Abstract

In this study, we report a combined meso–microscale computational study of Pickering emulsions stabilized by sulfonated polystyrene-grafted silica nanoparticles for the glycerol/dodecanol system using dissipative particle dynamics. Different glycerol/dodecanol emulsification regimes could be ascertained as a function of the length of polystyrene brushes as well as the surface density, sulfonation degree, and distribution of sulfonic acid groups in the brushes, matching experimental results. Local nanomixing effects between glycerol and dodecanol could be clearly identified in the vicinity of the catalytic sulfonic acid groups, unraveling potential reactivity zones for etherification.
