Application of laser-induced incandescence to suspended carbon black particles.
For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, laser-induced incandescence (LII) has successfully been applied to carbon black suspensions. A linear correlation between the experimentally derived signal decay time and the mean primary particle size, determined by transmission electron microscopy, for different carbon black particles was found. Moreover, a nonlinear relation similar to that known from measurements of aerosols was observed for the peak LII signal and the laser fluence. Despite different heat transfer properties, the signal decay time was not influenced by the solvents used.
