Description
Summary:Rheological measurements and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy are used to probe the structure of model magnetic paints which contain ferrimagnetic pigment particles of barium ferrite, a wetting resin, and a solvent. As the resin concentration c increases, the storage modulus goes through a minimum. At low c, a flocculated network is developed in the paint. Milling of the paint at insufficient resin concentration does not improve its dispersion quality, but instead results in the formation of a stronger network. Milling at higher c effectively disrupts the network into small aggregates. The resin concentration required to provide effective milling is lower for paints containing the larger iron oxide particles.
