Pickering-Type Emulsions of ODSA Sizing Agent Stabilized by Nano-Montmorillonite and N-Dodecane

Abstract:

Octadecenylsuccinic anhydride (ODSA) is an internal sizing agent used to hydrophobize paper and paper board in the process of papermaking. Nano-montmorillonite (MMT) particles and n-dodecane were used as the stabilizer to prepare stable ODSA Pickering emulsions. The effects of pH value, particle concentration, hydrolysis resistance and paper sizing performance of the ODSA Pickering emulsions were investigated. It was found that the stability of ODSA emulsions first increased and then decreased as the pH value decreased. More stable oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion can be made using 10 vol.% n-dodecane. Particle concentration was linked to the formation of particle films at oil–water interface, with a required minimum particle concentration of 1.5 wt.%. Paper sizing degree analysis indicated that the ODSA Pickering emulsions show increased hydrolysis resistance and good sizing performance.
