Abstract:

Phase inversion of emulsion of dialkyl adipate-water mixture stabilized by adipate-functionalized SiO2 particles was described. Ability of different adipate to functionalize SiO2 particles for Pickering emulsion was investigated systematically. Chain length of alkyl in adipates was found to be crucial to the property of formed emulsion. Adipate with long alkyl chain was apt to form oil-in-water emulsion, while adipate with short alkyl chain was apt to form wate-in-oil emulsion. The reason of this difference was explored by analyzing the phase inversion. Adipate with short alkyl chain has strong hydrogen bonding ability with Si—OH on SiO2 particles. Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectra verified directly the difference of adipate archored on SiO2 particles. Properties of emulsion prepared under pH=9 reconfirmed the proposed mechanism.
