Development of Novel Powder Mixing and Dispersion Method Using Nanosecond Pulse Field

Abstract

As a method of mixing ceramic particles, ball milling, jet mill, stirring such as Cyclomix^®, mixing, shear type mixer, etc. have been conventionally used. Although these can be mixed very efficiently, problems of contamination have been pointed out. On the other hand, in our laboratory, we have developed a method to control the movement of ceramic particles with an electric field. Therefore, in this research, we examined whether particle mixing could be performed without causing contamination using an electric field.
