The production process of acrylic dispersion occurs by emulsion polymerizationroute that industrially works with three basic principles (i) aqueous reaction environmental; (ii) monomers slightly soluble in water are stabilized using anionic and non-ionic surfactants and (iii) initiator managed is soluble in water. Alkylphenol ethoxylated non-ionic surfactant (APEO) was often used in industrial synthesis of acrylic latex dispersions due to its low cost and high performance. Howeverthe toxicity of APEO motivated the search for alkylphenol ethoxylated non-ionic surfactants free (APEO-free).The effect of the type of surfactant on the colloidal stability of acrylic dispersions was evaluated by ζ- potential measurementsdynamic light scattering (DLS) and phase separation analyser LUMiReader.

Efficient filter testing by measuring the number-based size distribution of nano- and microparticles in the filtrate (SPLS-Technology®) AuthorE. Wollik, H. Woehlecke, M. Hussels, D.

Particle sizesize distribution and particle number are important characteris-ticswhose determination requires valid measuring methods. Number-based quantifying becomes more difficult the smaller the particles to be examined are and creates great challenges for the measurement technologyespecially for particles of nano- and sub-micrometer range. In this paper we describe the measuring technique of an advanced photometer measuring simultaneously forward and sideward light scattering of single particles (SPLS-Technology). Light intensities allow to determine size distribution and particle concentration of nano- and microparticles in suspensions and emulsions with unparalleled resolution and a dynamic range from below 50 nm to 8 µm. In this paper we report about the application of these measuring technique for filter media and membrane testing (cut-of).

We used a versatile strategy to produce a stable Pickering emulsion by depletion interaction between an emulsion droplet and a particle using solvent-soluble polymers as a depletant. This interaction facilitates the adsorption of particles onto the droplet interface and stabilizes the emulsions. The coating formulation is based on water-in-toluene emulsions stabilized using commercial hydrophobic silicawith polycaprolactone polymer as a depletant dissolved in toluene.

Nonethelessits application as a nutraceutical is hugely hindered by its low bioaccessibility and mucosal irritation. In this studycapsaicin was entrapped in the water phase of water-in-oil (W/O) high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) using a pH-driven method. Initiallythe capsaicin was mixed with sodium alginate (SA) to form a water-dispersible form of the capsaicin and then used to form CAP-loaded W/O HIPEs. The influence of capsaicin concentration on the properties of W/O HIPEs was then investigated. More details Edition123 Internal reference2717 Open publication →

In many studies of manufacturing flexible strain sensors using carbon nanotubes (CNTs)various solvents are used to disperse CNTs. Howevermost studies lack explanation of the rationale for using specific solventwhich is mainly used to disperse CNTs and make CNT solution. There are studies dealing with the degree of dispersion in specific solvent of CNTsbut these studies lack information on solvents in the sensor manufacturing process. Thereforeresearchers have difficulty in determining which solvent to use for CNT dispersion in their process because solvent selection varies depending on the sensor manufacturing method. Thusthe dispersion stability of CNT solutions with several solvents and the characteristics of CNT sheets made from each CNT solution were quantitatively compared. Thereforedispersion stability analysis was performed through a LUMiSizer dispersion analyzer to quantitatively compare the dispersion capabilities of each solvent and find out the More details Edition345 Internal reference2709 Open publication →
