All-acrylic film-forming colloidal polymer/silica nanocomposite particles prepared by aqueous emulsion polymerization

The efficient synthesis of all-acrylic, film-forming, core-shell colloidal nanocomposite particles via in situ aqueous emulsion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with n-butyl acrylate in the presence of a glycerol-functionalized ultrafine silica sol using a cationic azo initiator at 60 °C is reported. It is shown that relatively monodisperse nanocomposite particles can be produced with typical mean weight-average diameters of 140-330 nm and silica contents of up to 39 wt %. The importance of surface functionalization of the silica sol is highlighted, and it is demonstrated that systematic variation of parameters such as the initial silica sol concentration and initiator concentration affect both the mean particle diameter and the silica aggregation efficiency. The nanocomposite morphology comprises a copolymer core and a particulate silica shell, as determined by aqueous electrophoresis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. Moreover, it is shown that films cast from n-butyl acrylate-rich copolymer/silica nanocomposite dispersions are significantly more transparent than those prepared from the poly(styrene-co-n-butyl acrylate)/silica nanocomposite particles reported previously. In the case of the aqueous emulsion homopolymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of ultrafine silica, a particle formation mechanism is proposed to account for the various experimental observations made when periodically sampling such nanocomposite syntheses at intermediate comonomer conversions.     

Influences of colloidal stability and electrokinetic property on electrodialysis performance in the presence of silica sol

Negatively charged silica sol is known to lead to fouling of anion exchange membranes during electrodialysis (ED) as a result of its deposition on the membrane surface. It is known that the fouling potential is related to the physical and electrochemical properties of the silica particles as well as those of the anion exchange membranes. In this study, the properties of the silica sol were characterized in terms of its particle size, turbidity, and zeta potential in order to predict their effects on the electrodialysis performance. In the stability of colloidal particles, the critical coagulation concentrations of silica sol were determined as functions of ionic strength, cation species, and solution pH. In the electrodialysis of NaCl solution containing silica sol with various concentrations of CaCl(2), the colloidal behavior related to deposition and transport was examined during and after electrodialysis. The electrodialysis experiments clearly showed that the deposition and transport of silica sol during electrodialysis were related to the colloidal stability of dispersion.     

Preparation and characterization of polypyrrole-silica colloidal nanocomposites in water-methanol mixtures

The effect of methanol cosolvent on the synthesis of polypyrrole-silica colloidal nanocomposites using ultrafine silica sols in combination with both FeCl3 and APS oxidants has been investigated. Two protocols were evaluated: the addition of methanol to an aqueous silica sol and the addition of water to a methanolic silica sol. The latter protocol proved to be more robust, since it allowed colloidally stable dispersions to be prepared at higher methanol content (up to 50 vol% using the APS oxidant). This allowed greater control over the particle size of the nanocomposite particles. In general, the spectroscopic data, the particle size range, silica contents and electrical conductivities of these nanocomposites were similar to those reported earlier for purely aqueous formulations. Polypyrrole contents ranged from 49 to 71% by mass and particle diameters varied from around 160 to 360 nm. In terms of colloid stability, the APS oxidant was preferred for nanocomposite syntheses in the presence of methanol. However, the FeCl3 oxidant generally gave higher conductivities and narrower size distributions under comparable conditions. HF etching experiments combined with transmission electron microscopy studies indicated that, to a first approximation, these nanocomposite particles had core-shell morphologies, with a hydrophobic polypyrrole core and a hydrophilic silica shell that compose approximately one monolayer of silica sol particles. Finally, aqueous electrophoresis measurements suggested that the polypyrrole-silica nanocomposites were silica-rich and that the methanolic silica sol was more hydrophobic (lower surface charge density) than the aqueous silica sol.     

Silica nanoparticle sols 1. Surface chemical characterization and evaluation of the foam generation (foamability)

Surface characterization and foaming studies were carried out with nine industrially manufactured, colloidal silica dispersions with particles sizes from 5-40 nm. All the silica sols produced transient foams with short decay times and the dynamic foam generation (foamability) was found to vary according to the sol type with the greatest foamability occurring for the hydrophobically modified sol and the deionized hydrophilic sol. However, it was found that improved foamability of all the sols could be achieved by changing the pH to within the region of the pH(pzc) which corresponds to the region of lowest hydrophilicity. An increase in pH (and build-up of negative charge) enhances the surface hydrophilicity and caused a decrease in foamability. In addition, for selected hydrophilic sols, it was shown that the foamability (a) increased with decrease in particle size (within the 6-40 nm range) and (b) increased with particle concentration (within the range of 1-15 wt%). Overall, it was concluded that the foamability was primary controlled by hydrophobicity (and hence by pH) and also by the particle concentration, the particle size and the degree of agglomeration.     

