Abstract
Pickering particles can self-assemble to form a rigid barrier film at the oil-water interface, effectively inhibiting droplet aggregation and stabilizing the emulsion. This essay explores the potential of Zein/TOCNF (TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber) complex aqueous dispersion as an environmentally friendly, nontoxic, versatile, and inexpensive cleaning agent based on the Pickering effect. The Zein/TOCNF complex exhibited an improvement in its surface hydrophobicity compared to that of pure TOCNF, so that it could be used as Pickering emulsion stabilizers. The Zein/TOCNF complex has better washing ability than the washing powder for the removal of the dirt from the cotton cloth, the glass, the stainless steel, the ceramic, and the plastic sheet. In addition, residual amounts of Zein/TOCNF complexes on the fabric were insignificant. Moreover, research results have shown that Zein/TOCNF complexes are feasible as a secure, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative to commercial washing cleaners.
期刊介绍：
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
