Modeling of the stability of water-based graphite dispersions using polyvinylpyrrolidone on the basis of the DLVO theory.

The applications of graphite nanoparticle dispersions emerge due to the increasing importance of printed electronics and microelectronics, lithium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors. Promising technologies are inkjet printing processes, which are significantly influenced by the dispersion stability. Achieving stability is particularly challenging for nanoparticle dispersions due to the strong attractive forces emanating from the large particle surfaces.

A Novel Approach to the Holistic 3D Characterization of Weld Seams-Paving the Way for Deep Learning-Based Process Monitoring.

In an industrial environment, the quality assurance of weld seams requires extensive efforts. The most commonly used methods for that are expensive and time-consuming destructive tests, since quality assurance procedures are difficult to integrate into production processes. Beyond that, available test methods allow only the assessment of a very limited set of characteristics.
