Abstract

In this paper results of efforts to prepare stable aqueous suspensions of high surface area (> 100 m2 /gr) yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia powders are presented using a low molecular weight ammonium polyacrylic acid deflocculant. Zetapotentials, viscosities, agglomerate sizes and sedimentation volumes have been measured to find the optimum pH and deflocculant concentration. It has been found that the optimum pH-value coincides with the pH at which the polyacrylic acid is fully dissociated. Using deflocculant concentrations below the optimum value leads to a highly unstable system, while concentrations above the optimum value influence the stability in a much weaker way.
