Abstract:
This paper presents results from measurements of viscosity of suspensions of Yttrium Oxide Y2O3 ceramic nanopowder in ethyl alcohol. The study was conducted at the request of and in cooperation with the ICMB. This research will add important information about the formation and viscosity characteristics of suspensions of nanopowders. The behavior of nanopowder suspensions has been examined in a wide range of shear rates from 0.01 s(-1) to 2000 s(-1). Additionally, the behavior of the suspension has been studied in the temperature range from -15 degrees C to 20 degrees C. Complementary experiments have been performed by application of a Rheo-NMR at Bruker Biospin and by the use of RheoScope at ThermoFisher companies.

Surface Tension, Capillary Action, and Viscosity
The various IMFs between identical molecules of a substance are examples of cohesive forces. The molecules within a liquid are surrounded by other molecules and are attracted equally in all directions by the cohesive forces within the liquid. However, the molecules on the surface of a liquid are attracted only by about one-half as many molecules. Because of the unbalanced molecular attractions on the surface molecules, liquids contract to form a shape that minimizes the number...
