Description

Telechelic alginate-based amphiphilic particle emulsifier, stable Pickering emulsion and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a telechelic alginate-based amphiphilic particle emulsifier, and stable Pickering emulsion and application thereof.
Background
A novel Pickering emulsion stabilized at the oil/water interface by polymeric "soft particles" has been developed with adjustable microstructure and viscoelasticity, providing an indispensable platform for meeting the specific needs of industrial and emerging applications. The utilization of amphiphilic self-assembled polymers such as micelles, vesicles, microgels and the like enables the polymer 'soft particle' emulsifier to have the advantages of both the polymer and the amphiphilic self-assembled body. The Pickering emulsion stabilized by the polymer 'soft particles' has obvious stability advantage compared with the traditional Pickering emulsion, and is very beneficial to the development of the emulsion field in terms of foundation and application. It is well known that the self-assembled microstructure of the oil-water interface, the viscoelasticity, the interfacial behavior and properties of particle-particle and droplet-droplet interactions are critical for exploring the stability mechanism of Pickering emulsions. Thus, pickering emulsions with tunable interfacial microstructure and viscoelasticity are worth further investigation.
At present, many studies have proposed the passage of temperature, pH, electricity, CO 2 /N 2 Or external stimuli such as magnetic fields, etc. to modulate the interfacial properties of the Pickering emulsion. The amphiphilic polymer adsorbed on the oil-water interface can act as a "soft" building block, and the interfacial properties of the Pickering emulsion can be tailored as desired, providing attractive properties for further applications. Light has been identified as a potential trigger for modulating the system viscoelasticity in a lossless manner, with high spatial-temporal resolution. Because coumarin can pass [ 2pi+2pi ] under ultraviolet irradiation]Cycloaddition produces photoinduced dimerization, forming covalent crosslinks. Therefore, coumarin has been widely used as a potential light response structure building unit for development of light response functional materials. In addition, coumarin has been reported to form a dynamic network in water as a telechelic molecule to enhance the rheological properties of solutions. However, the related research on interface information of photocrosslinked amphiphilic self-assembled polymer particles serving as Pickering emulsifiers is very little at present. Therefore, development of the amphiphilic self-assembled particles capable of regulating and controlling the oil-water interface property according to the requirement is of great significance for understanding the stability mechanism of the emulsion.
As the demand for green sustainable emulsifiers increases in the modern industry, there is a need to find available alternatives to chemical surfactants. Most polysaccharides and their derivatives are considered as sustainable emulsifiers. In recent years, sodium alginate has received increasing attention as a natural macromolecule that is non-toxic and biocompatible. The current research fully proves that the sodium alginate derivative obtained after the hydrophobic modification has excellent amphipathy. Since emulsion stability is highly dependent on the structure, composition, mechanical properties and evolution of the interfacial colloidal particle film. Thus, research into the properties of multiscale interfaces to gain insight into the microstructure-property relationships of amphiphilic macromolecular emulsifiers remains a challenge.

Detailed Description
The invention will be further described with reference to specific embodiments in order to provide a better understanding of the invention. The specific techniques or conditions are not identified in the examples and are performed according to techniques or conditions described in the literature in this field or according to the product specifications. The reagents or apparatus used were conventional products commercially available without the manufacturer's attention.
1. Synthesis of sodium alginate-based telechelic molecule
Sodium alginate (Alg, G/M ratio of 1.74 as determined by round dichroism) and 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin were purchased from ala Ding Huaxue reagent limited (Shanghai, china). Both Azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) and cyclohexylisocyante were ordered from the carbofuran chemical company, inc. Styrene and formaldehyde were purchased from mikrin chemical company, inc. Solvent oil No.150 (S-150) was supplied by Jiangsu Huaren chemical Co., ltd. All reagents were used without further purification.
Grafting 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin on a sodium alginate framework to prepare Amphiphilic Telechelic Molecules (ATMs), wherein the preparation process is as follows: a homogeneous solution of sodium alginate (2.5 wt%,80 mL) was adjusted to pH 3.6 by the addition of 0.5M hydrochloric acid. Subsequently, formaldehyde (1.8 mmol), a 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin/DMSO solution (1.3 mmol) and cyclohexyl isocyanide (1.8 mmol) were added sequentially to the solution, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24h. The product was dialyzed against distilled water for 3 days and further lyophilized to give the desired ATMs product.
