Abstract

Effects of continuous oil phase on silver halide nanoparticles were investigated where nanoparticles were prepared using two different types of water-in-oil(W/O) microemulsions containing silver and halide, respectively. Phase behavior experiments for ternary systems containing AOT surfactant, hydrocarbon oil and aqueous solution of an inorganic salt showed that the region of one phase W/O microemulsion was found to be broadened with an increase in the alkyl chain length of a hydrocarbon mainly due to an increase in hydrophilic nature of a surfactant. With the information of phase behavior experiments, silver halide nanoparticles were prepared using different AOT-based microemulsion systems and photomicrographs obtained by transmission electron microscopy indicated that about 10 nm size particles of relatively spherical shape were obtained. It has been found that an increase in alkyl chain length of a hydrocarbon results in a decrease in particle size because of higher intermicellar exchange rate among microemulsion drops. The average particle size was also found to increase with the inorganic salt composition of initial aqueous solution.

본 연구에서는 연속상의 종류가 AOT 계면활성제 시스템의 water-in-oil(W/O) 마이크로에멀젼을 이용한 할로겐화은 나노입자 제조에 미치는 영향에 관하여 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 계면활성제, 연속상 오일, 무기염 수용액으로 이루어진 삼성분 시스템에 대하여 탄화수소의 연속상 종류를 변화하면서 상평형 실험을 수행한 결과, 탄화수소의 사슬 길이가 증가함에 따라 계면활성제 시스템의 친수성이 증가하여 단일상으로 존재하는 W/O 마이크로에멀젼 영역은 증가하였다. 상평형 실험결과에 의하여 결정된 단일상의 영역 내에서 W/O 마이크로에멀젼을 이용하여 할로겐화은 나노입자를 제조한 결과, 10 nm 전후의 구형에 가까운 비교적 균일한 입자가 형성되었다. 사용한 연속상 탄화수소의 사슬 길이가 증가할수록 마이크로에멀젼의 film rigidity를 감소시킴에 따라 마이크로에멀젼 사이의 교환 속도가 빨라져서 생성된 할로겐화은 나노입자의 크기는 작아지고 반면에 개수는 증가하였다. 또한 동일한 시스템에서 무기염 수용액의 조성을 증가시킴에 따라 생성된 나노입자의 크기는 증가함을 알 수 있었다.
