The median diameter of these metal oxide perticles was measured in many organic solvents. The effect of the kind of solvent on the flocculation/dispersion behavior of metal oxide particles was evaluated from these results. Hansen's solubility parameters with three dimensions were applied to the evaluation of the flocculation/dispersion behavior for fine metal oxide particles in organic solvents. The numeral balance among the Hansen's solubility parameters of various solvents was plotted in a triangular chart, and then the points of solvents with similar median diameter of the particle were linked. In the triangular chart, these linked lines were not intersected each other and there was the specific point at which the best dispersibility of the particles was obtained.}, pages = {263--269}, title = {Dispersion and Flocculation Behavior of Fine Metal Oxide Particles in Various Solvents}, volume = {20}, year = {2002} }
