The colloidal stability of aqueous nanometer‐ and micrometer‐scale barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) utilizing poly (methacrylic acid) (PMAA‐Na) and polyacrylamide/(α‐ N,N ‐dimethyl‐ N ‐acryloyloxyethyl)ammonium ethanate (PDAAE) was investigated. In addition to chemical dispersants, the effects of mechanical milling using either conventional ball milling or nanogrinding/‐mixing on the dispersion of BaTiO 3 suspensions were also studied. Characterization of the particle size distribution ( d 50 ), viscosity, and morphology of BaTiO 3 particles in the suspensions revealed that a sole chemical dispersant or mechanical milling was insufficient to achieve nanometer‐scale dispersion. The best dispersion results were obtained with a combination of PMAA‐Na dispersant and nanogrinding/‐mixing, which could provide sufficient electronic repulsive force and shear force to disperse the 80‐nm BaTiO 3 powders uniformly in the aqueous suspension. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
