Abstract:

Inorganic-organic composite microspheres with hollow structure were prepared using W/O/W double Pickering emulsions stabilized with hydrophobic ZnO particles and hydrophilic Fe3O4 as templates. The inorganic particles, emulsions and composite materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and optical microscopy. The results showed that the two inorganic particles, ZnO and Fe3O4, were prepared. Oleic acid could effectively modify ZnO with a contact angle of 84.3°. The prepared double Pickering emulsion had good stability and wide particle size distribution, ranging from 50 μm to 200 μm. The inorganic-organic composite material prepared using the double emulsion as template is hollow spherical structure with particle size between 100 and 200 μm.
