Regarding the stabilization of particle dispersion, it is explained that stabilization occurs due to electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance. Stabilization through steric hindrance is a matter of nanoscale, so it is not visible. In contrast, electrostatic repulsion is relatively easy to understand, such as through zeta potential. However, there is also an impression that measurements from instruments yield numbers that are somewhat unclear. Here, we will introduce approaches that are useful in the experimental field for those who actually conduct coating, dispersion, application, and drying experiments. This section focuses on dispersion stabilization. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF materials. For more information, feel free to contact us.*

If the dispersant does not mix into the system, it will not distribute evenly in the liquid. First, compatibility is the primary point. Naturally, if it does not adsorb onto the surface of the particles that need to be dispersed, stabilization of the dispersion will not begin. The adsorption characteristics are the second point. In experiments, evaluations are conducted on the viscosity and particle size distribution of the dispersion, the viscosity and particle size distribution of the coating liquid, and the gloss, haze, transparency, and color name after application and drying. The third point is the evaluation in the final material system. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF document. For more information, feel free to contact us.*

Paints and coatings using flake pigments and glitter materials, such as metallic and pearl colors, are enjoyable to look at. However, balancing performance aspects such as color development, design, particle orientation, sedimentation prevention, and water resistance can be quite labor-intensive. Typically, flake-shaped pigments overlap each other in the liquid. Especially in water-based systems, the surface is treated to be hydrophobic for water resistance, and if no action is taken, they do not disperse sufficiently in water. *For detailed content of the article, please refer to the PDF document.

In the laboratory, it is presumed that many viscosity measurements are conducted using B-type viscometers and rheometers capable of measuring viscoelastic behavior. It can be quite cumbersome, as the temperature must be controlled, and the equipment is delicate, requiring careful handling of the sample set. As a result, some researchers delegate the measurements to laboratory assistants and only receive the numerical data. However, it is important to note that simply matching the temperature is insufficient, and there may be questions about the reliability of the data. *For more detailed information, please refer to the PDF materials.
