- magnesium oxide nanoparticles were individually coated with from 1-20% by weight of a hydrocarbon-based surfactant. This was accomplished by adding the magnesium oxide nanoparticles and the desired surfactant to a 250 mL, stoppered Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a stir bar and containing 50 mL of hexanes. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 hours followed by centrifuging and drying in an oven 110°C for one hour. The resulting samples were characterized by BET and XRD. The BET multi-point surface area was determined using N 2 adsorption at liquid N 2 temperature to measure the surface area/unit mass.

- the surfactant-treated nanoparticles were tested for their ability to destructively adsorb paraoxon.
- 9 ⁇ L of paraoxon was added to a flask containing 200 mL of pentane followed by 0.2 g of the sample.
- the disappearance of the paraoxon was monitored using UN/Vis spectroscopy by taking scans for 60 minutes in 1 and 5 minute increments.
- the disappearance of paraoxon was plotted as a function of time. Paraoxon exhibits a distinct band around 265-270 nm, and a higher adsorbance reflected larger amounts of free, unadsorbed paraoxon.
- the surfactant-treated magnesium oxide nanoparticles showed high chemical reactivity with paraoxon (see Fig. 4). Thus, surfactant-treated magnesium oxide nanoparticles behaved very similar to the uncoated samples. However, the surfactant-coated, humidified samples where less reactive with paraoxon than uncoated, humidified magnesium oxide samples (see Fig. 5). Thus, the conclusion drawn was that the use of a surfactant coating did provide an advantage in that it reduced weight gain upon humidity exposure, but increased reactivity was not seen in these samples when allowed a paraoxon contact time of 1 hour.
- FIG. 9 and 10 illustrate 31 P NMR analyses of samples of both uncoated and coated magnesium oxide nanoparticles/paraoxon mixtures before and after humidity exposure.
- Paraoxon in deutero chloroform solvent exhibits a signal around ⁇ -6.5 ppm, and the product derived via complete hydrolysis of paraoxon, the phosphate ion (PO 4 3" ), shows a signal around 0 ppm.
- the uncoated sample appeared to react immediately with paraoxon and continued to react over the 20 hour analysis time.
- the uncoated sample shows only the signal due to free paraoxon confirming that it has lost reactivity.
- the mineral oil (50 weight %) coated samples reacted essentially similar to the uncoated dry magnesium oxide nanoparticles (Fig. 10). This is true of the mineral oil coated samples both prior to and after humidity exposure. This clearly indicates that the mineral oil coating offers superior protection from humidity effects without reducing the reactivity of the nanoparticles.
- Magnesium oxide nanoparticles coated with silicone oil and magnesium oxide particles coated with a modified silicone oil derivative (SAG 47, obtained from Crompton Corporation) were prepared following the procedure described in Part 1 of this example.
- Figs. 11 and 12 set forth the data on the nanoparticles coated with silicone oil, while Figs. 13 and 14 show the results for the nanoparticles coated with the modified silicone oil derivative.
- EXAMPLE 4 Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles Coated With Wax
- magnesium oxide nanoparticles were coated with one of three different waxes: paraffin wax; carnauba wax; and a polyethylene-based wax derived via polymerization of ethylene.
- the particles were coated by mixing 2 g of magnesium oxide nanoparticles with the particular wax (10%, 25%, or 50% by weight, based upon the nanoparticles taken as 100% by weight) in a bealcer with a spatula followed by placing the mixture in a hot oil bath (100-110 °C for the lower melting waxes and 145- 150°C for the higher melting waxes) for 5-7 minutes with stirring.
- a hot oil bath 100-110 °C for the lower melting waxes and 145- 150°C for the higher melting waxes
- Figures 16 and 17 illustrate that paraffin wax provides a barrier of protection for the magnesium oxide particles. Furthermore, it can be seen that the 50 weight % coated samples were able to adsorb paraoxon completely, both before and after humidity exposure.
- Figs. 18 and 19 illustrate that increasing the amount of wax correspondingly increased protection against air exposure and resulted in lower weight gain upon humidifying. Furthermore, both samples coated with 50 weight % carnauba wax reacted comparably and completely with paraoxon both before and after humidity exposure.
- Figures 20 and 21 show that the polyethylene wax also provided a barrier of protection from humidity for the magnesium oxide nanoparticles. Both the 25 and 50 weight % coated samples were able to absorb paraoxon completely, before as well as after humidity exposure. Thus, this concluded that a wide variety of waxes would be suitable coating materials for magnesium oxide nanoparticles.
- EXAMPLE 5 Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticles Modified by Silyl Reagents Magnesium oxide nanoparticle surfaces were chemically modified with a silane coupling reagent. This was accomplished by placing 100 mL of 95% aqueous ethanol solution, 6 drops of acetic acid, and the desired amount of w-octyl trimethoxysilane in a stoppered Erlenmeyer flask. The amounts of n-octyl trimethoxysilane were varied from 2-100% by weight, based upon the weight of magnesium oxide nanoparticles used.
- Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were modified by ⁇ -octyl trimethoxysilane using a dry procedure wherein 3 g of the magnesium oxide nanoparticles where mixed with 0.75 g of n-octyl trimethoxysilane in a plastic cylindrical container. Mixing was carried out with a Dispermat mixer (approximately 600 rpm for 1 minute), followed by mixing with a spatula, and further mixing with the Dispermat mixer (approximately 800 rpm for 1 minute). The resultant sample was cured at 100° C for half an hour. Samples of the modified nanoparticles were then coated with 10% by weight and 25% by weight, respectively, of mineral oil. As shown in Fig.
- Table 5 summarizes the results of paraoxon (4.5 ⁇ L) adsorption with various membrane samples in 100 mL of pentane solvent.
- Entry 1 the silicone membrane by itself does not adsorb paraoxon while membranes containing nanoparticles adsorb paraoxon gradually over a period of 28 hours.
- Humidity exposure appeared to slow down the paraoxon adsorption as shown by comparing Entry 4 to Entries 2 and 3, and Entry 7 to Entries 5 and 6, respectively.
- mineral oil coated samples appear to adsorb paraoxon more rapidly and completely both before and after humidity exposure.
- Entry 1 contains no AP-MgO.
- Entries 2-4 were made with silicone (2.81 g) and AP-MgO (0.4 g).
- Entries 5-7 were made with silicone (3.05 g) and AP-MgO (0.4 g).
- Entries 8-10 were made with silicone (3.02 g) and 50 wt.% mineral oil coated AP-MgO (0.6 g).
