Stabilization of water/n‐hexane emulsions by amphiphilic copolymers based on vinyl ethers and their polycomplexes with poly(acrylic acid)

Abstract: Amphiphilic random copolymers based on vinyl ether of ethylene glycol and vinyl butyl ether as well as their polycomplexes with poly(acrylic acid) were studied as polymeric reagents for the stabilization of water/n-hexane emulsions. The emulsion stability strongly depended on the content of vinyl butyl ether in the copolymers as well as their concentration in solution. The more hydrophobic copolymers stabilized emulsions more efficiently. An increase in the temperature and the addition of inorganic salts reduc… Show more

“…A review of the works conducted by V.V. Khutoryansky and colleagues [ 56 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 ] focused on the development of hydrophilic and hydrophobic films using combinations of polycarboxylic acids, polysaccharides, and various nonionic polymers. These multilayer materials composed of synthetic polymers and natural nonionic polysaccharides have gained considerable interest due to their excellent biocompatibility and potential biomedical applications.…”

“…19 Despite their random architecture, and thus lack of distinct blocks of different hydrophilicity, random amphiphilic copolymers based on vinyl ethers were also reported for emulsion stabilization. 23 Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic water-soluble polymer, which is often used as thickener 24 and emulsifier. 25,26 HPMC is a synthetic modification of the natural polymer cellulose, with hydroxypropyl and methyl substitutions on the glucose monomer, 24,27 and it is FDA approved to be used as both direct and indirect food additive, thus confirming its safe use.…”

“…In particular, water-soluble polymers exhibiting lower critical solution temperature (LCST) are among the most interesting stimuli-sensitive materials due to numerous potential applications in controlled release systems [1], biotechnology [2], separation and enrichment technologies [3], and stabilization of colloids [4]. Pursuing these applications requires precise control over the properties of stimuli-responsive materials.…”
