Abstract

It is generally agreed that measurements and standards play an integral role in the manufacture of ceramic materials. They enhance reliability by providing a basis for quantifying and comparing material properties during each phase of the manufacturing process. Equally important is the establishment of a uniform and widely accepted nomenclature to permit the efficient exchange of scientific and technical information. This document contains a practical guide to the nomenclature of dispersion systems. It was compiled as a resource for those working in particle dispersion-based application, particularly in the ceramic sciences.
