CO2-triggered switchable Pickering emulsion stabilized by guanidine-functionalized silica particles

The guanidine group-modified silica particles were used as emulsifier to obtain a CO₂-responsive Pickering emulsion. To compare the wettability effect of the particles on the stability of the emulsion, both guanidine and alkyl chain were attached on the surface of silica particles. The influences of tension, particles concentration, oil-water fraction, NaCl concentration, and CO₂ on Pickering emulsion properties were investigated. Although the particles did not decrease the surface and interfacial tensions of the air/oil-water interfaces, they attached on the oil–water interfaces and stabilized the emulsions at room temperature for at least 4 weeks. Addition of salt increased the emulsion stability and induced phase inversion at high salt concentration. The stabilization–destabilization cycles of the emulsion could be successively controlled by alternative CO₂/heating triggers due to the protonation-deprotonation of guanidine groups on the particle surfaces.     

A novel formulation of the pickering emulsion stabilized with silica nanoparticles and its thermal resistance at high temperatures

Stabilization of emulsions with solid particles can be used in several fields of oil and gas industry because of their higher stability. Solid particles should be amphiphilic to be able to make Pickering emulsions. This goal is achieved by using surfactants at low concentrations. Oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions are usually stabilized by surfactant but show poor thermal stability. This problem limits their applications at high-temperature conditions. In this study, a novel formulation for o/w stabilized emulsion by using silica nanoparticles and the nonionic surfactant is investigated for the formulation of thermally stable Pickering emulsion. The experiments performed on this Pickering emulsion formula showed higher thermal stability than conventional emulsions. The optimum wettability was found for DME surfactant and silica nanoparticles, consequently, in that region; Pickering emulsion showed the highest stability. Rheological changes were evaluated versus variation in surfactant concentration, silica concentration and pH. Scanning electron microscopy images approved the existence of a rigid layer of nanoparticle at the oil-water interface. Finally, the results show this type of emulsion remains stable in harsh conditions and allows the system to reach its optimum rheology without adding any further additives.     

纳米SiO2与阳离子表面活性剂的相互作用及其诱导的正辛烷-水乳状液的双重相转变

研究了3种不同结构的水溶性阳离子表面活性剂对纳米二氧化硅颗粒的原位表面活性化作用, 它们分别是单头单尾的十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)、单头双尾的双十二烷基二甲基溴化铵(di-C12DMAB)和双头双尾的Gemini型阳离子三亚甲基-二(十四酰氧乙基溴化铵)(II-14-3), 并通过测定Zeta电位、吸附等温线及接触角等参数对相关机理进行了阐述. 结果表明, 阳离子表面活性剂吸附到颗粒/水界面形成以疏水基朝向水的单分子层, 从而增强了颗粒表面的疏水性是原位表面活性化的基础. 通过吸附CTAB和II-14-3, 颗粒的疏水性适当增强, 能吸附到正辛烷/水界面稳定O/W(1)型乳状液; 而通过吸附di-C12DMAB所形成的单分子层更加致密, 颗粒的疏水性进一步增强, 进而使乳状液从O/W(1)型转变为W/O型; 当表面活性剂浓度较高时, 由于链-链相互作用, 表面活性剂分子将在颗粒/水界面形成双层吸附, 使颗粒表面变得亲水而失去活性, 但此时体系中游离表面活性剂的浓度已增加到足以单独稳定O/W(2)型乳状液的程度. 因此当采用纳米二氧化硅和di-C12DMAB的混合物作乳化剂时, 通过增加di-C12DMAB的浓度即可诱导乳状液发生O/W(1)→W/O→O/W(2)双重相转变.     

Phase inversion of the Pickering emulsions stabilized by plate-shaped clay particles

We investigated the phase inversion of Pickering emulsions stabilized by plate-shaped clay particles. Addition of water induced a phase inversion from a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion to an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion when the amount of the oil phase exceeded a limiting amount of oil absorption to solid particles. On the other hand, a phase inversion from a powdery state to an O/W emulsion state through an oil-separated state is observed when the amount of an oil phase is less than the limiting amount of the oil absorption. Interestingly, the oil separated is re-dispersed as emulsion droplets into the O/W emulsion phase. This type of phase inversion, which is a feature of the Pickering emulsions stabilized by the clay particles, is caused by a change in the aggregate structures of particles.

