Colloids

17.3K
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

507
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...

Coagulation01:06

Coagulation

266
Colloidal solids are solid particles suspended in solution. They are usually negatively charged, attracting a compact primary layer of positively charged ions, which attract more counterions to form an electrical double layer. Electrostatic repulsion between the charged double layers prevents the particles from colliding, stabilizing the colloids. These solids are often undesirable because they can contain toxins that are difficult to remove. Coagulation is a technique that helps aggregate and...

Solution, Solubility, and Solubility Equilibrium
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules,...

Area of Science:

  • Colloid and Surface Science
  • Materials Chemistry
  • Emulsion Technology

Background:

  • Sphericity of emulsion droplets is driven by interfacial tension, requiring methods to overcome this for nonspherical shapes.
  • Interfacial particle jamming is a known method, but precise control over particle coverage is crucial.
  • Existing methods for creating nonspherical emulsions often lack scalability or precise control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a scalable, novel batch process for producing nonspherical particle-stabilized emulsions.
  • To investigate the simultaneous formation of interfacially active particles and accelerated emulsion destabilization.
  • To understand the role of particle formation, electrolyte addition, and shear in controlling droplet morphology.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions with dopamine.
  • Introduced tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride buffer to initiate dopamine polymerization and reduce Debye length, promoting coalescence.
  • Employed pendent drop tensiometry and interfacial shear rheology to study interfacial behavior under varying buffer concentrations and shear rates.
  • Demonstrated efficacy with a secondary system using sodium dodecyl sulfate and polypyrrole particles.

Main Results:

  • Polydopamine nanoparticles formed in the continuous phase adsorbed to the interface during coalescence, leading to anisotropic droplets via arrested coalescence.
  • Higher shear rates accelerated coalescence and secondary droplet formation.
  • Lower shear rates resulted in thicker interfacial films.
  • The process successfully generated nonspherical droplets in both dopamine/polydopamine and SDS/polypyrrole systems under optimized conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed batch process offers a scalable route to nonspherical particle-stabilized emulsions.
  • Arrested coalescence, driven by in-situ particle formation and electrolyte-induced destabilization, is key to achieving anisotropic droplet shapes.
  • System parameters like buffer concentration and shear rate allow for control over interfacial properties and droplet morphology.
