Summary: This review assesses the promising strategies of using w/o/w multiple emulsion structures in ice creams, which can reduce the fat content without compromising the creamy taste and mouthfeel, and also encapsulate sensitive compounds. The use of natural food ingredients helps to stabilize the system and improve the nutritional value of ice creams. Future trends may focus on the stabilization of ice creams using Pickering particles.

Summary: Surfactant-modified starches prepared by reactive extrusion were used as stabilizers for olive oil-in-water Pickering emulsions. Among the starches considered, octenyl succinic anhydride rice starch exhibited the best characteristics for improving emulsification and digestibility. On the other hand, waxy maize starch phosphate was identified as an ideal wall material for spray drying to enhance oil stability and reduce digestibility.

Summary: This study compared the properties of disintegrated bacterial cellulose before and after freeze-drying, as well as its nanocrystals obtained using H2SO4 under different time and concentration conditions. The results showed that nanocrystals obtained with 30% acid had a similar structure to the parent cellulose, while nanocrystals obtained with 65% acid showed allomorphic transformation and cellulose sulfates formation. Nanocrystals obtained with 30% acid, as well as native bacterial cellulose, ensured the high stability of O/W emulsion containing up to 20% olive oil due to their strong surface charge density from negatively charged sulfate groups.

Summary: We developed a simple method to produce stable oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) double emulsions using biocompatible gliadin/ethyl cellulose complex particles as the sole stabilizer. The resulting O/W/O systems have potential applications in encapsulating enzymes and synthesizing porous microspheres. The encapsulated enzymes showed high recyclability and the system can be used as a template for controlling the size of porous microspheres. These findings have important implications for the future design of Pickering complex emulsion-based systems in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, material synthesis, and (bio)catalysis.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of surface charge density of bacterial cellulose nanofibrils on the rheological characteristics of O/W Pickering emulsions. It was found that higher charge density resulted in increased viscosity and elasticity of the emulsions. pH and ionic strength also influenced the rheological properties, with lower pH leading to higher viscosity and higher pH resulting in lower viscosity.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Summary: This research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