FTIR and for purified amphiphilic telechelic molecules ATMs 1 The H NMR spectrum was characterized in detail, demonstrating the successful synthesis of the amphiphilic polymer, as shown in fig. 2A. The result shows that hydrophobic groups (cyclohexyl and coumarin) are successfully grafted to the hydrophilic sodium alginate molecular skeleton, so that the amphiphilic functional group of the alginate is endowed.

The amphiphilic telechelic molecules can self-assemble in aqueous solution to form an assembly. The prepared ATMs were prepared into ATMs solutions of different concentrations by adding distilled water, and the fluorescence intensity of the solutions was measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer to determine the Critical Aggregation Concentration (CAC) of the ATMs. As the concentration of ATMs increases, the fluorescence intensity of the solution also increases. The inflection point demonstrated that ATMs formed a large number of assemblies in aqueous solution, and the CAC value of ATMs was measured to be about 0.233g/L (FIG. 2B).
2. Preparation of aqueous phases of different molecular structures
ATMs were dissolved in distilled water to obtain a 0.1% (w/w) solution. In addition, photo-dimerization of coumarin derivatives was achieved by irradiating the ATMs solution under an ultraviolet lamp (365 nm,10 w). The optical change in the appearance of the solution was measured by an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer.
The photo-crosslinking aggregation behavior of ATMs under UV irradiation is shown in FIGS. 3-4. The ATMs solution showed blue fluorescence under uv irradiation, while with the irradiation time the fluorescence intensity was significantly reduced and clustered together, the reaction could reach its photostable state, indicating that photodimerization of coumarin derivatives occurred in the molecules (fig. 3b, fig. 4 a). Driven by hydrophobic interactions, ATM self-assembles into aggregates prior to uv radiation, as shown in TEM images. The aggregates contracted after 120 minutes of uv irradiation, and larger aggregates were also observed. The photo-dimerization reaction between coumarin fragments occurs not only inside aggregates, but also between aggregates. The photodimerization within the aggregates makes the structure of the aggregates more dense, while the bulk is the photodimerization between the aggregates. The ATMs solution exhibits blue fluorescence under ultraviolet irradiation, and the fluorescence intensity is obviously reduced along with the extension of irradiation time, which indicates that the coumarin end group can generate photoinduced dimerization. Furthermore, the dimerization reached a light steady state within 300 minutes. The self-assembled behaviour of the amphiphilic telechelic molecule is schematically shown in figure 4 b.
3. Preparation of Pickering emulsion
ATMs solution (0.1 wt%, before and after uv irradiation) and oil phase (oil volume fraction phio= 0.5,0.67,0.7,0.8) were mixed at a speed of 10,000rpm for 3 minutes to prepare Pickering emulsion.
As shown in fig. 5, ATMs before and after UV irradiation are capable of forming Pickering emulsions at different oil phase fractions, thus exhibiting good amphiphilicity. At the same polymer concentration, a higher oil volume fraction o results in a higher emulsified phase volume and lower flowability, resulting in an increase in stability. However, for low phio (0.5 and 0.67), there was no significant difference in the appearance of Pickering emulsions stabilized by ATMs. At phio=0.7, UV-free ATMs stabilized Pickering emulsions exhibited fluidity, indicating that photocrosslinked ATMs micelles could improve emulsifying properties. The Pickering emulsion at Φo=0.8 showed the highest stability. Thus, the Pickering emulsion system with phi o=0.8 was chosen as the subject in the following study.
4. Interfacial Properties of Pickering emulsions
To demonstrate that the interfacial activity of ATMs of different structures in the oil-water interface is not a special case, the interfacial properties of Pickering emulsions were studied on a microscopic scale.
For easy observation, rhodamine B (RhB) (concentration) is added into the oil phase<10 -6 mol/L), and then adding ATMs solution (0.1 wt% before and after ultraviolet irradiation) and oil phase (oil volume fraction phi o =0.8) was mixed at 10,000rpm for 3 minutes to prepare a Pickering emulsion, which was observed using a laser scanning confocal microscope (CLSM).
