Entropy-mediated patterning of surfactant-coated nanoparticles and surfaces.
We perform atomistic and mesoscale simulations to explain the origin of experimentally observed stripelike patterns formed by immiscible ligands coadsorbed on the surfaces of gold and silver nanoparticles. We show that when the conformational entropy gained via this morphology is sufficient, microphase-separated stripelike patterns form. When the entropic gain is not sufficient, we instead pred...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of water and surfactant AOT at nanoemulsion surfaces.
Nanoemulsions and microemulsions are environments where oil and water can be solubilized in one another to provide a unique platform for many different biological and industrial applications. Nanoemulsions, unlike microemulsions, have seen little work done to characterize molecular interactions at their surfaces. This study provides a detailed investigation of the near-surface molecular structu...
متن کاملPredicting Surfactant Cloud Point from Molecular Structure
A general empirical relationship has been developed for estimating the cloud point of pure nonionic surfactants of the alkyl ethoxylate class. For a set of 62 structures, composed of linear alkyl, branched alkyl, cyclic alkyl, and alkylphenyl ethoxylates, cloud points can be estimated to an accuracy of ±6.3°C (3.7°C median error) using the logarithm of the number of ethylene oxid...
متن کاملHydration forces between surfaces of surfactant coated single-walled carbon nanotubes.
The interaction force between functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) plays an important role in the fabrication of self-assembled and highly ordered SWNT arrays for a wide range of potential applications. Here, we measured interaction force between SWNTs encapsulated with polymerized surfactant monolayer (p-SWNTs). The balance between the repulsion between p-SWNTs and the osmotic...
متن کاملInteractions between surfactant-coated surfaces in hydrocarbon liquids containing functionalized polymer dispersant
Knowledge of the structure and interactions of mixed polymer/surfactant colloidal systems is essential for simultaneously controlling the stability and rheological properties of colloidal dispersions such as emulsions and lubricating oils [1, 2]. The surfactant and polymer together provide stability against coagulation and control the viscosity of the ̄uid, the practical aim being to produce hig...
