Description
PROCESS FOR PREPARING FLUORINATED, INORGANIC HOLLOW
NANOSPHERES
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Field of the Disclosure
The present disclosure relates to a process for preparing fluorinated, inorganic hollow nanospheres, more particularly to a process for preparing fluorinated, inorganic hollow nanospheres using solvent based silica precursors and their use in coating compositions. Description of the Related Art
Nanospheres are submicroscopic colloidal systems composed of a solid or liquid core surrounded by a thin polymer or inorganic shell. This solid or liquid core is removed to form hollow nanospheres. Such core- shell systems may be prepared from micro or miniemulsions via
polymerization reaction at the interface of the droplets, the so-called interfacial polymerization reaction. Interfacial polymerization occurs at the interface of two immiscible phases, for example, oil and water, and a thin shell is formed. In the formation of the shell, the monomers are in either oil or water phase to participate in the reaction. Typically, for the
preparation of core-shell nanocapsules via interfacial polymerization, a microemulsion or miniemulsion is first prepared, either water in oil or oil in water, wherein in the former nanocapsules with an aqueous core suspended in oil are formed and in the latter nanocapsules with an oily core suspended in water are formed. Existing processes for the
preparation of fluorinated inorganic hollow particle dispersions often involve using polymer spheres as hard template or produce hollow particles of unwanted large-size aggregation in addition to hollow particles.
A need exists for a process for preparing fluorinated inorganic hollow particle dispersions via an interfacial miniemulsion sol-gel reaction without using a hard polymer template.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
In a first aspect, the disclosure provides a process for preparing a fluorinated silica hollow nanosphere comprising:
(a) providing a mixture comprising water, at least one non-reactive solvent; at least one fluorosilane having a general formula
Rf(CH2)mSiRx(OR')y or Rf(CH2)m-A-C(O)-NH-(CH2)nSiRx(OR')y where, Rf is a linear or branched perfluoroalkyl group containing 1 -10 carbon atoms, m = 1 -5, n = 1 -5, R is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 -12 carbon atoms, R' is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 -4 carbon atoms, x = 0-2, y = 1 -
3 x + y = 3, A = O or NH; at least one solvent based silica precursor solution; and at least one surfactant;
(b) shearing the components of the mixture from (a) with high shear energy at an energy density of at least 10Λ6 J/mA3 to form a mini-emulsion; and
(c) initiating a one-step sol-gel reaction forming fluorinated hollow silica nanospheres having a particle size of less than about 400nm.
By non-reactive solvent we mean that the solvent does not
substantially react, more typically does not react, with any of the other components added to the reaction. The non-reactive solvent is compatible with the solvent-based silica precursor.

The disclosure relates to a process for preparing an inorganic hollow particle dispersion using fluorosilanes. These fluorinated inorganic hollow particle dispersions are useful as hiding or opacifying agents in coating and molding compositions. They also provide easy-clean property in coatings. They are also useful as drug delivery systems in the
pharmaceutical and medical industries; in food, personal care and cosmetics; and agriculture.
The dispersion has a solids concentration of at least 2% solids, more typically about 2 wt% to about 7 wt%, still more typically about 2 wt% to about 5 wt%.

The disclosure provides a process for preparing a fluorinated silica hollow nanosphere comprising:
(a) providing a mixture comprising water, at least one non-reactive solvent; at least one fluorosilane having a general formula
Rf(CH2)mSiRx(OR')y or Rf(CH2)m-A-C(O)-NH-(CH2)nSiRx(OR')y where, Rf is a linear or branched perfluoroalkyl group containing 1 -10 carbon atoms, m = 1 -5, n = 1 -5, R is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 -12 carbon atoms, R' is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 -4 carbon atoms, x = 0-2, y = 1 -

