Recent advances in the stabilization of emulsions and foams by particles of nanoscale and microscopic dimensions are described. Ongoing research in this highly active field is providing insight into (i) the molecular factors controlling particle wettability and adsorption, (ii) the structural and mechanical properties of particle-laden liquid interfaces, and (ii) the stabilization mechanisms of particle-coated droplets and bubbles. There is much potential for exploiting the emerging knowledge in new food product applications. The preparation of cheap and effective colloidal particles based on food-grade ingredients, especially proteins, is the key technological challenge. 相似文献

Emulsions stabilized through the adsorption of colloidal particles at the liquid-liquid interface have long been used and investigated in a number of different applications. The interfacial adsorption of particles can be induced by adjusting the particle wetting behavior in the liquid media. Here, we report a new approach to prepare stable oil-in-water emulsions by tailoring the wetting behavior of colloidal particles in water using short amphiphilic molecules. We illustrate the method using hydrophilic metal oxide particles initially dispersed in the aqueous phase. The wettability of such particles in water is reduced by an in situ surface hydrophobization that induces particle adsorption at oil-water interfaces. We evaluate the conditions required for particle adsorption at the liquid-liquid interface and discuss the effect of the emulsion initial composition on the final microstructure of oil-water mixtures containing high concentrations of alumina particles modified with short carboxylic acids. This new approach for emulsion preparation can be easily applied to a variety of other metal oxide particles. 相似文献

The stability of emulsions and foams stabilized with hexylamine-modified silica particles has been studied as depending on the concentration of the surfactant. Silica modification with short-chain hexylamine leads to a marked increase in the contact angle upon selective wetting and inversion of the phases in the emulsions. The contact angles upon wetting silica surface by aqueous phases are no larger than 60°, while the maximum stability of foams corresponds to contact angles of 38°–50° depending on the concentration of the solid particles. 相似文献

An HPLC technique for the size determination of colloidal cadmium sulphide and zinc sulphide in a diameter range from 20 down to 2 nm using silica with pore sizes from 30 to 100 nm is described. The growth of the particles during the run was suppressed by the addition of stabilizers to the eluent and by the use of reversed-phase silica as the stationary phase for inorganic stabilizers. The calibration of the column sets by electron microscopy resulted in a linear relationship between the logarithm of the particle diameter and the elution time. The analysis was carried out within 4–10 min. The lateral resolution lay between 1.3% for larger particles and 1.9% for smaller particles. Below a diameter of 13 nm these values were better than those found from electron microscopy. From the comparison of the calibration lines for various colloidal materials, the differences in their electrical double layers could be estimated. The limitations of the method are discussed and the size-exclusion chromatographic and electron microscopic methods are compared. 相似文献

Colloidal inorganic nanocrystals stand out as an important class of advanced nanomaterials owing to the flexibility with which their physical-chemical properties can be controlled through size, shape, and compositional engineering in the synthesis stage and the versatility with which they can be implemented into technological applications in fields as diverse as optoelectronics, energy conversion/production, catalysis, and biomedicine. The use of microwave irradiation as a non-classical energy source has become increasingly popular in the preparation of nanocrystals (which generally involves complex and time-consuming processing of molecular precursors in the presence of solvents, ligands and/or surfactants at elevated temperatures). Similar to its now widespread use in organic chemistry, the efficiency of "microwave flash heating" in dramatically reducing overall processing times is one of the main advantages associated with this technique. This Review illustrates microwave-assisted methods that have been developed to synthesize colloidal inorganic nanocrystals and critically evaluates the specific roles that microwave irradiation may play in the formation of these nanomaterials. 相似文献

We describe a promising and flexible technique for fabricating uniform nonspherical particles with anisotropic phase and surface properties. Our approach is based on the seeded polymerization technique in which monomer-swollen particles are polymerized. The polymerization causes a phase separation to occur, giving rise to two-phase nonspherical particles. We show that the elastic contraction of the swollen polymer particles induced by elevated polymerization temperatures plays an important role in the phase separation. Moreover, chemical anisotropy of nonspherical particles can be obtained by using immiscible polymer pairs and by employing surface treatments. Furthermore, we are able to produce amphiphilic dumbbell particles consisting of two different bulbs: hydrophilic poly (ethylene imine)-coated polystyrene and hydrophobic polystyrene. Controlled geometries of these amphiphilic nonspherical particles will allow a wide range of potential applications, such as engineered colloid surfactants. 相似文献

We demonstrate an opto-electrokinetic technique for non-invasive particle manipulation on the surface of a parallel-plate indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode that is biased with an alternating current (AC) signal and illuminated with near-infrared (1064 nm) optical landscapes. This technique can generate strong microfluidic vortices at higher AC frequencies (>100 kHz) and dynamically and rapidly aggregate and pattern particle groups at low frequencies (<100 kHz). 相似文献

Advances over the past decade in nonlinear electrophoresis of charged, dielectric colloidal particles in aqueous electrolytes are reviewed. Here, the word nonlinear refers to the fact that the ratio of the electrophoretic speed of the particle to the magnitude of the applied electric field—the electrophoretic mobility—is not independent of field strength. This is in stark contrast to the vast majority of work on (linear) colloidal electrophoresis over the last century, where the mobility is assumed to be a material property dependent only on the particle–electrolyte combination. The present discussion is focused on: (i) experimental measurements of the field-dependent mobility; (ii) an asymptotic scheme to calculate the mobility in the common thin-Debye-layer limit; and (iii) computations of nonlinear electrophoresis from numerical solution of the electrokinetic equations. The article concludes with suggestions for future work in this evolving area of colloid science. 相似文献

