Abstract

The article discusses the issue of the influence of colloidal solutions of nanoparticles of ZnO obtained using original method on physical and chemical properties (cohesions, adhesion, wettability) of water glass. Adhesion and cohesion strength has been determined on the basis of own methodology of measurement using a special apparatus. The results of the above measurements have been supplemented with selected measurements of quartz wettability by the modified binder. Also, exemplary results have been presented of tests involving basic properties of moulding sans containing an addition of the aforementioned binder. In conclusions, the influence of binder modification on the properties of moulding sands have been presented.
