Effect of Variant Counterions on Stability and Particle Size of Silica Sol

The effects of variant counterions with ionic strength of 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.25 mol·kg^-1 on the stability and particle size of silica sols have been studied using the traditional methods of Ubbelohde viscosity measurement, TEM and titration respectively, finding that the stability and particle size of the silica sols are all concerned with the acidic, positively electric properties and the sizes of the counterions, as well as the attraction between the counterions and surface silicon hydroxyl groups of the silica sols. The small positively charged counterions lead to the decrease in particle sizes, making the silica sol the most stable. But the larger weakly acidic counterions can restrict the particle sizes of the silica sols and easily make the sols coagulate. It was also found that there existed a linear relationship between log r and log η, which has not ever been reported. The effect of temperature on the stability and particle sizes was also discussed.     

纳米Fe_3O_4及钴离子掺杂Fe_3O_4:有机碱共沉淀制备和磁性质

以有机碱四甲基氢氧化铵(TMAH)为沉淀剂合成了纳米Fe3O4和Co2+掺杂的纳米Fe3O4粒子。分别讨论了碱用量,铁盐溶液浓度,反应温度,有机碱及PEG-4000的分散性等因素对纳米Fe3O4的形貌影响。结果表明,所合成的纳米Fe3O4为30nm左右的反尖晶石型面心立方结构,有机碱除了起沉淀剂作用,还能够提高纳米Fe3O4的分散性。本文还讨论了不同Co2+掺入量的纳米Fe3O4粒子的磁性质,结果表明Co2+掺杂的纳米Fe3O4粒子的矫顽力在不同掺入量的下有较大的改变。当Co2+掺入量为10.0%时,纳米Fe3O4的矫顽力达到最大值,为1628Oe。
