Abstract
It has been known that small solid particles act as a stabilizer in pickering emulsion system. In this study, we successfully prepared stable pickering emulsion in n-hexylalcohol and water system with $TiO_2$ whose surface was treated by alkylsilane. The optimum condition to prepare pickering emulsion stabilized by $TiO_2$ particles was determined by amount of $TiO_2$ particles and ratio of water and oil phase. The type of pickering emulsion was dependent on wettability of particles for water and n-hexylalcohol. When the amount of $TiO_2$ particles increased up to 5.00 wt%, the stability of pickering emulsion was showed to be improved. The most stable pickering emulsion was prepared in the case of W/O type which has the ratio of oil and water phase (3 : 7). We tried to prepare porous $SiO_2-TiO_2$ composite pigments using a pickering emulsion as template at the optimal condition. Porous pigments were synthesized with Ludox HS-30 as an inorganic material by sol-gel process. The characteristics and shape of porous pigments were measured by optical microscope, SEM, BET, XRD and EDS.
작은 고체 분체들은 피커링 유화 체계에서 안정화제로 작용하는 것은 이미 알려진 사실이다. 이 연구에서 우리는 알킬실란 처리 $TiO_2$와 n-헥실알코올, 수계로 안정한 피커링 에멀젼을 제조하였다. $TiO_2$ 입자에 의해 안정화된 피커링 에멀젼을 제조하기 위한 최적의 조건은 $TiO_2$ 입자의 양과 수상/유상의 비에 의해 결정된다. 피커링 에멀젼의 형태는 물과 n-헥실알코올에 대한 입자들의 젖음성에 의존된다. 피커링 에멀젼은 $TiO_2$가 5.00 wt%, 오일과 수상의 비가 3 : 7인 경우에 가장 안정하였다. 피커링 에멀젼을 형판으로 하여 무기 전조체를 졸-겔 공정에 의해 다공성 분체들이 합성되었다. 합성된 다공성 분체들은 광학 현미경, SEM, BET, XRD 및 EDS에 의해 확인되었다.
