Radiation Induced Formation of Acrylated Palm Oil (APO) Nanoparticles Using Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide Microemulsion System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, we report the preparation of Acrylated Palm Oil (APO) nanoparticles using aqueous Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) microemulsion system. This microemulsion system which contains the dispersed APO nanodroplets was subjected to the gamma irradiation to induce the formation of the crosslinked APO nanoparticles. The dynamic light scattering (DLS), the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrocospy and the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the size and the chemical structure of the nanoparticle. Sized of the APO nanoor microparticle can be varied depended on the volumes of the modified palm oil and the irradiation doses. Their size is in the range of 73 to 100 nanometer (nm) after irradiation using gamma irradiator. This radiation-induced method provides a free initiator induced and easy to control process as compared to the classical or chemical initiator process.
