OBTAINING AND PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF ANIONIC AQUEOUS EPOXY-DIAN OLIGOMER DISPERSIONS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The physicochemical properties of thermodynamically metastable systems, aqueous dispersions of hydrophobic epoxy oligomer based on bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin, have been studied. Anionic surfactants such as oleic acid and triethanolamine oleate were used as emulsifiers and stabilizers in an alkaline medium at pH = 11.5; surface tension isotherms for them were constructed and the colloidal-chemical characteristics at the liquid / gas interphase boundary were determined. The process of obtaining concentrated dispersions (dispersed phase content - 60 %) combined different types of action on two-phase mixtures of the dispersed phase and dispersion medium: 1) adsorption spontaneous emulsification at 65-75 0C of an aqueous solution of a surfactant and a mixture of an oligomer plasticized with epoxidized rapeseed oil; 2) dispersion using a rotor-stator device until a liquid homogeneous system of a milky white color was obtained. A study of their structural-rheological, dispersion and electrokinetic properties was conducted, and the microstructure and storage stability were visually assessed. It has been established that in order to obtain protective coatings based on stable film-forming dispersions it is most effective to use a more homogeneous and finely dispersed colloidal system, which contains oleic acid as an emulsifier with a concentration in the solution of 1.2 wt.%, characterized by the smallest median particle diameter and maximum specific surface area, stronger structural bonds, which contributes to a longer preservation of the aggregate stability of the dispersion. The results obtained may be of interest to specialists developing new water-dispersible materials and coatings based on them for the paint and varnish, construction, textile and petrochemical industries.
