The alumina suspension in N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) was studied in the presence of a polyacrylic acid (PAA) dispersant. The sedimentation measurements of the suspensions show that PAA can impart favorable dispersion stability to alumina in DNIF over a wide apparent pH (pH(a)) range. The adsorption of PAA on alumina and the zeta potential of the suspension are pH(a) dependent. FTIR-ATR spectroscopic studies reveal that the different interaction mechanisms between PAA and alumina work as a function of pH(a). But the observable difference of dispersion between pH(a) values of 2.6-12.7 is small according to the sedimentation experiments. This can be explained by a combination of the static effect of PAA dispersant and different sizes of steric barrier resulting from the configurational variation of PAA with changing pH(a) values.
