Abstract
Abstract Soda lignin or lignosulfonate from paper mills are often directly applied as surfactant for cement dispersion due to the presence of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in lignin. They are also applied to Pickering emulsion, but the efficiency is not so good. In this work, we modified lignin by grafting poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGME), and then the modified-lignin self-assembled into microspheres that was applied to a lignin-based Pickering emulsion with temperature responsiveness. The particle size of modified-lignin microspheres changed with temperature due to the thermoresponsiveness of the grafted polymer, which also subsequently affect the radius of emulsion droplets. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the modified lignin is 50 °C. When temperature changed from 25 °C to 70 °C, the average particle size of lignin microspheres decreased from 159 nm to 141 nm. Further rising temperature caused the lignin microspheres to agglomerate and to break the Pickering emulsion. The prepared Pickering emulsion is good for drug agent loading and stably-releasing. It is found that the cumulative drug release changed from 43.77% to over 80% after 14 hours at 25 °C and over 50 °C. The lignin-based Pickering emulsion have good thermal cycling stability and ionic resistance, which may offer a potential for the drug release.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology (JWCT) is focused on the rapid publication of research advances in the chemistry of bio-based materials and products, including all aspects of wood-based polymers, chemicals, materials, and technology. JWCT provides an international forum for researchers and manufacturers working in wood-based biopolymers and chemicals, synthesis and characterization, as well as the chemistry of biomass conversion and utilization.
JWCT primarily publishes original research papers and communications, and occasionally invited review articles and special issues. Special issues must summarize and analyze state-of-the-art developments within the field of biomass chemistry, or be in tribute to the career of a distinguished researcher. If you wish to suggest a special issue for the Journal, please email the Editor-in-Chief a detailed proposal that includes the topic, a list of potential contributors, and a time-line.
