Abstract
An overview on molecular structure of adsorbed additive orientates at particle interface in order to understand the ability of dispersants to affect dispersion behaviour is presented. With a wide range of molecular structures, adsorbed additive molecule generates different conformational molecular structure (CMS) combined with interaction of a range of forces occurring with the adsorbed additive molecules and between the adsorbed additive molecules; hence change the surface chemistry of particles in the dispersion.
