Synthesis of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt nanoparticles in the lamellar liquid crystal and application to lubrication
The ethylenediamineteiraacetic acid disodium salt (C10H14N2O8Na2) nanoparticles were prepared by replacing water with 3 wt% C10H14N2O8Na2 aqueous solution in the lamellar liquid crystal (LLC) of the Triton X-100/n-C10H21OH/H2O system. The particle size is about 5-6 nm with relatively narrow distribution. The existing of the C10H14N2O8Na2 nanoparticles in the lamellar liquid crystal can improve the lubrication properties of the lamellar liquid crystal of Triton X-100/n-C10H21OH/H2O system.
