水/乙醇/正辛醇无表面活性剂微乳液的介电弛豫谱

无表面活性剂微乳液近年来受到人们极大关注,但人们对该类微乳液体系的了解还不够深入,在许多基础问题上仍存在较大争议,因此十分有必要利用不同的技术手段对该类体系开展研究。介电谱是表征微乳液体系的有效方法之一,但在无表面活性剂微乳液体系中的应用还鲜有报道。根据水/乙醇/正辛醇所组成的三元体系相图,选取了3条路径配制了不同相组成的微乳液样品,进而在40 Hz～110 MHz频率范围内测量了这些样品的介电谱。发现在1～10 kHz频率范围内出现了明显的介电弛豫现象,利用Cole-Cole公式对该介电弛豫行为进行了拟合解析,从而准确获取了表征该介电弛豫特征的介电参数。通过分析介电参数对微乳液样品的相组成的依存性,发现介电参数能够较为准确地区分该微乳液体系的不同微观相区,其结果与文献报道基本一致。对不同微观相区内介电参数随体系相组成的变化规律进行了分析和讨论,据此提出了不同相区内该弛豫可能的微观弛豫机制。结果表明,不同的微观相区中该弛豫的微观机制不同:在分子溶液相区,该弛豫来自于电极上双电层内离子的迁移或氢键形成的网络中离子的迁移;在水包油及双连续相区,该弛豫来自于水相中离子的跳跃迁移;而在油包水相区,该弛豫来自于分散水滴在油相中的转动极化。     

Dielectric analysis of nanofiltration membrane in electrolyte solutions: influences of electrolyte concentration and species on membrane permeation

Dielectric properties of a nanofiltration membrane immersed in dilute aqueous electrolyte solutions were measured, and frequency dependence of capacitance and conductance of the systems was analyzed, based on the interfacial polarization theory, giving values of permittivity and conductivity of the membrane and the solutions. Permittivity, epsilon m, of the membrane slightly decreased whereas conductivity, km, of the membrane increased with increasing electrolyte concentration, as a result of entrance of ions into the membrane. The ratio of membrane/solution conductivity, km/kw, also depended on the electrolyte concentration, showing that distribution of ions in the membrane and in solutions follow Donnan equilibrium, due to the presence of negative fixed charges in the membrane. New expressions were derived from Donnan equilibrium principle to explain this phenomenon, and negative fixed charge concentration ce of the membrane was obtained; thus the Donnan potential, DeltaPhi Don, of the membrane in solutions at various concentrations could be calculated. The new expressions could be expected to be usable to analyze ion permeation property through membrane.     

Analysis of dielectric relaxations of w/o emulsions in the light of theories of interfacial polarization

An attempt is made to apply dielectric theories of interfacial polarization to observations of dielectric relaxations for W/O emulsions. Approximate formulas for disperse systems in a W/O type were derived from the two theories: one proposed by Maxwell and Wagner for dilute disperse systems of spherical particles, and the other developed by Hanai for concentrated disperse systems. Dielectric measurements were carried out on concentrated W/O emulsions prepared from kerosene and distilled water or KCl aqueous solutions by minimal use of emulsifiers. Marked dielectric relaxations were observed with the emulsions, the dielectric parameters having been determined to characterize the relaxation data. Phase parameters such as relative permittivity, electric conductivity and volume fraction of the disperse phase were evaluated from the dielectric parameters by use of the approximate formulas of the respective theories. The phase parameters evaluated and the frequency dependence of complex permittivity of the W/O emulsions deduced from the theory for concentrated disperse systems are in excellent agreement with the observed data in comparison to that for dilute disperse systems. It is concluded that the dielectric relaxations due to the interfacial polarization of disperse systems of spheres are explained satisfactorily by the theory for concentrated disperse systems.     

