Abstract
Dispersions of titanium dioxide nanoparticles with terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, salicylic acid, benzoic acid, and pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid were prepared by aqueous grinding. The pH of the dispersions was adjusted by adding either HCl or NaOH, and the viscosity of the dispersions was measured. It was found that the viscosity of the system depends strongly on pH. The qualitative interpretation of the results based on the DLVO theory is presented. The evidence of the effect of bridging interactions on the viscosity of titanium dioxide−dicarboxylic acid dispersions is discussed.Keywords
