Abstract:

The magnesium-iron hydrotalcite was modified by three nonionic surfactants (Span-20, Tween-80, Triton X-100) combined with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), respectively, and surface characterizations of modified hydrotalcites were investigated using inverse gas chromatography (IGC). The free energy of adsorption (-ΔG0), dispersive component of the surface energy (γsd) and acid-basic action free energy (-ΔGsp) were determined to explore the changes between MgFe-LDHs and modified hydrotalcites. The results show that the -ΔG0 of the modified hydrotalcites are lower than that of MgFe-LDHs, among which the -ΔG0 of the SDBS/Triton-LDHs is the lowest, indicating the best stability. The alkalinity of modifed hydrotalcites is weakened and the alkalinity of SDBS/Triton-LDHs is the weakest. In addition, the γsd decreases with temperature increase. Therefore, the compatibility with polymer can be improved by increasing the temperature in preparation of polymer/hydrotalcite materials.
