Abstract

The feasibility of preparing energy-saturated salts (NH4NO3, KNO3, and NaBH4) in powders with various particle sizes in microemulsion systems based on oxyethylated surfactant Tergitol NP-4 has been demonstrated. Powders were isolated by destroying microemulsions with acetone. The regions of micellar synthesis have been determined depending on the solubilization capacities and concentrations of the reagents and salts at a fixed Tergitol NP-4 concentration (0.25 mol/L). The morphologies and particle sizes of the thus-prepared salt powders were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and thermogravimetry; the hydrodynamic radii of microemulsions were characterized by photon-correlation spectroscopy.
