Back to the principle, ”How to make capsules ?”
Thermodynamic Consideration

Spreading Coefficient
Si = γjk - (γij + γik) where, γjk is interfacial tension between j and k phases. Condition for complete engulfing of phase 1 by phase 3 S1 < 0(γ23 < γ12), when S2<0 and S3>0
1: hydrophobic liquid, 2: water, 3: polymer
6
Basic Understanding: - Surface Phenomena
Why most of the capsules are spherical ?
The molecules at the surface must have a higher energy than those in bulk, since they are partially freed from bonding with neighboring molecules !
Water
Air
7
Basic Understanding: - Surface Phenomena
Therefore, work must be done to take fully interacting molecules from the bulk of the liquid to create any new surface surface tension
How to measure the surface tension ?
Then how about with solid materials ?
A Work

Wc = 2ⅹsurface energy (2ⅹAⅹγs)
Unfortunately, we can’t define the surface area exactly…

Basic Understanding: - Surface Phenomena
Then how to determine γSL and γSV ?
• Measure the contact angle of liquids with various surface energy (γLV) and plot γLV vs. cosθ.
•Extrapolate it with the value of θ becomes 0 (we call this value γc, complete wetting) and then we can obtain (γc =) γSV.
• For specific liquid system, we apply γSV value and get γSL.

γc
γc = γSV
(complete wetting, γSL0)
10
Basic Understanding: - Surface Phenomena
• Surface energy of solids is closely related to its cohesive energy (The higher the surface energy, the higher its cohesion)
• Surrounding (water, vacuum, air, etc.) property significantly affect the force required to make a new surface (i.e., crack propagation)
• At the equilibrium, θγγγ cosLVSLSV +=
If we add surfactant, drop will spread, γSV - γSL - γLV > 0
Here we can define a parameter (Spreading coefficient); SLS = γSV - γSL - γLV

Basic Understanding: - Colloidal Phenomena
Grind to submicron size
bulk colloid “true” solution
Fundamental forces operate on fine particles 1. A gravitational force (settling or creaming depends on density difference) 2. Viscous drag force (resistance to motion) 3. Natural kinetic energy of particles and molecules (Brownian motion)

– Better storage stability
– Better transparency
– Fast film formation rate and permeability
– High reaction rate

– R2 Name – –Ph styrene – –CH=CH2 butadiene – –Cl vinyl chloride – –CO2H acrylic acid – –CO2Me methyl acrylate (butyl, …) – –OCOCH3 vinyl acetate
• R1 = CH3:
– –CO2Me methyl methacrylate (MMA) (butyl, …) • R1 = Cl:
– –CH=CH2 chlorobutadiene (neoprene)
26
Emulsion Polymerization • Initiation:
– e.g. R–N=N–R → 2R• + N2 ; rate coefficient kd R • + M → RM •
• Propagation: (monomer unit M) – –Mn• + M → –Mn+1• rate coefficient kp
• Termination:
– 2R• → dead polymer rate coefficient kt
• Transfer, e.g. to monomer: – –Mn• + M → –Mn + M • rate coefficient ktr – M • then starts another chain

Microemulsion Polymerization • Surfactants
– SDS : needs co-surfactants, short chain alcohols – Nonionics, some cationics (e.g., CTAB, DTAB), double chain
surfactants (e.g., Aerosol OT) need no co-surfactants
• Features – Thermodynamically stable – Enormous inner surface area – Various morphologies – No steady state reaction rate – Inorganic particle formation – Large amount of surfactant (7-15wt%)

Applications
• Anti-corrosive coatings – Sacrificial means: zinc-rich
coating
– Barrier effect: polymer coatings, inorganic filler (eg. MMT): increases pathway by parallel arrangement, stainless flakes, glass flakes, etc.
– Inhibition: Cr and Pb-based pigments metal phosphate, silicate, titanate or molybdate compounds
• Self-cleaning coatings – Hydrophobic-hydrophilic
effects – Lotus effect – Photo-reactive : TiO2
46
Applications Self-cleaning coating with TiO2
– Photo-catalytic titanium dioxide (TiO2): A strong oxidation power & super-hydrophilicity
– TiO2 coating cannot be coated directly onto an organic paint surface as this will attack the paint surface, causing a phenomenon so called paint-chalking.
