Abstract
Under W/O emulsion method using a homogenizer, ${\alpha}$-alumina powder was prepared to evaluate the effects of experimental conditions on its properties, such as particle shape, extent of aggregation, average particle size and distribution. The experimental parameters were the change of type, quantity and composition of emulsifiers as well as the change of O : W volumetric ratio and agitation rate. As results, in the case of the use of single surfactant of SP80, sphere-like particles could be prepared and the average particle size was hardly affected by the agitation speed more than 16000 rpm regardless of SP80 quantity used. When the extent of aggregation among sphere-like particles prepared using $HLB_m$ = 5 of [SP80 & TW80] was compared with that prepared using SP80 at the same vol% surfactant and agitation speed, the former showed more or less low aggregation phenomena and average particle size was slightly reduced. In addition, the fraction of nano-sized particles with low aggregation was increased by the use of 0.1 vol% n-butanol, as a co-surfactant, with $HLB_m$ = 5 of [SP80 & TW80].
