TURBISCAN: History, Development, Application to Colloids and Dispersions

Abstract:

Turbiscan is a new rapid and nondestructive method that has found increasing use in detecting physical destabilisation of concentrated and liquid dispersions. This review introduces the history and development of Tubiscan and focuses on applications of Turbiscan. The applications of Tubican were wildly used in dispersion stability of drug, carbon nanotubes dispersion, alumina suspension, emulsion stabilization and sedimentation behavior studying.
