Colloids

Colloids

Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...

Colloidal precipitates

Colloidal precipitates

The high insolubility of some precipitates can result in an unfavorable relative supersaturation. This can lead to colloidal particles with a large surface-to-mass ratio, where adsorption is promoted. For instance, in the precipitation of silver chloride, silver ions are adsorbed on the surface of the colloidal particles, forming a primary layer. This layer attracts ions of opposite charge (such as nitrate ions), forming a diffuse secondary layer of adsorbed ions. This electric double layer...

Background:

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are cost-effective, low-toxicity alternatives in green chemistry.
Pickering emulsions offer enhanced stability and environmental benefits over traditional emulsions.
DESs can replace conventional solvents in Pickering emulsions, improving sustainability.

Purpose of the Study:

To prepare and characterize a novel Pickering emulsion using a DES and starch nanoparticles (SNPs).
To evaluate the stability and potential applications of this green emulsion system.

Main Methods:

Preparation of a menthol:octanoic acid (1:1) DES-in-water Pickering emulsion.
Stabilization of the emulsion using starch nanoparticles (SNPs).
Characterization via optical microscopy, transmission microscopy, particle size analysis, and rheology.

Main Results:

The DES-in-water Pickering emulsion stabilized by SNPs exhibited excellent stability.
The emulsion maintained structural integrity for over 200 days at room temperature (20 °C).
Demonstrated potential for applications in storage and transportation.

Conclusions:

The developed DES-based Pickering emulsion stabilized by SNPs is a sustainable and highly stable system.
This formulation shows significant promise for advancing green chemistry practices.
The long-term stability is particularly relevant for industrial applications requiring robust emulsion formulations.
