Uniform nano BaSO4 quasispheres were prepared by precipitation reaction with barium chloride and sodium sulfate as raw materials in reverse microemulsion composed of aqueous solution/TritonX-100/n-hexanol/cyclohexane. The product was characterized by XRD (X-ray diffraction)
SEM (scanning electron microscope)
TEM (transmission electron microscope) and FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). The effects of three reaction modes
[H2O]/[Triton X-100] molar ratio (R)
reactant concentration and[co-surfactants]/[surfactants] molar ratio (P) on the size and morphology of BaSO4 quasispheres were investigated. At the same time
the effects of the R on the size and size distribution of micro-emulsion droplets were investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results show that under room temperature
using double microemulsion method
R=17.97
P between 2.11-4.22 is the best reaction condition for the synthesis of BaSO4 quasispheres
and the reactant concentration had little effect on the size and morphology of BaSO4 quasispheres. Under the reaction conditions
