BET分析揭示P123和CTAB条件下的氧化硅比表面分别增加了20%和13%, 而SDBS(十二烷基苯磺酸钠)条件的产物在表面积不变的条件下孔体积和孔径减少了一半. 定量分析证明SDBS条件下氧化硅纳米粒子的杂化受到了明显抑制, 而正硅酸乙酯浸渍方式的补硅量接近一倍, 这种优化的几何结构保证了氧化硅微球产物的完整性和稳定性.     

乙二醛存在时脲醛树脂的控制性聚合现象

考察了乙二醛存在时脲醛树脂的控制性聚合现象.聚合微球的粒径分散在1.0～14μm之间,但当乙二醛存在时粒径集中在6.5～9.0μm;控制乙二醛的用量和比例可以调整所得微球的大小、改善微球的形貌和均匀性.添加乙二醛或增加乙二醛的比例能大幅延长沉淀反应的诱导期(延长25%以上);红外分析以及XRD分析结果证明醛基总量或甲醛比例的增加都可减小聚合产物的结晶性特征;乙二醛的存在调整了脲醛树脂的成核过程或初级粒子的生长速度,推测乙二醛覆盖了聚合物的表面或表面活性位,限制了尿素甲醛的扩散反应过程.乙二醛存在时杂化过程所得氧化硅微球的粒径仅为杂化微球的20%,分析结果推测杂化微球中存在氧化硅的径向含量梯度,这种梯度是氧化硅纳米粒子的杂化和脲醛树脂的聚合速度差异造成的.

Preparation of PS/TiO2/UF multilayer core-shell hybrid microspheres with high stability

In this paper, we report a facile method for preparation of polystyrene/titania/urea-formaldehyde resin (PS/TiO(2)/UF) multilayer core-shell hybrid microspheres with high stability through in situ condensation polymerization. The TEM images show that the thickness of UF shells is about 10 nm. The Zeta potential is close to zero. The density of PS/TiO(2)/UF could be controlled to 1.85 g/cm(3), which matches well with the non-polar dispersant (tetrachloroethylene). They are well dispersed and remain non-agglomerated even over several months, so they could be potential building blocks to fabricate electrophoretic display. Some parameters such as the ratio of urea-formaldehyde prepolymer (UFP) to PS/TiO(2), the pH value, and the temperature are also investigated.

Preparation of porous titania–silica microspheres for treatment of radioactive waste

Titania–silica microspheres have been prepared by sol–gel process. Internal gelation route, which use hexamethylenetetramine as the source of ammonia was used for the preparation spherical gel particles. A cationic surfactant, cetrimide was added in the feed broth for introducing meso-porosity in the gel network. Further paraffin oil emulsion was incorporated in the feed broth before gelation for the formation of larger pores in the gel network. The spherical gel particles thus obtained were washed and heat treated under controlled conditions to remove the entrapped surfactant, paraffin oil and other organic compounds resulting in highly porous intact titania–silica microspheres. The material was characterized by surface area, porosity and by SEM photomicrographs. The ion exchange property of this material was studied using the sorption of plutonium on this material from carbonate medium by distribution coefficient studies and ion exchange column loading and elution experiments.     

Synergistic interaction in emulsions stabilized by a mixture of silica nanoparticles and cationic surfactant

Using a range of complementary experiments, a detailed investigation into the behavior of dodecane-water emulsions stabilized by a mixture of silica nanoparticles and pure cationic surfactant has been made. Both emulsifiers prefer to stabilize o/w emulsions. At high pH, particles are ineffective emulsifiers, whereas surfactant-stabilized emulsions become increasingly stable to coalescence with concentration. In mixtures, no emulsion phase inversion occurs although synergism between the emulsifiers leads to enhanced stability at either fixed surfactant concentration or fixed particle concentration. Emulsions are most stable under conditions where particles have negligible charge and are most flocculated. Freeze fracture scanning electron microscopy confirms the presence of particle flocs at drop interfaces. At low pH, particles and surfactant are good emulsifiers alone. Synergism is also displayed in these mixtures, with the extent of creaming being minimum when particles are most flocculated. Experiments have been undertaken in order to offer an explanation for the latter synergy. By determining the adsorption isotherm of surfactant on particles in water, we show that surfactant addition initially leads to particle flocculation followed by re-dispersion. Using suitable contact angle measurements at oil-water-solid interfaces, we show that silica surfaces initially become increasingly hydrophobic upon surfactant addition, as well as surfactant adsorption lowering the oil-water interfacial tension. A competition exists between the influence of surfactant on the contact angle and the tension in the attachment energy of a particle to the interface.     

