In this paper, the effect of droplet charge density on stabilization of the <i>n</i>-decane-in-water OID emulsion was examined by using a cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)/C<sub>12</sub>B (dodecyl dimethyl carboxyl betaine) binary mixture at a low fixed total concentration (0.01 mM) with varying molar fractions of CTAB. A model based on the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory is proposed to calculate interaction energies between droplets and between droplets and particles. It is found that the droplet charge density can be well compensated by particle concentration along the stabilization boundary, and the OID emulsion still follows the DLVO stabilization. Particles tend to surround droplets at large distances but may form a monolayer between approaching droplets at shorter distances, which significantly reduces the van der Waals attraction between droplets. In addition, the induced auxiliary droplet–particle repulsion is proportional to the number of particles per unit area of droplet surfaces, which together with the droplet–droplet repulsion ensures a large total repulsion preventing droplets from flocculation and coalescence. This work explains quantitatively the stabilization of OID emulsions, which have potential applications in emulsion products such as foods, cosmetics, pesticides, and various industrial emulsion systems. Moreover, the development of the OID emulsions represents an important advancement in green chemistry as it substantially reduces the required amounts of emulsifiers and their environmental impact after use.</p>","PeriodicalId":17083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surfactants and Detergents","volume":"28 2","pages":"373-387"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143565303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such microcapsules aim to limit interactions between the PCM and the matrix (i.e., leakage and unwanted reactions). Optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows that the mean size of the n-eicosane capsule is of the order of 5 μm. However, large non-spherical objects which could be clusters of flocculated capsules or the results of encapsulation of coalescing n-eicosane droplets, are observed, particularly when mechanical stirring (MS) is used rather than when an ultra-turrax (UT) or sonotrode (S) is used in the initial emulsification step. These large, partially encapsulated objects could be the cause of the poor results in leakage tests. It is possible to encapsulate n-eicosane inside a calcium carbonate shell, with a greater than 50% encapsulation ratio. The yield of encapsulated n-eicosane measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is similar and shows that 55% n-eicosane core in CaCO<sub>3</sub> shell can be produced. Up to 33 wt.% CaCO<sub>3</sub> microcapsules (with 55% n-eicosane content) have been successfully incorporated into fresh geopolymer paste.
