Estudio reológico de diferentes rutas de formación de geles y sus condiciones

Abstract

Este proyecto tiene como objetivo hacer un estudio reológico de los geles formados con sílice pirógena, especialmente en el contexto de aplicaciones de difusión de sustancias volátiles. Se han examinado diversas formulaciones con variaciones en las cantidades de Aerosil 200 entre el 5% y el 9% w/w, centrando la investigación en tres disolventes de naturalezas distintas muy utilizados en la industria de los ambientadores e insecticidas: una isoparafina (Isopar V fluid), un éster (miristato de isopropilo) y un éter (éter dimetílico del dipropilenglicol). Los ensayos reológicos rotacionales y oscilatorios se llevan a cabo para explorar el comportamiento viscoelástico de estos geles en las regiones de baja deformación (SAOS) y alta deformación (LAOS). Se determina que los geles exhiben un comportamiento de adelgazamiento por cizalladura, con respuestas de tipo I en el caso del éter dimetílico del dipropilenglicol y de tipo III en los casos del Isopar V fluid y el miristato de isopropilo. Se logra determinar la estabilidad y el fenómeno de tixotropía de los geles mediante la región viscoelástica lineal (LVER), a pesar de que los datos recopilados no se ajustan al modelo de Krieger y Dougherty ni al modelo fractal. La observación de todos estos fenómenos en conjunto reafirma la complejidad de las interacciones dentro de la estructura del gel con base de sílice pirógena. Adicionalmente, se presentan los costes asociados al desarrollo del proyecto junto con el impacto ambiental generado. Estos factores son fundamentales para orientar la evolución futura de este proyecto.

Aquest projecte té com a objectiu realitzar un estudi reològic dels gels formats amb sílice pirògena, especialment en el context d'aplicacions de difusió de substàncies volàtils. S'han examinat diverses formulacions amb variacions en les quantitats d'Aerosil 200 entre el 5% i el 9% w/w, centrant la investigació en tres dissolvents de naturaleses diferents molt utilitzats a la indústria dels ambientadors i insecticides: una isoparafina (Isopar V fluid), un èster (miristat d'isopropil) i un èter (èter dimetílic de dipropilenglicol). Els assaigs reològics rotacionals i oscil·latoris es duen a terme per explorar el comportament viscoelàstic d'aquests gels en les regions de baixa deformació (SAOS) i alta deformació (LAOS). Es determina que els gels mostren un comportament d'aprimament per cisalla, amb respostes de tipus I en el cas de l'èter dimetílic de dipropilenglicol i de tipus III en els casos de l'Isopar V fluid i el miristat d'isopropil. S'aconsegueix determinar l'estabilitat i el fenomen de tixotropia dels gels mitjançant la regió viscoelàstica lineal (LVER), malgrat que les dades recopilades no s'ajustin al model de Krieger i Dougherty ni al model fractal. L'observació de tots aquests fenòmens de manera conjunta reafirma la complexitat de les interaccions dins de l'estructura del gel amb base de sílice pirògena. Addicionalment, es presenten els costos associats al desenvolupament del projecte juntament amb l'impacte ambiental generat. Aquests factors són fonamentals per orientar l'evolució futura d'aquest projecte.

This project aims to perform a rheological study of gels formed with fumed silica, especially in the context of applications involving the diffusion of volatile substances. Various formulations with variations in the amounts of Aerosil 200 between 5% and 9% w/w have been examined, focusing the research on three solvents of different natures widely used in the air freshener and insecticide industry: an isoparaffin (Isopar V fluid), an ester (isopropyl myristate), and an ether (dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether). Rotational and oscillatory rheological tests are carried out to explore the viscoelastic behavior of these gels in regions of low strain (SAOS) and high strain (LAOS). It is determined that the gels exhibit shear-thinning behavior, with type I responses in the case of dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether and type III responses in the cases of Isopar V fluid and isopropyl myristate. The stability and thixotropic phenomenon of the gels are successfully determined through the linear viscoelastic region (LVER), despite the collected data not fitting the Krieger and Dougherty model or the fractal model. The observation of all these phenomena together reaffirms the complexity of interactions within the structure of the fumed silica-based gel. Additionally, the costs associated with the project development are presented along with the environmental impact generated. These factors are crucial to guide the future evolution of this project.
