This study investigates the synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and emulsifying performance of multifunctional polysiloxane modified with trimethoxysilane, eugenol and octane in varying molar ratios. The functionalized organosilicon compounds were synthesized by hydrosilylation and characterized using NMR, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis, and contact angle measurements. Their emulsifying properties were evaluated in oil-water emulsions, with stability assessed through centrifugation tests, multiple light scattering, and optical microscopy. The polysiloxane modified with trimethoxysilane: eugenol: octane with a 1:4:3 molar ratio exhibited the highest thermal stability. Emulsions formulated with this compound demonstrated superior physical stability, with backscattering destabilization rates as low as - 0.29%/day, attributed to enhanced interfacial interactions and hydrogen bonding. Emulsion containing polysiloxane modified only with eugenol and octane exhibited the lowest stability, with early phase separation observed after 1.5 h and backscattering rates reaching - 1.06%/day. These results highlight the critical role of silane functionalities in interfacial stabilization. These findings demonstrate the potential of structurally tailored polysiloxanes as advanced emulsifiers for applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other industries.
本研究考察了以不同摩尔比用三甲氧基硅烷、丁香酚和辛烷改性的多功能聚硅氧烷的合成、物理化学表征及乳化性能。通过硅氢加成反应合成了功能化有机硅化合物,并利用核磁共振(NMR)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、热重分析和接触角测量对其进行了表征。在油 - 水乳液中评估了它们的乳化性能,通过离心试验、多重光散射和光学显微镜对稳定性进行了评估。三甲氧基硅烷:丁香酚:辛烷摩尔比为1:4:3的改性聚硅氧烷表现出最高的热稳定性。用该化合物配制的乳液表现出优异的物理稳定性,反向散射失稳率低至 -0.29%/天,这归因于增强的界面相互作用和氢键作用。仅用丁香酚和辛烷改性的聚硅氧烷乳液表现出最低的稳定性,在1.5小时后观察到早期相分离,反向散射率达到 -1.06%/天。这些结果突出了硅烷官能团在界面稳定中的关键作用。这些发现证明了结构定制的聚硅氧烷作为高级乳化剂在化妆品、制药和其他行业应用中的潜力。