Surfactant-Free Multiple Pickering Emulsions Stabilized by Combining Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Nanoparticles

A series of W/O/W or O/W/O emulsion stabilized solely by two different types of solid nanoparticles were prepared by a two-step method. We explored the option of particular emulsifiers for the multiple Pickering emulsions, and a variety of nanoparticles (silica, iron oxide, and clay) only differing in their wettability was used. The primary W/O emulsion was obtained by the hydrophobic nanoparticles, and then the hydrophilic nanoparticles were used as emulsifier in the secondary emulsification to prepare the W/O/W emulsion. In a similar way, the primary O/W emulsion of the O/W/O emulsion was stabilized by the hydrophilic nanoparticles, while the secondary emulsification to prepare the O/W/O emulsion was effected with the hydrophobic nanoparticles. The resultant multiple Pickering emulsion was stable to coalescence for more than 3 months, except the W/O/W emulsions of which the secondary emulsion stabilized by clay nanoparticles became a simple O/W emulsion in a day after preparation. Moreover, the temperature and pH sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (P(NIPAm-co-MAA)) microgels were introduced as an emulsifier for the secondary emulsification to obtain the stimulus-responsive multiple W/O/W emulsion. Such microgel-stabilized multiple emulsions could realize the efficient controlled release of water-soluble dye, Rhodamine B (RB) on demand in a multiple-emulsion delivery system.      

Effects of Surface Properties on Rheological and Interfacial Properties of Pickering Emulsions Prepared by Fumed Silica Suspensions Pre-Adsorbed Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide)

The hydrophobic fumed silica suspensions physically pre-adsorbed poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) in water could prepare oil dispersed in water (O/W) Pickering emulsion by mixing of silicone oil. The resulting Pickering emulsions were characterized by the measurements of volume factions of emulsified silicone oil, adsorbed amounts of the silica suspensions, oil droplet size, and some rheological responses, such as stress-strain sweep curve and dynamic viscoelastic moduli as a function of the added amount of PNIPAM. Moreover, their characteristics were compared with those of the O/W Pickering emulsions prepared by the hydrophilic fumed silica suspensions pre-adsorbed PNIPAM. For the emulsions prepared by the hydrophobic silica suspensions, an increase in the added amount of PNIPAM led to (1) a decrease in the volume fraction of the emulsified oil in the emulsified phase, (2) both the size of oil droplets and the adsorbed amount of the corresponding silica suspensions being almost constant, except for the higher added amounts, and (3) both the storage modulus (G′) and the yield shear strain being constant. The term of 1 is the same for the emulsions prepared by the hydrophilic silica suspensions, whereas both the adsorbed amount of the corresponding silica suspension and the G′ value increase and both the droplet size and the yield shear strain decrease with an increase in the added amount of PNIPAM. The differences between the rheological properties of the emulsions prepared by the hydrophilic silica suspensions and those by the hydrophobic ones are attributed to the hydrophobic interactions of the flocculated silica particles in the Pickering emulsions.     

Water-in-carbon dioxide emulsions stabilized with hydrophobic silica particles

W/C emulsions were stabilized using hydrophobic silica particles adsorbed at the interface, resulting in average droplet diameters as low as 7.5 microm. A porous cross-linked shell was formed about a hydrophilic (colloidal and fumed) silica core with a trifunctional silylating agent, (heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrodecyl)triethyoxysilane, to render the particles CO(2)-philic. The stability of emulsions comprising equal weights of CO(2) and water was assessed with visual observations of settling fronts and the degree of emulsion coalescence, and the average drop size was measured by optical microscopy. The effect of CO(2) density on both emulsion stability and droplet size was determined quantitatively. The major destabilizing mechanism of the emulsions was settling, whereas Ostwald ripening and coalescence were not visible at any density, even over 7 days. Flocculation of the settling droplets did not occur, although gelation of the emulsions through particle interactions resulted after longer periods of time. CO(2)-philic particles offer a new route to highly stable W/C emulsions, with particle energies of attachment on the order of 10(6)kT, even at CO(2) densities as low as 0.78 g ml(-1). At these low densities, surfactants rarely stabilize emulsions as the result of poor surfactant tail solvation.     

PBD/PDMS共混物分散相的聚并捕获行为
