Pickering emulsion was obtained by using octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (OTAC) in combination with nano SiO2
and linear polysiloxane (PDMS) was synthesized with D4 through ring-open polymerization under alkaline condition
and then cross-linking agent KH560 was added to prepare cationic water-based silicone rubber emulsion. The effects of SiO2 and OTAC contents on Pickering emulsion were investigated. The absorption behavior of OTAC on the surface of SiO2 was revealed by zeta potential
TEM and SEM. The structure of water-based silicone rubber was characterized with FT-IR
29Si NMR spectra. The effects of KH560 on the contact angle and Shore A hardness of the rubber film were also investigated. The emulsion possessed optimal liquidity and stability when w(SiO2)=2.0%. When w(OTAC)=1.75%
the absorption of OTAC reached saturation on the surface of SiO2
monomer conversion was about 89%
particle size was about 617 nm
zeta potential was close to zero
Mn and PDI for PDMS were 16036 and 1.485 respectively. When w(KH560)= 5.0%
PDMS hydrolyzed and condensed fully with KH560
and the obtained rubber film possessed optimal hydrophobicity and hardness.
