The Origin of Amphipathic Nature of Short and Thin Pristine Carbon Nanotubes—Fully Recyclable 1D Water‐in‐Oil Emulsion Stabilizers

Abstract: Short and thin pristine carbon nanotubes (CNTs) emerge as 1D emulsion stabilizers capable of replacing aquatoxic low‐molecular surfactants. However, inconsistencies in understanding of water–solid interfaces for realistic CNTs hamper their individualization‐driven functionalities, processability in benign media, and compatibility with a broad‐scale of matrices. Pristine CNT processing based on water and inexpensive n‐alkanes within a low energy regime would constitute an important step toward greener technolog… Show more

“…Unfortunately, Al2O3 is characterised by high hardness, and its presence, even on the nanoscale, may have a very negative impact on wear mechanisms in the contact zone [34]. Therefore, before the process of combining with the liquid phase, the MWCNTs were purified to remove Al2O3 [45]. SEM images of MWCNTs before and after purification are shown in Figure 1.…”

“…They are more cost-effective than surfactants as emulsifiers to reduce environmental impacts. In addition, due to their small size, nanoparticles can pass through smaller pores and narrow throats that cannot be reached by large-sized materials, such as SiO 2, , Fe 3 O 4, , TiO 2, Al 2 O 3, GO, , cellulose, , lignin, carbon nanotubes, etc. Jia et al successfully synthesized amphiphilic Janus-SiO 2 nanoparticles to obtain stable O/W/O Pickering emulsions, which showed excellent enhanced oil recovery of 27.2% in the core flooding test.…”
