Abstract

In this work, a non-toxic isocyanate HDB-LV is used for the first time to produce monodispersed polyurea microspheres with a size from 10 to

40 μ m

via a microfluidic droplet approach. The toxic ethylenediamine which is usually necessary for the synthesis of polyurea, is found to be not adaptable for the formation of polyurea microspheres because it can either cause swelling (at low amine concentration) or deformation (at high amine concentration) of the microspheres. A theoretical mechanism for the swelling phenomenon of microspheres is elucidated. Alternatively, thermal hydrolysis of isocyanates that can generate amines is proven to be very effective for the synthesis of polyurea microspheres. A linear relationship between the sizes of microfluidic droplets and polyurea microspheres is found and discussed quantitatively. In the end, the polyurea microspheres from 2 to

40 μ m

are characterized to have no obvious scattering effects against UV.

期刊介绍： Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests: Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods. Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition. Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces). Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles. Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology. Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying. Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body. Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters. For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
