Unraveling Partial Coalescence Between Droplet and Oil-Water Interface in Water-in-Oil Emulsions under a Direct-Current Electric Field via Molecular Dynamics Simulation

When the electric field strength (E) surpasses a certain threshold, secondary droplets are generated during the coalescence between water droplets in oil and the oil-water interface (so-called the droplet-interface partial coalescence phenomenon), resulting in a lower efficiency of droplet electroco...

520 |a When the electric field strength (E) surpasses a certain threshold, secondary droplets are generated during the coalescence between water droplets in oil and the oil-water interface (so-called the droplet-interface partial coalescence phenomenon), resulting in a lower efficiency of droplet electrocoalescence. This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the droplet-interface partial coalescence phenomenon under direct current (DC) electric fields. The results demonstrate that intermolecular interactions, particularly the formation of hydrogen bonds, play a crucial role in dipole-dipole coalescence. Droplet-interface partial coalescence is categorized into five regimes based on droplet morphology. During the contact and fusion of the droplet with the water layer, the dipole moment of the droplet exhibits alternating increases and decreases along the electric field direction. Electric field forces acting on sodium ions and the internal interactions within droplets promote the process of droplet-interface partial coalescence. High field strengths cause significant elongation of the droplet, leading to its fragmentation into multiple segments. The migration of hydrated ions has a dual impact on the droplet-interface partial coalescence, with both facilitative and suppressive effects. The time required for droplet-interface partial coalescence initially decreases and subsequently increases as the field strength increases, depending on the competitive relationship between the extent of droplet stretching and the electric field force. This work provides molecular insights into the droplet-interface coalescence mechanisms in water-in-oil emulsions under DC electric fields
