Nanodesigning of Multifunctional Ceramic Composites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
Nanodesigning of multifunctional ceramic composites with colloids is discussed from a fundamental point of view. We start with one-component systems, where packing density is the primary concern. Then we extend the discussion to binary systems and deal with the problem of homogeneity. We show that the structure is controlled by the nature of bonding between the particles and by the particle-particle interaction. Surfactants are used to modiy these properties, by, first, protecting the active particle surfaces to prevent solid bond formation, and, second, altering the interparticle interaction to provide a “lubricating” effect. In weakly attractive multicomponent systems, not only are we able to achieve high-density packing through restructuring, but we can also control the scale of homogeneity.
