Alkyl maleic reactive polymeric surfactants (AMRPS) was used to replace traditional anionic emulsifier. The cashew phenol polyoxyethylene ether (CPEO-9/15) was used to replace traditional nonionic emulsifier. The acrylate emulsion was synthesized by semi-continuous and pre-emulsification polymerization technology. The acrylate emulsion was analyzed by particle size analyzer, viscosity analyzer,surface tension,water absorption and thermal stability. The result showed that this surfactants could be reactive in the polymerization process and thus was covalently linked onto the surface of the latex particles of acrylate emulsion. So it was able to improve the stability of polyacrylate emulsion.

Ethyl cellulose was hybridized with methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate via mini-polymerization. The polymerization process was traced to obtain a stable reaction system. The effects of the EC content and viscosity on the monomer droplet size, the particle size and the monomer conversion were investigated. It was showed that the stability of the latex dispersion was strongly dependent of the EC content and viscosity. With investigation on ethyl cellulose series, initiator and crosslinker, the stable mini-emulsion with 10% ethyl cellulose was obtained under conditions of crosslinker and LPO as initiator.

In this work we present a facile way to produce hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles by wet chemical synthesis in the presence of polyelectrolytes under controlled temperature, pH, and atmospheric conditions. The resulting calcium rich carbonated HAP is sintered in an air atmosphere to investigate the thermal stability of the synthesized powders. The morphology and microstructure of the HAP nanoparticles were investigated by XRD, SEM, FTIR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and particle size analyzer. Polyelectrolytes affect the coherent length of the crystalline domain, the dimension and particle size distribution of the crystals. The reduction in size is greater in the direction of the c-axis. The SEM micrograph shows the formation of well-crystallized, agglomerated small particles of HAP. The mean size of the subunit is smaller than that of the surface of the grain observed in SEM. X-ray analysis have shown that the resulting particles have high thermal stability.

An acrylate emulsion was modified by vinyltriethoxy silane (VTES, trade name A-151) to synthesize the acrylosilane emulsion with high properties. The effect of the amount of A-151 on the properties pf the emulsion was investigated. It found that adding 6 % of A-151, the fraction extensibility of the emulsion film could be increased to 530 % and its water absorption was reduced to 4.2 % while adding 10 % of A-151. On the other side, the particle size and distribution of the emulsion were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Malvern Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) respectively. The measuring results showed that the particle diameter of the modified emulsion could be between 100 and 700 nanometers, and the properties of the emulsion could be apparently improved by adding A-151 into the system of emulsion polymerization.

Fluorinated acrylate emulsion was prepared in the presence of TPG as co-solvent, effects of TPG content to the polymerization stability and monomer conversion of the prepared emulsion was studied by the coagulation ratio and conversion rate, respectively. The hydrophobicity and oleophilicity of the polymer film was studied by water/oil contact angle. The chemical structure and morphology of the latexes was studied by FTIR and TEM observation, respectively. The results show that TPG has great impact on the stability of emulsion polymerization and morphology of the latex particles. The prepared fluorinate poly-acrylate emulsion has excellent water/oil repellency and thermal stability.

With polylactic acid (PLA) resin as walls and capsaicin as core substances, microcapsules were prepared based on diphase emulsion method. The microcapsule characteristics such as the particle size, inner structure and properties were investigated. The morphology and size distribution of the microcapsules were analyzed by laser particle size analyzer and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microcapsules had a mean diameter of about 60~120 µm. In addition, their thermal properties were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was demonstrated that the melting point and thermal stability were improved or changed compared with that of the pure capsaicin. These phenomena were caused by the encapsulated PLA resin over the surface.


Single, highly charged droplets of dioctylphthalate and sulphuric acid of radius between 1 and 10 μm are suspended in vacuum in a quadrupol trap. As the droplets evaporate their radius is monitored continuously by light scattering and their charge is determined periodically by weight balancing. The droplets break when the electric stress exceeds that of surface tension. The largest fragment remains trapped allowing a determination of the change in volume and charge. The fraction of volume and charge lost is found to be independent of particle size and sign of charge and is variable. The oil drops lose (15.0 ± 3.9)% of their charge on breakup and (2.25 ± 0.96)% of their mass. The acid droplets lose (49.4 ± 8.3)% of their charge and less than 0.1% of their mass. The acid results are compared with those from a model of field emission based upon prolate spheroid deformation and the formation of Taylor cones. For both oil and acid droplets the stability limits are in agreement with those predicted by Lord Rayleigh.

In the search for responsive complexes with potential applications in the formulation of smart dispersed systems such as foams, we hypothesized that a pH-responsive system could be formulated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) mixed with a cationic surfactant, Gemini 12-2-12 (G12). We studied PAA-G12 complexes at liquid–air interfaces by equilibrium and dynamic surface tension, surface rheology, and X-ray reflectometry (XRR). We found that complexes adsorb at the interfaces synergistically, lowering the equilibrium surface tension at surfactant concentrations well below the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the surfactant. We studied the stability of foams formulated with the complexes as a function of pH. The foams respond reversibly to pH changes: at pH 3.5, they are very stable; at pH > 6, the complexes do not form foams at all. The data presented here demonstrate that foam formation and its pH responsiveness are due to interfacial dynamics.

In order to make HPI have a wide application prospect in the food industry, we used EGCG to modify HPI. In this study, we prepared different concentrations (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mM) of (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) covalently linked to HPI and use methods such as particle size analysis, circular dichroism (CD), and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy to study the changes in the structure and functional properties of HPI after being covalently combined with EGCG. The particle size data indicated that the covalent HPI-EGCG complex was larger than native HPI, and the particle size was mainly distributed at about 200 μm. CD and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy analyses showed that the conformation of the protein was changed by conjugation with EGCG. The β-sheet content decreased from 82.79% to 66.67% after EGCG bound to the protein, and the hydrophobic groups inside the protein were exposed, which increased the hydrophobicity of the protein and changed its conformation. After HPI and 1 mM of EGCG were covalently bonded, the solubility and emulsifying properties of the covalent complex were improved compared with native HPI. These results indicated that HPI-EGCG conjugates can be added in some foods.