The non-reactive solvent may be an alkane, a hydrocarbon oil, aromatic hydrocarbon or halogenated hydrocarbon liquid, more typically alkane or hydrocarbon oil. For an oil-in-water miniemulsion, the non- reactive solvent is present in the amount of about 1 wt% to about 35 wt%, based on the total weight of all components. For a water-in oil
miniemulsion, the non-reactive solvent is present in the amount of about 65 wt% to about 99 wt%, based on the total weight of all components.
The fluorosilane has a general formula Rf(CH2)mSiRx(OR')y or
Rf(CH2)m-A-C(O)-NH-(CH2)nSiRx(OR')y wherein Rf is a linear or branched
perfluoroalkyl group containing 1 -10 carbon atoms, m = 1 -5, n = 1 -5, R is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 -12 carbon atoms, R' is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 -4 carbon atoms, x = 0-2, y = 1 -3 and a total of x and y should be 3, A = O or NH. The fluorosilane may be 1 H,1 H,2H,2H-Perfluoalkyltriethoxysilane, Dimethoxy-methyl(3,3,3- trifluoropropyl)silane, Trimethoxy(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silane, or
3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-Tridecafluorooctyl [3- (triethoxysilyl)propyl]carbamate or 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8- Tridecafluorooctyl [3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]urea, more typically
1 H,1 H,2H,2H-Perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane or 1 H,1 H,2H,2H-
Perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane. The fluorosilanes above are commercially available (Sigma-Aldrich) or can be prepared via the reaction of
trialkoxysilylalkylisocyante with fluorinated alcohols or fluorinated amines to provide corresponding carbamates, or ureas. The fluorsilane is typically present in the amount of about 1 wt% to about 50 wt%, based on the total weight of the silica precursor.
The solvent based silica precursor is tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) tertrapropyl orthosilicate (TPOS), tetrabutyl orthosilicate (TBOS), tetrahexyl orthosilicate,
diethoxydimethylsilane, ethoxytrimethylsilane, methoxytrimethylsilane, Trimethoxy(octyl)silane, Triethoxy(octyl)silane, Methoxy(dimethyl)- octylsilane, or 3-Aminopropyl-(diethoxy)methylsilane; more typically tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) or tertrapropyl orthosilicate (TPOS). The concentration of silica precursor is about 1 to about 10 wt%, more typically about 2 to about 7 wt%, still more typically about 2 to about 5 wt%, based on the total weight of the all components.
At least one surfactant is part of the mixture in step (a). Some suitable surfactants include cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), lauryltrimethylammonium bromide, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, octyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), dioctylsulfosuccinate , nonionic surfactants such as alkylphenol polyoxyethylene, polyoxyethylene glycol alkyl ethers, polyoxypropylene glycol alkyl ethers, or octylphenol
ethoxylates, or poloxamers, more typically SDS, SDBS or CTAB. Some useful commercially available surfactants series include Triton X®
manufactured by The Dow Chemical Company, Brij® manufactured by Croda International PLC, or Pluoronic® manufactured by BASF. The surfactant concentration is about 0.001 wt% to about 5 wt%, more typically about 0.1 wt% to about 2 wt%, based on the total weight of all
components.
The silica precursors to non-reactive solvent ratio is about 0.1 to about 6, more typically about 0.5 to about 3, still more typically about 1 to about 2; oil to water ratio or water to oil is about 0.01 to 0.5, more typically 0.01 to 0.2; and surfactant concentration is about 0.001 wt% to about 5 wt%, more typically 0.1 wt% to about 2 wt%, based on the total weight of all
components. The water phase comprises water and surfactant and the oil phase comprises at least one non-reactive solvent; at least one fluorosilane having a general formula Rf(CH2)mSiRx(OR')y or Rf(CH2)m-A-C(O)-NH- (CH2)nSiRx(OR')y where, Rf is a linear or branched perfluoroalkyl group containing 1 -10 carbon atoms, m = 1 -5, n = 1 -5, R is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 -12 carbon atoms, R' is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 1 -4 carbon atoms, x = 0-2, y = 1 -3 x + y = 3, A = O or NH; and at least one solvent based silica precursor solution. It is important because the combination of silica precursor to non-reactive solvent ratio, oil to water or water to oil ratio and surfactant level determine the particle size, hollow or non-hollow particle structure, and allow high % solid hollow silica synthesis. The process is carried out in the absence of a catalyst or alcohol cosolvent.
The mixture in step (a) may be prepared in any glass container or stainless steel reaction vessel.
The mixture of the above components is then sheared at an energy density of at least 10Λ6 J/mA3, more typically about 10Λ7 J/mA3 to about 5*10Λ8 J/mA3, to form a mini-emulsion. Some useful means for shearing include an ultrasonic disruptor, high speed blender, high pressure homogenizer, high shear disperser, membrane homogenizer or colloid
mill, more typically an ultrasonic disruptor, high speed blender, or a high pressure homogenizer. Typically shearing occurs for a period of about 5 to about 120 minutes depending on amount of emulsion needed to be prepared and desired emulsion size range, more typically about 30 minutes to about 60 minutes. Typically, shearing is accomplished at room temperature. Optionally, a defoamer may be needed to avoid foaming during emulsifying. Some suitable defoamers include BASF's
Foamaster®, Dow Corning® 71 and 74 Antifoams.
A sol gel reaction or process is a method used for fabrication of solid metal oxides materials, especially the oxides of silicon and titanium, from small molecules. The process involves conversion of monomers
(precursors) into a colloidal solution that later on turns into an integrated network (or gel) of particles or network polymers.
A one-step sol-gel reaction of this disclosure is initiated using the mini- emulsion formed in step (b), by holding it at room temperature or about 20°C to about 90°C, more typically about 20°C to about 70°C, with or without stirring for several hours to allow the silica precursors to diffuse to the oil/water interface, where they hydrolyze and condense to form a silica shell resulting in silica hollow particles having a particle size of less than about 400 nm being formed. The pH may be typically adjusted to between 4 and 10 prior to initiation of the one step sol gel process.
Typically the miniemulsion is held for several hours, more typically at least 4 hours to form, in one step, a fluorinated hollow silica nanosphere having a particle size of less than about 400nm. Heating may be accomplished using hot plate, heating mantle or any other heating method.
Applications:
These inorganic hollow particle dispersions are useful as hiding or opacifying agents in coating and molding compositions. They also provide water and oil repellency, easy to clean and or dirt-pickup resistance properties in coating and molding compositions. They are also useful as
drug delivery systems in the pharmaceutical and medical industries; in food, personal care and cosmetics; and agriculture.
