Pickering emulsions possess many advantages over traditional surfactant stabilized emulsions. For example, Pickering emulsions impart better stability against coalescence and, in many cases, are biologically compatible and environmentally friendly. These characteristics open the door for their use in a variety of industries spanning petroleum, food, biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Depending on the application, rapid, but controlled stabilization and destabilization of an emulsion may be necessary. As a result, Pickering emulsions with stimuli-responsive properties have, in recent years, received a considerable amounts of attention. This paper provides a concise and comprehensive review of Pickering emulsion systems that possess the ability to respond to an array of external triggers, including pH, temperature, CO2 concentration, light intensity, ionic strength, and magnetic field. Potential applications for which stimuli-responsive Pickering emulsion systems would be of particular value, such as emulsion polymerization, enhanced oil recovery, catalyst recovery, and cosmetics, are discussed.

The use of polyurethane for structural and infrastructural engineering applications: A state-of-the-art review

Castor oil, produced from castor beans, has long been considered to be of important commercial value primarily for the manufacturing of soaps, lubricants, and coatings, among others. Global castor oil production is concentrated primarily in a small geographic region of Gujarat in Western India. This region is favorable due to its labor-intensive cultivation method and subtropical climate conditions. Entrepreneurs and castor processors in the United States and South America also cultivate castor beans but are faced with the challenge of achieving high castor oil production efficiency, as well as obtaining the desired oil quality. In this manuscript, we provide a detailed analysis of novel processing methods involved in castor oil production. We discuss novel processing methods by explaining specific processing parameters involved in castor oil production.

Damping analysis of polyurethane/epoxy graft interpenetrating polymer network composites filled with short carbon fiber and micro hollow glass bead

The polymer-grafted magnetic composite particles have been synthesized and developed to harvest oil by use of their speical wettability. Different from gravity-driven oil–water separation, the prepared polymer brushes-grafted magnetic composite particles can act as solid-stabilizers that diffuse to the oil–water interfical region and effectively minimize the direct oil–water interfical area by volume exclusion, whereas the magnetic Fe3O4 core allows easy separation of Pickering emulsions from oil–water mixture under an external magnetic field. When the emulsions were heated from room temperature to 50 °C, the coil-to-globule transition of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) acts as the driving force for the destabilization of the emulsion, thereby achieving the release of oil. The novel materials can be used in aspects of oil–water separation, inducing oil droplet transport and release of lipophilic substrates.

Stimuli-Responsive Composite Particles as Solid-Stabilizers for Effective Oil Harvesting

Damping, thermal, and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes modified castor oil-based polyurethane/epoxy interpenetrating polymer network composites

A series of graft interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were prepared from epoxy (EP) and castor oil-based polyurethane (PU). The dynamic me- chanical properties, as well as the tensile and impact strength, of the IPNs were studied systematically. Results revealed that PU/EP IPNs showed improved damping properties compared with that of EP matrix. In addition, the PU content and testing frequencies had much influ- ence on the damping properties of the IPNs. The IPN composites showed better damping properties with higher PU content or under higher testing frequencies. Mechanical analysis showed that the tensile strength of IPN composites was higher than that of pure EP. How- ever, higher PU content (beyond 5 wt %) impaired the impact strength of the IPNs. It is expected that PU/EP IPNs may be potentially used as structural damping materials. V C 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 118: 1144-1151, 2010
