Abstract

The effects of cosurfactant on silica nanoparticles were investigated in systems containing surfactant, oil and aqueous ammonia solution where nanoparticles were prepared using a single phase water-in-oil (W/O) microemulsion. For the same oil phase, a single phase region was dependent on the interaction between surfactant and oil. For the cyclohexane system, NP-5 surfactant showed a wider single phase region than NP-4. The addition of n-propanol as a cosurfactant resulted in an increase or a decrease of a single phase W/O microemulsion region depending on the continuous oil phase. For both cyclohexane and isooctane systems, the addition of n-propanol resulted in a decrease in the single phase region. On the other hand, for n-heptane system, the addition of n-propanol expanded a single phase W/O microemulsion region. Silica nanoparticles prepared within a single phase region showed that relatively large number of particles of irregular shape were obtained with the addition of n-propanol to NP surfactant system. The addition of n-propanol to LA-5 surfactant and n-heptane system produced a decrease in average particle size and an increase in the number of particles formed due to a decrease in the intermicellar exchange rate among microemulsion droplets.

본 연구에서는 계면활성제, 오일, 암모니아 수용액으로 이루어진 시스템에 보조계면활성제 첨가가 단일상의 마이크로에멀젼을 이용한 실리카 나노입자 제조에 미치는 영향에 관하여 살펴보았다. 동일한 연속상의 오일을 사용한 경우, 단일상의 W/O 마이크로에멀젼 영역은 계면활성제와 연속상 오일의 상호작용에 의하여 결정되었다. 예를 들어 연속상 오일로 cyclohexane을 사용한 경우에는 실험에 사용한 NP(nonylphenol ethoxylate) 계면활성제 중에서 NP-5가 가장 넓은 W/O 마이크로에멀젼 영역을 나타냈으며, NP-4가 가장 좁은 W/O 마이크로에멀젼 영역을 나타내었다. NP 계면활성제 시스템에 n-propanol을 보조계면활성제로 첨가한 경우, 단일상의 영역은 연속상 오일의 종류에 따라 증가 또는 감소하였다. 예를 들어, cyclohexane과 isooctane 시스템에서는 n-propanol 첨가에 따라 단일상의 마이크로에멀젼 영역은 감소하나 n-heptane 시스템의 경우에는 증가하였다. 실리카 나노입자 실험을 수행한 결과에 의하면 NP 계면활성제 시스템의 경우 보조계면활성제를 첨가함에 따라 한 상의 영역에서의 제조와 관계없이 많은 수의 불균일한 입자가 생성되었다. LA-5 계면활성제와 n-heptane 시스템에서의 n-propanol 첨가는 입자의 크기는 감소하며, 개수는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 n-propanol 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 계면활성제의 소수 결합이 증가하여 마이크로에멀젼 사이의 상호 물질 교환이 잘 일어나지 않기 때문으로 생각된다.
