It is found that the water content at phase inversion point reaches a maximum when the molar ratio of the hydrophilic component PEG10000 to the hydrophobic component bisphenol A epoxy resin E20 is equal to 1∶1, meanwhile, the particle size reaches a minimum (about 100 nm). From the experimental results, it can be seen that to alter the molecular architecture of the emulsifier is an effective method to control the size of the waterborne particles prepared by phase inversion emulsification technique.展开更多

It was easy to obtain crack free silica monolith due to low volume shrinkage during the gelation. The morphology of the titled silica was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and X ray diffraction. The results showed that the pores were worm like and the pore size was about 4 nm. Further nitrogen isothermal absorption experiment indicated that the specific area of the titled material was 391 m 2/g, which was comparable with the reported value 306 m 2/g in literature.展开更多

The waterborne particles are in sub micron range with narrow size distribution. Transparent cured films could be formed from the dispersions even at ambient temperature. The stability of the dispersions could be enhanced by post polymerization at a high temperature for some time. The knowledge about the phase inversion and the stability of the waterborne dispersions might provide a new way to enhance oil recovery.展开更多
