Pickering Emulsions Stabilized by Polystyrene Particles Possessing Different Surface Groups.


ABSTRACT: Colloidal polystyrene (PS) latex particles in water can undergo interesting charge reversal in the presence of particular electrolytes. It is worth exploring the effect of charge reversal on the properties of Pickering emulsions they stabilize. Herein, emulsions stabilized by PS latex particles possessing different surface groups (sulfate, amidine, or carboxyl) were prepared in the presence of tetrapentylammonium bromide (TPeAB) or sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) electrolytes. The effect of salt concentration on the charge of the particles and their colloid stability was measured. Emulsions were prepared from aqueous dispersions, and their type and stability were determined. The three-phase contact angle of particles at the planar oil-water interface was also measured using a gel trapping technique. It was found that the type of emulsion stabilized by latex particles is dominated by the hydrophobic PS portion on particle surfaces, although their surface charge is strongly affected by electrolyte addition. Preferred emulsions were always water-in-oil with dodecane, and charge reversal had little influence on the emulsion type and stability. However, transitional phase inversion of emulsions stabilized by carboxyl latex particles occurred on adding salt when the oil was a low-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane.
