Abstract: An acrylic acid/acrylate ester copolymer was employed as a dispersant for Y-TZPaqueous suspensions. The adsorption of the copolymer on Y-TZPpowder was characterized by using the COD(chemical oxygen demand) method. The addition of this dispersant caused a dramatic increase of the ζ potential in alkaline region and broadened the stable pHregion. SEMand effective diameter analysis showed that the copolymer pronouncedly improved the stability of the suspension. The force-distance curve was measured by using the colloidal probe AFMmethod. The stabilizing mechanism of the dispersant was also discussed.