Stability in Colloidal Mixtures Containing Particles with a Large Disparity in Size

An experimental approach, based on turbidity measurements, is proposed for studies of the stability in colloidal mixtures containing particles with large disparity in size. The main advantage of this approach is that it permits investigations even under conditions of comparable particle number concentrations of the two colloidal populations. Binary mixtures containing a poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) latex and a Ludox AS-40 silica sol were investigated. The silica particles were much smaller than the latex ones. The experimental stability factors were compared with the theoretical values computed on the basis of the Kihira-Ryde-Matijevic model (J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans. 88(16), 2379 (1992)) for interaction between spherical particles with unevenly distributed surface charges. All the experimental results support the idea that, even when both sols are negatively charged, the small silica particles are adsorbed onto the latex surface. Under these conditions, the heteroaggregates, which are composed of PVAc cores surrounded with silica particles, can be modeled as PVAc particles having "modified" surface characteristics (i.e., average Stern potential and varying extents of the surface charge segregation).

Colloidal crystallization of colloidal silica modified with ferrocenyl group-contained polymers in organic solvents

Surface modification of colloidal silica with ferrocenyl-grafted polymer and colloidal crystallization of the particles in organic solvent were studied. Poly(methyl methacrylate-co-vinylferrocene)-grafted silica never formed colloidal crystals in polar solvent, such as acetone, acetonitrile, ethanol and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), while poly(methyl methacrylate-co-ferrocenyl acrylate)-grafted silica gave colloidal crystallization in DMF. The particles prepared by grafting of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-co-vinylferrocene), with vinylferrocene (Vfc) mole fraction of 1/13 and 1/23, were observed to give the crystallization in ethanol and DMF over particle volume fraction of 0.058. Further, silica modified with copolymer of Vfc and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-vinylcarbazole or N-isopropylacrylamide formed colloidal crystals in ethanol and DMF. Especially, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-Vfc)-grafted silica, which was composed of the highest mole fraction of vinylferrocene, 1/3, afforded colloidal crystallization in ethanol over particle volume fraction of 0.053. Relatively high polar vinylferrocene copolymer grafting of silica resulted in colloidal polymerization in organic solvents.

Characterization of the nanomorphology of polymer-silica colloidal nanocomposites using electron spectroscopy imaging

The internal nanomorphologies of two types of vinyl polymer-silica colloidal nanocomposites were assessed using electron spectroscopy imaging (ESI). This technique enables the spatial location and concentration of the ultrafine silica sol within the nanocomposite particles to be determined. The ESI data confirmed that the ultrafine silica sol was distributed uniformly throughout the poly(4-vinylpyridine)/silica nanocomposite particles, which is consistent with the "currant bun" morphology previously used to describe this system. In contrast, the polystyrene/silica particles had a pronounced "core-shell" morphology, with the silica sol forming a well-defined monolayer surrounding the nanocomposite cores. Thus these ESI results provide direct verification of the two types of nanocomposite morphologies that were previously only inferred on the basis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and aqueous electrophoresis studies. Moreover, ESI also allows the unambiguous identification of a minor population of polystyrene/silica nanocomposite particles that are not encapsulated by silica shells. The existence of this second morphology was hitherto unsuspected, but it is understandable given the conditions employed to synthesize these nanocomposites. It appears that ESI is a powerful technique for the characterization of colloidal nanocomposite particles.     

Synthesis of SiO2@SiO2 core-shell microspheres using urea-formaldehyde polymers as the templates for fast separation of small solutes and proteins

Highly transparent silica monoliths embedded with high concentration oxide nanoparticles

Silica monoliths embedded with high concentration of γ-Fe₂O₃ or TiO₂ nanoparticles were prepared by a sol–gel procedure designed according to the inherent properties of oxide colloids. In the first step, highly dispersible oxide nanoparticles were produced using an in situ modification sol–gel strategy. Then, these particles were re-dispersed in silicon alkoxide-containing solution to form a stable colloidal solution. The hydrolysis and condensation reactions of alkoxide were catalyzed by an organic base (morpholine). Due to the large molecule size of morpholine, the electric double layer on the surface of colloidal particles was not compressed by the ionized morpholine molecules. The colloidal solution thus remained stable during the gelation process. Through this procedure, oxide nanoparticles could be immobilized homogeneously in the pores of a silica matrix, forming highly transparent and crack-free monoliths.
