Abstract: |
Molecular dynamics simulation was adopted to investigate the adsorption and assembly behavior of original and alkyl-modified SiO2 nanoparticles at oil/water interface. Some parameters, such as density distribution, interfacial thickness, and interfacial tension were analyzed. The simulation results show that the hydrophobicity of alkyl-modified nanoparticles is strengthened. This induces the nanoparticles transfer to the oil/water interface, which forms a dense assembled monolayer. Also, the alkyl-modified nanoparticles at oil/water interface can effectively reduce the interfacial tension and increase the carrying capability of water phase to oil phase. |
