Many ceramic processing operations involving powder suspensions aim to optimize the solids loading while maintaining low viscosity. Use of nanopowder suspensions are challenging as they exhibit unexpectedly high viscosities. Low molecular weight saccharides were added to decrease the viscosities of alumina nanopowder suspensions as they modify effective solids content. It was also recently reported that suspensions with very low ionic strengths exhibit lower viscosities as they create high repulsive barrier between the particles. In the present study, the effect of the combination of these two additives on the viscosity is reported. Low temperature differential scanning calorimetry (LT-DSC) and in situ attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) results showed that two additives act independently. Suspensions containing NaCl and fructose yield green compacts with lower porosity and higher strength.

DESIGN OF A CONTINUOUS FLOW MAGNETIC RESONANCE SYSTEM FOR RHEOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION Bölükkaya, Zikrullah; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Mert, Behiç; Department of Food Engineering (2022-12) In food processing, handling, pumping, and extrusion of dilute and viscous fluids, emulsions, and suspensions are important for production purposes. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers the possibility to measure the rheological properties of different fluids in a non-invasive mode and is highly selective (in situ, online) to study the structural changes, or inner transport processes (without wasting samples and disturbing production) in flowing materials. In this study, a bench top Magnetic Resonance I...
Experimental characterization of some water soluble polymers used in drilling and completion fluids Gürbüz, Berkay; Mehmetoğlu, Mustafa Tanju; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2012) Properly preparing the drilling fluid is an essential part of any successful drilling operation, especially in complex operations like deviated and horizontal drilling. Understanding the flow behavior of the polymers used in the drilling fluids under different conditions takes a key part in this preparation. In this study, shear rheology of some traditionally used water soluble polymers in drilling and completion fluids; namely PAC (polyanionic cellulose) and xanthan gum, were investigated experimentally. I...
Hydration layer: a potential key to manage colloidal processing of oxide nanopowder suspensions Çınar, Simge (2017-07-13) The majority of ceramic processing techniques relies on the successful slurry preparation that ensures homogeneous distribution of powders in a highly loaded slurry with manageable flow characteristics. Only with effective slurry formulation, crack- and pore- free structures can ultimately be manufactured. However, this still remain a challenging issue for advancing technology of additive manufacturing. The available models to predict the colloidal properties of nanopowder slurries therefore require improve...
Effects of electrolyte pattern on mechanical and electrochemical properties of solid oxide fuel cells TİMURKUTLUK, BORA; Celik, Selahattin; Toros, Serkan; Timurkutluk, Cigdem; Mat, Mahmut D.; Kaplan, Yuksel (2012-09-01) In order to enhance the electrochemical performance and reduce the operation temperature of a conventional electrolyte supported solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), a three layered electrolyte with various geometry is designed and fabricated. Novel three layered electrolytes comprise a dense and thin scandia alumina stabilized zirconia (ScAlSZ) electrolyte layer sandwiched between two hallow ScAlSZ electrolyte layers each having the same thickness as the support but machined into a filter like architecture in the...
Influence of bound water layer on the viscosity of oxide nanopowder suspensions Çınar, Simge; Akınç, Müfit (2015-01-01) Nanopowder suspensions exhibit much higher viscosities compared to micron size powders. The current viscosity models greatly underestimate the viscosity of nanopowder suspensions and hence are inaccurate. Recently, it was shown that a bound water layer around the particles is partially responsible for the high viscosities of alumina nanopowder suspensions. In the present study, the existence and effect of the bound water layer on suspension viscosity has been validated for other oxide systems such as zircon...
