Crystalline Evaluation of Size-Controlled Silicon and Silicon Oxide Nanoparticles Produced by Solution Plasma Discharge

The results of experimental studies of the effect of the addition of silicon oxide nanoparticles on the stability of inverse emulsions based on mineral oils are presented. The concentration of nanoparticles in the emulsion was varied from 0.25 to 2 wt%. The following ratios of the volume fractions of the hydrocarbon phase and water were investigated: 70/30, 80/20, 90/10. Several types of emulsifiers have been considered. It has been shown that, even at low concentrations, hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticles significantly improve the stability of inverse emulsions. Destabilization rate of the emulsion upon addition of 2 wt%. of nanoparticles decreases 1.7 times.

Hydrogel ophthalmic lenses containing fluorine-substituted aniline group, titanium silicon oxide nanoparticles, and silver nanoparticles were copolymerized, and the physical and optical properties of the hydrogel lenses were measured. To produce the hydrophilic ophthalmic lenses, the additives were added to the mixture containing HEMA, NVP, MA, EGDMA, and AIBN. The cast mold method was used for the manufacture of the hydrogel ophthalmic lenses, and the produced lenses were completely soaked in a 0.9% NaCl normal saline solution for 24 hours for hydration. The physical properties of the produced macromolecule showed that the water content was 32.5–37.6%, the refractive index was 1.450–1.464, the UV-B transmittance was 0.5–35.2%, and the contact angle was between 56 and 69°. Also, the addition of aniline, titanium silicon oxide, and silver nanoparticles allowed the ophthalmic lenses to block UV. These results show that the produced macromolecule can be used as hydrophilic lenses for ophthalmologic purposes that can block UV.
