Microemulsion Synthesis of Nanosized Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate and Its Morphology Control by Different Surfactants.

ABSTRACT: Calcium sulfate hemihydrate with different structures and morphologies has a broad scope of applications. Herein, we reported a strategy for nanosized calcium sulfate through room-temperature microemulsion by using calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid. After characterizations, it was indicated that the morphology of calcium sulfate products fabricated could be changed and controlled using different surfactants TritonX-114, SDBS, and CTAB by the microemulsion method. The method demonstrated in this work would be a benefit for the synthesis of nanomaterials with special structures in the future.

One-Step Synthesis of Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate Nanofibers from Calcite at Room Temperature.

Project description:In recent years, researchers have made significant progress in the development of inorganic nanofibers (including nanowires). Typically, inorganic nanofibers are synthesized via crystal growth in solution; however, a limited number of studies have focused on their preparation directly from solid raw materials (with no examples of synthesis conducted at room temperature and atmospheric pressure). In this work, we successfully synthesized nanofibers of calcium sulfate hemihydrate (bassanite, CaSO4·0.5H2O) at 20 °C and 1 atm by mixing calcite and dilute sulfuric acid in methanol. The bassanite nanofibers are concluded to be synthesized by the formation of calcium sulfate on the calcite surface and its simultaneous reaction with the generated H2O. Because bassanite exhibits useful physical properties that include high mechanical strength, high thermal stability, and excellent chemical stability, its nanofibers can be widely applied to rubber, plastics, antifriction materials, and paper as a strengthening agent, for heat-resistance, or as a flame retardant, or for creep resistance.

Evaluation of bioabsorbable calcium sulfate hemihydrate beads for local delivery of carboplatin.

Project description:The objectives of this study were to evaluate a novel kit of resorbable calcium sulfate beads marketed specifically for use in veterinary medicine and generally used for local delivery of antimicrobials as carboplatin-delivery system. The study characterized the elution of carboplatin in vitro, and investigated whether the initial dose and formulation of carboplatin, or the bead size significantly influences carboplatin elution in vitro. Calcium sulfate hemihydrate beads of 3- and 5-mm diameter were prepared. Five doses and two formulations of carboplatin (20, 50, 100, and 500 mg carboplatin per kit in powder formulation; 20 mg in liquid formulation) were tested in triplicates for each diameter beads. Beads were placed in 37°C phosphate buffered saline for 72 hours. Carboplatin concentrations in the eluent were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography at 11 time points with a modified United States Pharmacopeia assay. Concentrations of carboplatin in the eluent proportionally increased with the initial dose and peaked between 13 and 52 hours, ranging from 42.1% to 79.3% of the incorporated load. Higher peak concentrations, percentages released, and elution rates were observed with the liquid formulation and with higher carboplatin doses. There was no significant difference in maximum carboplatin concentrations between 3- and 5-mm diameter beads, but 5-mm diameter beads had slower elution rates. The novel kit can be used for preparation of carboplatin-impregnated resorbable calcium sulfate beads at variable doses, sizes and formulations. Further study is warranted to define the in vivo requirements and effective carboplatin dose, spatial diffusion and desired duration of elution.

A kinetic and mechanistic study into the transformation of calcium sulfate hemihydrate to dihydrate.

Project description:The conversion of CaSO4·0.5H2O to CaSO4·2H2O is of great importance industrially, being the reaction behind plasterboard production and the setting of medical plasters. A detailed kinetic and mechanistic study of this process was conducted using time-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction in this work. The CaSO4·2H2O product is very similar regardless of whether the α- or β-form of CaSO4·0.5H2O is used as the starting material, but the reaction process is very different. The induction time is usually shorter for α-CaSO4·0.5H2O than β-CaSO4·0.5H2O, and a greater conversion percentage is observed with the former (although in neither case does the reaction proceed to 100% completion). The temperature of the system, widely used in industry as an indirect measure of the extent of the hydration process, is found to be a poor proxy for this, with the maximum temperature reached well before the reaction is complete. The Avrami-Erofe'ev and Gualtieri models could both be fitted to the experimental data, with the fits being substantially closer in the case of α-CaSO4·0.5H2O. The rate of reaction in the Avrami model tends to increase with the amount of gypsum seeds added to accelerate the process, and the importance of nucleation declines. The Gualtieri analysis suggested that the rate of nucleation increases substantially with the amount of seeds added, while there are less distinct changes in the rate of crystal growth. At low seed concentrations (<0.5% w/w) the rate of crystal growth is greater than the rate of nucleation, but at concentrations above 0.5% w/w nucleation is faster. These findings represent the first synchrotron study of the conversion of CaSO4·0.5H2O to CaSO4·2H2O, and will be of importance to gypsum producers globally.