Use of surfactants to remove water-based inks from plastic film: effect of calcium ion concentration and length of surfactant hydrophobe

Effective plastic film deinking could permit the reuse of recycled polymer to produce clear film, reduce solid waste for landfills, reduce raw material demand for polymer production, and aid process economics. In this study, the deinking of a commercial polyethylene film printed with water-based ink was studied using surfactants in the presence of hardness ions (calcium ions) at various pH levels. The electrostatic properties of ink particles in a washing bath were also investigated. Synthetic anionic surfactant or fatty acid soap in the presence of calcium ions at alkaline pH levels was found to be nearly as effective at deinking as cationic, nonionic, or amphoteric surfactants alone. However, adding calcium ions decreases the deinking effectiveness of cationic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants. Increasing the length of the ionic surfactant hydrophobe enhances deinking. Zeta potential measurements showed that water-based ink particles in water reach the point of zero charge (PZC) at a pH of about 3.6, above which ink particles are negatively charged, so cationic surfactant tends to adsorb better on the ink than anionic surfactant above the PZC in the absence of calcium. As the cationic surfactant concentration is varied between 0.005 and 25 mM, the zeta potential of the ink particles reverses from negative to positive owing to adsorption of cationic surfactant. For anionic surfactants, added calcium probably forms a bridge between the negatively charged ink and the negatively charged surfactant head groups, which synergizes adsorption of the surfactant and aids deinking. In contrast, calcium competes for adsorption sites with cationic and nonionic surfactants, which inhibits deinking. All the surfactants studied here disperse ink particles effectively in the washing bath above pH 3 except for the ethoxylated amine surfactant.     

Effect of self-assembled surfactant structures on ion transport across the liquid|liquid interface

In this paper, the effect of a coadsorbed polyanion–cationic surfactant system on the transport of tetraethylammonium ion across the water|1,2-dichloroethane interface is studied. It is shown that the change in double-layer structure due to the presence of adsorbed or coadsorbed surfactant can explain the experimental observations, thus concluding that no other effects on ion transfer (e.g., steric hindrance) are relevant under these experimental conditions. The implications of these results are discussed.     

Size-controlled synthesis of CuO–ZrO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanoparticles prepared through reverse micelle method

In this research, CuO–ZrO₂ nanoparticles are synthesized using microreactors made of surfactant/water/cyclohexane microemulsions. The effect of different microemulsion variables on the particle size and its distribution, such as water-to-surfactant molar ratio (W ₀) and different surfactants are discussed. Three different surfactant types including cationic (CTAB), anionic (AOT), and nonionic (Brij56) are used. Also a different amount of water to surfactant in nano composite synthesis is used. The powders were characterized by DTA/TG, XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM and BET techniques and their physical properties are compared. The results show a decrease of particles size in presence of cationic surfactant. Narrow particles size distribution of the resultant CuO–ZrO₂ nanocomposite in presence of cationic surfactant, anionic and nonionic surfactant is compared. Also for AOT surfactant, by raising water to surfactant molar ratio the particles size is increased and the optimum ratio is H₂O: Surfactant = 0.32:0.055, respectively.     

Synthesis and characterization of ordered hexagonal and cubic mesoporous tin oxides via mixed-surfactant templates route

Ordered hexagonal and cubic mesoporous tin oxides were synthesized for the first time in the presence of mixed cationic and neutral surfactants (a mixture of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide cationic surfactant and dodecylamine neutral surfactant) with different alkali and simple inorganic precursors at room temperature. In the synthesis systems, the dodecylamine neutral surfactant may function as a polar organic cosolvent and cosurfactant. The formation of the tin oxide mesostructured material was proposed to be due to the presence of hydrogen-bonding interactions between the supramolecular template and inorganic precursors Sn4+ and OH-, which were assumed to self-assemble around the cationic surfactant molecules. The materials are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherm. The surface areas of materials evaluated from the N2 sorption isotherms are about 248 m(2)/g for hexagonal mesoporous tin oxide (SnH) and 281 m(2)/g for cubic mesoporous tin oxide (Sn-C) for calcination at 350 degrees C.     

Silicone nanocapsules templated inside the membranes of catanionic vesicles

A simple and effective way to synthesize hollow silicone resin particles of controlled diameter is presented. The synthesis utilizes catanionic vesicles as templates for the polycondensation/polymerization processes of 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4H) within their membranes. Two different surfactant systems were used to form the vesicular templates: mixtures of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) in the cationic (the DTAB/SDBS system) or anionic (the SDBS/DTAB system) rich region of the phase diagram. The templates obtained from these surfactant mixtures form spontaneously unilamellar vesicles in aqueous solution. The vesicular templates swell upon addition of D4H, thus increasing their size. The silicone resin was obtained in acid- or base-catalyzed polycondensation and ring-opening polymerization processes of D4H. In the case of the DTAB/SDBS system the formation of a densely cross-linked silicone material with SiO3/2 units allowed the nanocapsules to retain the vesicular shape after removal of the template, whereas in the SDBS/DTAB system, the polymer produces capsules which are too smooth to support surfactant lysis. The morphology of the silicone nanocapsules was analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and, in some cases, atomic force microscopy (AFM). TEM and AFM reveal discrete hollow particles with a small amount of linked or aggregated hollow silica shells.
