA) and polypropylene (PP) was studied as the viscosity of PMMA …

The Handbook of Polymer Science and Techonology: Composites and Specialty
Applications, Volume 4 is organized with 14 chapters covering the end-use properties and …

Vanillin is a natural flavor and is widely used in the fields of medicine, food and
optoelectronics. However, the stable form I of vanillin usually shows needle or fiber-like …

Publisher Summary Mixing and dispersion of viscous fluids—blending in the polymer
processing literature—is the result of complex interaction between flow and events occurring …

The development of multiphase liquid‐liquid morphologies during mixing at small Reynolds
numbers has been modeled. The mixing process is divided into (i) stretching of dispersed …