The microstructure of the ATMs at the oil/water interface is critical to the stability of the Pickering emulsion. The effect of interfacial activity of the different self-assembled structures of ATMs on emulsifying properties was confirmed by optical micrograph and CLSM images (fig. 5). By marking the polymer with RhB to make the soft particles visible, it can clearly be observed that adsorption and accumulation of ATM at the oil/water interface results in the formation of a dense interfacial film, which creates a dense barrier for the droplets, prevents coalescence and contributes to the stability of the Pickering emulsion (fig. 6a, c). The structure of ATM is an important parameter affecting the stability of the Pickering emulsion. When the oil volume fraction was kept at 0.8, the Pickering emulsion stabilized by photo-crosslinked ATMs showed smaller droplet size and thicker interfacial film than the emulsion prepared by ATMs without UV, as shown in FIG. 6 (b, d).
The structure of the amphiphilic substance plays a crucial role in influencing the interfacial behaviour and emulsifying properties. To further investigate the effect of photocrosslinking structures on micelle interface properties, oil-in-water (styrene) Pickering emulsions were prepared with styrene (containing initiator) instead of the oil phase. The surface morphology of the polystyrene microsphere is analyzed through SEM, so that the relationship between the structure and the emulsifying property of the polymer micelle is better understood. It can be seen that for different molecular structures, the ATMs Pickering emulsion without UV illumination had a small amount of self-assembled sphere aggregates present at the oil/water interface, as shown in FIG. 7 (a, c). In comparison, in fig. 7 (b, d), the UV-irradiated ATMs stabilized oil-water interface exhibited a rough surface and a denser interfacial particle film, indicating that photocrosslinked micelles could enhance interfacial adsorption, i.e., exhibited typical particle emulsifiers and enhanced particle aggregation due to the formation of stronger attractive interactions between adjacent particles. Furthermore, at different phi o And phi under the experimental conditions of (1) o Compared to =0.67, all samples were at Φ o The stable Pickering emulsions at =0.8 all exhibited greater interfacial coverage and smaller droplet size, indicating Φ o The increase in Pickering emulsion enhances the stability of the Pickering emulsion. These results are consistent with those observed in the macroscopic physical image of Pickering emulsion. Therefore, this also demonstrates that the interfacial assembly behavior of ATMs with different self-assembled structures in the oil-water interface is not a special case. It does support our initial hypothesis that cross-linked ATMs micelles enhance particle-particle interactions. The stability and droplet size of all Pickering emulsions depends on the structure of the soft particles.
5. Pickering emulsion viscoelasticity
The effect of photodimerization of coumarin groups on the viscoelasticity of Pickering emulsions was studied with the results of the above preliminary observations quantified on a microscopic scale by the rheological properties of Pickering emulsions.
Combining ATMs in solution(0.1 wt.% before and after UV irradiation) and an oil phase (oil volume fraction #) o =0.8) was mixed at 10,000rpm for 3 minutes to prepare a Pickering emulsion.
The rheological properties of the emulsions were determined with a DHR rotarheometer (TA, USA) equipped with a parallel plate clamp (diameter 60 mm) at 25 ℃. Stable shear flow test is carried out in a controlled rate mode, and the shear rate ranges from 0.01 to 1200s -1 . The linear viscoelastic region was determined by performing an oscillatory strain sweep experiment with an increase in the linear viscoelastic region of the emulsion at a frequency of 1Hz in the range of 0.01-1000%. The oscillation frequency sweep test was performed at a fixed strain amplitude of 1% in the linear range, the frequency sweep range was 0.01Hz to 100Hz, and the elastic modulus G' and the viscous modulus G "versus frequency curves were recorded.
