Solid–liquid mixing is a crucial step for many industrial processes ranging from battery electrode manufacturing to pharmaceutical formulations. These processes often require uniform suspension of ...

Materials scientists are measuring the rolling friction of tiny, micrometer-sized particles. These measurements permit them to better understand everyday products such as concrete. For the first time, ...

Particle suspension behavior in a 50 wt% solid–liquid suspension at 140 rpm for two impeller positions. Placement near the solid–liquid interface achieved suspension within 15 seconds, whereas lower ...

The measuring tip of an atomic force microscope with a specially designed holder in which a spherical particle is “trapped”. Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are ...