Dielectric model and theoretical analysis of cationic reverse micellar solutions in CTAB/isooctane/n-hexanol/water systems

Dielectric relaxation spectra of CTAB reverse micellar solutions, CTAB/isooctane/n-hexanol/water systems with different concentrations of CTAB and different water contents, were investigated in the frequency range from 40 Hz to 110 MHz. Two striking dielectric relaxations were observed at about 10(4) Hz and 10(5) Hz, respectively. Dielectric parameters were obtained by fitting the data using the Cole-Cole equation with two Cole-Cole dispersion terms and the electrode polarization term. These parameters show different variation with the increase of the concentration of CTAB or the water content. In order to explain the two relaxations systematically and obtain detailed information on the systems and the inner surface of the reverse micelles, an electrical model has been constituted. On the basis of this model, the low-frequency dielectric relaxation was interpreted by the radial diffusion of free counterions in the diffuse layer with Grosse model. For the high-frequency dielectric relaxation, Hanai theory and the corresponding analysis method were used to calculate the phase parameters of the constituent phases in these systems. The reasonable analysis results suggest that the high-frequency relaxation probably originated from the interfacial polarization. The structural and electrical information of the present systems were obtained from the phase parameters simultaneously.     

Theoretical study of dielectric behavior of microcapsule suspensions with distributed drug release rate

Theoretical consideration is made concerning the dielectric behavior of aqueous suspensions of W/O-type microcapsules containing aqueous electrolyte solutions, especially concerning distribution effects of the electrolyte release rate on the dielectric behavior.It is shown at first that the distribution of the release rate causes electrical conductivity of the capsule interior. Next, it is deduced, in the light of a theory of the interfacial polarization, that the distribution characteristics of the capsule interior's electrical conductivity are closely related to those of the relaxation time for a dielectric relaxation exhibited by the suspensions. Several formulas are derived to describe the relation between the distribution characteristics of the release rate and those of the relaxation time.     

Dielectric relaxation behavior of ternary systems of water/toluene/Triton X-100: the effects of water and oil contents on microemulsion structure

Dielectric relaxation studies were conducted on the ternary systems of the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 (a nonionic surfactant with a polyoxyethylene chain)/toluene/water in the frequency range from 40 Hz to 110 MHz. The contents of water and toluene were varied separately while the ratios of the other two components were fixed. Remarkable dielectric relaxations were observed around 1 MHz and dielectric intensity shows different variation with the increase of the contents of water or toluene. Dielectric parameters were obtained by fitting the data using the Cole–Cole equation with one dispersion term. The reverse micelles, water-in-oil, and oil-in-water micro-regions of the microemulsions were identified by the dependence of conductivity of the dispersed phase and continuous phase on the contents of water or toluene. Hanai theory and the corresponding analysis method were used to calculate the phase parameters of the constituent phases. The analysis results suggest that the dielectric relaxation probably arises from the interfacial polarization.     

Theoretical approach and the practice to the evaluation of structural parameters characterizing concentration polarization alongside ion-exchange membranes by means of dielectric measurement

As the application of a dielectric theory proposed previously (J Membrane Sci 64:153–161 (1991)), theoretical formulation and the practical procedure of dielectric analysis are developed to calculate the structural parameters such as the conductivity gradient and the thickness of the concentration polarization layer, the capacitances and the conductances of the two adjoining aqueous phases from the observed dielectric parameters. The procedure of calculation consequent upon the theoretical formulation was applied to double relaxation data observed for cation-exchange membrane systems under application of d.c. bias voltage. As a consequence, the structural parameters of concentration polarization were readily obtained with accuracy.     

Dielectric analysis of a nanoscale particle in an aqueous solution of low electrolyte concentration

The dielectric spectra of aqueous suspensions of nanoscale silica particles (8 and 24 nm) with low electrolyte concentrations were investigated as a function of the particle concentration. Obvious dispersions observed in the frequency range of 10-10(5) kHz are explained by the multiple effects of the interfacial polarization and the polarization of counterions by using a two-step model and the corresponding dielectric analytical method arising from the combination of Hanai's method and O'Konski's theory. The phase parameters, which reflect the inner properties of constituent phases of the system, are calculated and discussed in detail. The validity of the two-step model was tested in terms of the standard electrokinetic model deduced from pure theories.