Strontium Modified Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate Scaffold Incorporating Ginsenoside Rg1/Gelatin Microspheres for Bone Regeneration.

Project description:The aim of this study was to prepare a promising biomaterial for bone tissue repair and regeneration. The Strontium - calcium sulfate hemihydrate (Sr-α-CaS) scaffold incorporating gelatin microspheres (GMs) encapsulated with Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) was designed. The scaffolds of Rg1/GMs/Sr-α-CaS showed sustained release of Rg1, good biocompatibility and ability of promoting osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis in vitro. The scaffolds were implanted into animal model of cranial bone defect to characterize bone tissue repair and regeneration in vivo. From the images of Micro-CT, it was obvious that the most bone tissue was formed in Rg1/GMs/Sr-α-CaS group in 12 weeks. New bone structure, collagen and mineralization were analyzed with staining of HE, Masson and Safranin O-Fast green and showed good distribution. The expression of osteocalcin of Rg1/GMs/Sr-α-CaS indicated new bone formation in defect site. The results revealed that synergy of Rg1 and Sr showed the best effect of bone repair and regeneration, which provided a new candidate for bone defect repair in clinic.

Structural control of polyelectrolyte/microemulsion droplet complexes (PEMECs) with different polyacrylates.

Project description:The ionic assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes (PESCs) is often done with the aim of constructing more functional colloids, for instance as advanced delivery systems. However, PESCs are often not easily loaded with a solubilisate due to intrinsic restrictions of such complexes. This question was addressed from a different starting point: by employing microemulsion droplets as heavily loaded surfactant systems and thereby avoiding potential solubilisation limitations from the beginning. We investigated mixtures of cationic oil-in-water (O/W) microemulsion droplets and oppositely charged sodium polyacrylate (NaPA) and determined structure and phase behaviour as a function of the mixing ratio for different droplet sizes and different M w (NaPA). Around an equimolar charge ratio an extended precipitate region is present, which becomes wider for larger droplets and with increasing M w of the NaPA. Static and dynamic light scattering (SLS and DLS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) show the formation of one-dimensional arrangements of microemulsion droplets for polyelectrolyte excess, which become more elongated with increasing M w (NaPA) and less so with increasing NaPA excess. What is interesting is a marked sensitivity to ionic strength, where already a modest increase to ∼20 mM leads to a dissolution of the complexes. This work shows that polyelectrolyte/microemulsion complexes (PEMECs) are structurally very versatile hybrid systems, combining the high solubilisate loading of microemulsions with the larger-scale structuring induced by the polymer, thereby markedly extending the concept of conventional PESCs. This type of system has not been described before and is highly promising for future applications where high payloads are to be formulated.

Tailoring morphology of cobalt-nickel layered double hydroxide via different surfactants for high-performance supercapacitor.

Project description:Tailoring the morphology of cobalt-nickel layered double hydroxide (LDH) electrode material was successfully achieved via the process of cathodic electrodeposition by adding different surfactants (hexamethylenetetramine, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide). The as-prepared Co0.75Ni0.25(OH)2 samples with surfactants exhibited wrinkle-like, cauliflower-like or net-like structures that corresponded to better electrochemical performances than the untreated one. In particular, a specific capacitance of 1209.1 F g-1 was found for the cauliflower-like Co0.75Ni0.25(OH)2 electrode material using DTAB as the surfactant at a current density of 1 A g-1, whose structure boosted ion diffusion to present a good rate ability of 64% with a 50-fold increase in current density from 1 A g-1 to 50 A g-1. Accordingly, the asymmetric supercapacitor assembled by current LDH electrode and activated carbon electrode showed an energy density as high as 21.3 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 3625 W kg-1. The relationship between surfactant and electrochemical performance of the LDH electrode materials has been discussed.

Synthesis and characterization of emamectin-benzoate slow-release microspheres with different surfactants.

