Abstract

Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) was used as a dispersant for BaTiO3 in a toluene-methanol system and its efficiency was evaluated by measuring the zeta potential and by a rheological study of the suspension. Addition of only 1.6 vol % low-molecular-weight (50000) PVB is effective in making a well-dispersed suspension. But a lower concentration (0.6 vol %) of high-molecular-weight (200 000) PVB is necessary to stabilize the suspension due to the longer chain length of the polymer, which enhances steric stabilization. Dispersion of BaTiO3 by PVB is better in a reverse azeotropic composition of toluene-methanol (72.4:27.6) than in an azeotropic composition.
