Preparation of highly dispersed and concentrated aqueous suspensions of nanodiamonds using novel diblock dispersants.
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science 2018 June 16
HYPOTHESIS: Finding an efficient dispersant for obtaining a good dispersion of 5-nm detonation nanodiamond (DND) is always a challenge. Two newly designed diblock copolymers, both poly(ammonium methacrylate)-block-poly(2-phenoxyethyl acrylate) (PMA-b-PBEA) but with different molar ratios of PMA to PBEA, were proposed to be efficient dispersants in stabilizing the concentrated aqueous suspensions of DND.
EXPERIMENTS: The dispersion efficiency of dispersants for DND in aqueous suspensions was studied by the measurements of particle size, sedimentation property, and rheological behavior. The interactions between the added dispersants and DND were identified by the zeta potential and adsorption analyses. Calculations based on Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory were conducted for clarifying the dominant parameters relating to the dispersion efficiency of dispersants.
FINDINGS: Compared with the commercially popular dispersant ammonium polyacrylate, these two diblock dispersants exhibited superior efficiency in the stabilization of DND suspensions. Using the diblock copolymers as dispersants, good dispersion stability in a DND suspension with an extremely high solid content of 30 wt% was achieved. According to experimental analyses and based on DLVO calculations, a low number of accompanied counter-ions, high adsorption capability, and thick PMA-b-PBEA adsorption layer are the main reasons for the extremely high dispersion efficiency of the two new dispersants.
