Dispersion is a process by which (in the case of solid dispersing in a liquid) agglomerated particles are separated from each other, and a new interface between the inner surface of the liquid dispersion medium and the surface of the dispersed particles is generated. This process is facilitated by molecular diffusion and convection. [4]
Dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency. [1] Sometimes the term chromatic dispersion is used to refer to optics specifically, as opposed to wave propagation in general. A medium having this common property may be termed a dispersive medium.
In fluid dynamics, eddy diffusion, eddy dispersion, or turbulent diffusion is a process by which fluid substances mix together due to eddy motion. These eddies can vary widely in size, from subtropical ocean gyres down to the small Kolmogorov microscales , and occur as a result of turbulence (or turbulent flow).
Dispersion (chemistry), a system in which particles are dispersed in a continuous phase of a different composition; Dispersion (geology), a process whereby sodic soil disperses when exposed to water; Dispersion (materials science), the fraction of atoms of a material exposed to the surface; Dispersion polymerization, a polymerization process
In polymer science, dispersion polymerization is a heterogeneous polymerization process carried out in the presence of a polymeric stabilizer in the reaction medium. . Dispersion polymerization is a type of precipitation polymerization, meaning the solvent selected as the reaction medium is a good solvent for the monomer and the initiator, but is a non-solvent for the po
An example of the use of landscape genetics as a means to study seed dispersal, for example, involves studying the effects of traffic using motorway tunnels between inner cities and suburban area. [35] Genome wide SNP dataset and species distribution modelling are examples of computational methods used to examine different dispersal modes. [34]
Storing a dispersion at high temperatures enables simulation of real life conditions for a product (e.g. tube of sunscreen cream in a car in the summer), but also to accelerate destabilisation processes up to 200 times including vibration, centrifugation and agitation are sometimes used. They subject the product to different forces that pushes ...
In materials science, dispersion is the fraction of atoms of a material exposed to the surface. In general, D = N S /N, where D is the dispersion, N S is the number of surface atoms and N T is the total number of atoms of the material. [1]