Project description:Pesticide slow-release formulations provide a way to increase the efficiency of active components by reducing the amount of pesticide that needs to be applied. Slow-release formulations also increase the stability and prolong the control effect of photosensitive pesticides. Surfactants are an indispensable part of pesticide formulations, and the choice of surfactant can strongly affect formulation performance. In this study, emamectin-benzoate (EMB) slow-release microspheres were prepared by the microemulsion polymerization method. We explored the effect of different surfactants on the particle size and dispersity of EMB in slow-release microspheres. The results indicated that the samples had uniform spherical shapes with an average diameter of 320.5?±5.24 nm and good dispersity in the optimal formulation with the polymeric stabilizer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and composite non-ionic surfactant polyoxyethylene castor oil (EL-?40). The optimal EMB pesticide slow-release microspheres had excellent anti-photolysis performance, stability, controlled release properties, and good leaf distribution. These results demonstrated that EMB slow-release microspheres are an attractive candidate for improving pesticide efficacy and prolonging the control effect of EMB in the environment.

Sweet surfactants: packing parameter-invariant amphiphiles as emulsifiers and capping agents for morphology control of inorganic particles.

Project description:Surfactants are not only pivotal constituents in any biological organism in the form of phospholipids, they are also essential for numerous applications benefiting from a large, internal surface, such as in detergents, for emulsification purposes, phase transfer catalysis or even nanoparticle stabilization. A particularly interesting, green class of surfactants contains glycoside head groups. Considering the variability of glycosides, a large number of surfactant isomers become accessible. According to established models in surfactant science such as the packing parameter or the hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB), they do not differ from each other and should, thus, have similar properties. Here, we present the preparation of a systematic set of glycoside surfactants and in particular isomers. We investigate to which extent they differ in several key features such as critical aggregation concentration, thermodynamic parameters, etc. Analytical methods like isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), tensiometry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), small angle-X-ray scattering (SAXS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and others were applied. It was found that glycosurfactant isomers vary in their emulsification properties by up to two orders of magnitude. Finally, we have investigated the role of the surfactants in a microemulsion-based technique for the generation of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. We found that the choice of the carbohydrate head has a marked effect on the shape of the formed inorganic nanocrystals.

Role of Anionic Surfactants in the Synthesis of Smart Microgels Based on Different Acrylamides.

Project description:We investigated the influence of two anionic surfactants, namely, sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium decyl sulfate, on acrylamide-based microgels consisting of N-n-propylacrylamide. In this context, the main focus was on the influence of surfactant addition on the size of the microgels. The surfactant was added to the reaction mixture before or during the polymerization at different points in time. Microgels were characterized via photon correlation spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. All results were compared to those for other more common acrylamide-based microgels consisting of N-isopropylacrylamide and N-isopropylmethacrylamide. A significant difference between the three microgels and a strong dependence on the surface activity of the surfactant was found.

Reverse Microemulsion-Based Synthesis of (Bis)phosphonate-Metal Materials with Controllable Physical Properties: An Example Using Zoledronic Acid-Calcium Complexes.

Project description:The development of phosphonate-metal materials is tightly related to the advancement in their synthesis methods. Herein, using zoledronic acid (Zol), a bisphosphonate (bioacitve phosphonate with a "P-C-P" structure), and calcium as model molecules, we applied the reverse microemulsion (RM) method to synthesize a series of Zol-Ca complexes. We comprehensively (i) studied the relationship between RM conditions, including the component ratio of RM, cosurfactants, reaction time, reactant concentration, reaction temperature, and the presence of a phospholipid, 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate acid (DOPA), and the physical properties of the complexes synthesized (i.e., shape, size, uniformity, monodispersity, and hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity) and (ii) explored the underlying mechanisms. To evaluate the biomedical application potential of the Zol-Ca complexes synthesized, one type of hydrophobic, DOPA-coated spherical Zol-Ca complexes (denoted as Zol-Ca@DOPA) was formulated into a PEGylated lipid-based nanoparticle formulation (i.e., Zol-Ca@bilipid NPs, ∼24 nm in diameter). In a mouse model with orthotopic mammary tumors, the Zol-Ca@bilipid NPs significantly enhanced the distribution of Zol in tumors, as compared to free Zol. It is expected that the RM-based synthesis of (bis)phosphonate-metal materials with controllable physical properties will help expand their applications.