Figure 8a shows that all emulsions exhibit typical shear thinning behavior. At a fixed shear rate, the viscosity of the crosslinked ATMs micelle stabilized Pickering emulsion was higher than the sample prior to light irradiation. Fig. 8b is a strain sweep test of a Pickering emulsion. The presence of the crossover point was observed under all pressure conditions. The test was performed under conditions where the Linear Viscoelastic Region (LVR) range was below 1%, ensuring data accuracy. Thus, as shown in fig. 8c, frequency sweep measurements were performed on Pickering emulsions prepared with ATMs before and after illumination at an amplitude of 1%. In all samples, G' was higher than G "over the entire frequency range, and thus, the Pickering emulsion exhibited a weak gel-like character from which it can be deduced that the elastic behavior of the oil-water interface film. In all cases, the G 'and G "of the corresponding samples after UV irradiation were increased, especially G', compared to the Pickering emulsion stabilized with non-irradiated ATMs, which means that the interfacial film formed at the oil-water interface of the ATMs after photo-dimerization was more elastic than that formed with non-irradiated ATMs. The results show that the photo-crosslinked ATMs enhance the strength of the three-dimensional network structure and the elasticity of the interfacial film formed by the oil-water interface, and the interaction between emulsion droplets stabilized by the photo-dimeric micelles can have a stronger barrier. This also does confirm our original hypothesis that the stronger interactions between adjacent viscous particles caused by photodimerization directly lead to higher emulsion viscosity and viscoelasticity (G' and G ").
Dissipative quartz crystal microbalances (QCM-D) are a powerful technique that can sensitively monitor the viscoelasticity of solid/liquid interfacial films. Adsorption behavior and interfacial properties of ATM on oil film surface were studied using QCM-D model of Q-Sense E4 system (Biolin Scientific AB, sweden) and gold sensor (QSX) to help understand the potential stability mechanism of Pickering emulsion on microscopic scale. The specific operation is as follows, 300mL oil/CHCl 3 The solution (0.5% w/v) was spin coated (30 s) onto a clean gold sheet surface at 3000 rpm. The gold flakes were then dried under vacuum at 40 ℃ for 12 hours. ATMs (before and after UV irradiation) were introduced into the test cell and QCM-D tested at a flow rate of 50mL/min (25 ℃). All gold pieces were washed with a washing solution (a 5:1:1 ratio mixture of Millipore water, 30% hydrogen peroxide and 25% ammonia) at 75 ℃ for 20 minutes, finally with water and dried with nitrogen.
Figure 9a depicts the possible interface behavior of an ATM before or after uv irradiation at the oil-water interface. Δf and Δd are the changes in frequency and dissipation, respectively. In fig. 9b, a decrease in Δf and an increase in Δd are observed during adsorption, which means that a large amount of ATMs is deposited on the sensor surface. With the addition of ATMs, the amphiphilic polysaccharide assemblies continue to interact with the oil layer. Adsorption equilibrium did not occur even at the end of the 22 hour adsorption period. ATM after UV irradiation (Δf-6 Hz, ΔD-7×10) -6 ) Shows the highest response in frequency and dissipation variation than before ultraviolet irradiation (Δf-4 Hz, Δd-5.5x10-6), probably due to the increase in the adsorption of the particulate emulsifier due to photodimerization.
The ΔD- Δf plot determines the conformational change and properties of the adsorption membrane. The change in ΔD/Δf slope represents a conformational change. After addition of amphiphilic polymer, the adsorption behavior represents "fast" kinetics, such as curves where scattering occurs and higher slopes. Subsequently, the curve follows a "slow" kinetics and exhibits a lower slope, indicating the possible presence of multi-layer adsorption. During slow adsorption, the ATMs slope after UV irradiation were higher than the ATMs before irradiation, indicating a soft interfacial film structure. Through thickness h f Mass, shear viscosity eta f And shear elastic modulus mu f The interfacial information of the ATM during adsorption and desorption of the interfacial film before and after photodimerization was further quantitatively evaluated as a function of time as shown in fig. 9 (d-g). ATMs after UV irradiation show the highest h during adsorption f Quality, eta f Sum mu f . Therefore, the dimerized ATMs have more adsorption on the oil-water interface, which is helpful for the increase of the thickness and the quality of the interfacial film. Adsorption of the dimerized ATMs at the oil-water interface shows a higher viscosity and elastic structure, which may be a key reason for the more stable emulsion.

Any equivalent modifications and substitutions for this practical use will also occur to those skilled in the art, and are within the scope of the present invention.