In this article, a wide range of latexes are evaluated as possible foam stabilizers. These include near-monodisperse, poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone)-stabilized polystyrene [PNVP-PS] latexes with diameters ranging from 170 nm to 1.62 microm, submicrometer-sized poly(ethylene glycol)-stabilized polystyrene [PEGMA-PS] latex particles, a PNVP-stabilized poly(4-bromostyrene) [PNVP-PBrS] latex with a mean diameter of 870 nm, two PNVP-stabilized poly(methyl methacrylate) [PNVP-PMMA] latexes with mean diameters of 730 nm and 1.20 microm, a PNVP-stabilized poly(2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) [PNVP-PHPMA] latex with a mean diameter of 630 nm, and a charge-stabilized anionic PS latex of 220 nm diameter. The effect of varying the particle size, latex concentration, and latex surface composition on foam stability were studied in detail. The larger PNVP-PS latexes, the PNVP-PBrS, and the two PNVP-PMMA latexes gave highly stable foams, whereas PEGMA-PS, PNVP-PHPMA, and the charge-stabilized PS latex produced either no foams or foams with inferior long-term stabilities. Scanning electron microscopy studies revealed hexagonally close-packed latex arrays in the walls of the dried foam, which leads to localized moiré patterns being observed by optical microscopy. Moreover, these dried foams are highly iridescent in bright transmitted light. 相似文献

We review recent developments in the synthesis and self-assembly of Janus and multiblock colloidal particles, highlighting new opportunities for colloid science and technology that are enabled by encoding orientational order between particles as they self-assemble. Emphasizing the concepts of molecular colloids and colloid valence unique to such colloids, we describe their rational self-assembly into colloidal clusters, taking monodisperse tetrahedra as an example. We also introduce a simple method to lock clusters into permanent shapes. Extending this to 2D lattices, we also review recent progress in assembling new open colloidal networks including the kagome lattice. In each application, areas of opportunity are emphasized. 相似文献

Using Derjaguin's approximation, we have evaluated the interaction energy associated with van der Waals, electrostatic, depletion, and capillary forces between colloidal spheroids. If the interaction range between spheroids is distinctly smaller than the lengths of their principal axes, then simple pair potentials that depend on particle distance and orientation can be derived. Attractive interactions between adjacent spheroids favor their parallel alignment. Parallel spheroids can be arranged into a variety of densely packed configurations. All of these configurations turn out to have the same lattice energy. We discuss the implications of this degeneracy with respect to the stability of photonic crystals consisting of spheroids. 相似文献

We study the effective screened electrostatic potential created by a spheroidal colloidal particle immersed in an electrolyte, within the mean field approximation, using Poisson-Boltzmann equation in its linear and nonlinear forms, and also beyond the mean field by means of Monte Carlo computer simulation. The anisotropic shape of the particle has a strong effect on the screened potential, even at large distances (compared to the Debye length) from it. To quantify this anisotropy effect, we focus our study on the dependence of the potential on the position of the observation point with respect with the orientation of the spheroidal particle. For several different boundary conditions (constant potential, or constant surface charge) we find that, at large distance, the potential is higher in the direction of the large axis of the spheroidal particle. 相似文献

We introduce the notion of "Janus balance" (J), defined as the dimensionless ratio of work to transfer an amphiphilic colloidal particle (a "Janus particle") from the oil-water interface into the oil phase, normalized by the work needed to move it into the water phase. The J value can be calculated simply from the interfacial contact angle and the geometry of Janus particles, without the need to know the interfacial energy. It is demonstrated that Janus particles of the same chemical composition but different geometries will have the highest adsorption energy when J = 1. Even for particles of homogeneous chemical makeup, the Janus balance concept can be applied when considering the contact angle hysteresis in desorbing the particle from equilibrium into the water or oil phase. The Janus balance concept may enable predictions of how a Janus particle behaves with respect to efficiency and function as a solid surfactant, as the Janus balance of solid surfactants is the analog of the classical hydrophile-lipophile balance of small surfactant molecules. 相似文献

Surface modification of colloidal silica particles 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Colloidal silica particles in organic solvents were grafted, using several reagents, in order to make them hydrophobic. The
hydrophobicity of the beads could be easily varied. Quasielastic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy experiments
showed that no aggregation occurs during the reaction when monofunctional agents are used. Elemental analysis and solid-state
NMR measurements gave us the rate of surface modification of the silanol groups. We also studied the rheological behaviour
of the grafted particles as a function of the volume fraction in solvents of various hydrophobicity. Hexamethyldisilazane-grafted
particles display hard-sphere behaviour in polar solvents such as 2-propanol, but not in alkanes, whereas dimethyldodecylchlorosilane-grafted
particles flocculated in polar solvents but could easily be dispersed in apolar solvents.

Colloidal gas aphrons (CGAs) are finding increasing application in water processing, bioseparation, bubble-entrained floc flotation, separation of oil from sand, etc. This article proposes an effective method of encapsulation to stabilize the CGA bubbles with silicic sol solution for their characterization. The stabilized CGA bubbles can keep shapes and sizes for at least 12 h; even the bubbles smaller than 25 mum can also be stabilized and exist for very long times. Effects of concentration and pH of silicic sol solution on CGA stabilization were studied. The optimal ranges of concentration and pH of silicic sol solution are 0.15-0.25 mol/dm(3) and 7-10, respectively. The bubble distortion behavior in disturbance and size distribution of CGAs were examined by using the stabilization method and photographic techniques. 相似文献
