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.

This is a tabletop measuring device developed to measure transparency. What makes it excellent is that, unlike conventional methods which only measured total light transmittance, it can measure separately for surface scattering and internal diffusion. Using a stable LED light source, it receives light that has passed through the sample film in an integrating sphere. Inside the integrating sphere, a combination of sensors and shutters allows for analysis that distinguishes between wide-angle scattering and narrow-angle scattering based on their arrangement. Additionally, if a dedicated cell is used, liquids can also be measured. *For detailed information, please refer to the PDF document. For more details, feel free to contact us.*
