Summary: Prevention of runaway reactions is a crucial goal in process safety engineering, with a lack of knowledge about autocatalytic reactions hindering the design of safer processes. This study aimed to accurately predict the induction period of an autocatalytic reaction system involving nitric acid and formic acid. Results indicated that exothermic reactions began when the concentration of nitrous acid, identified as the autocatalyst, exceeded 4.6 mmol L-1.

Summary: Reverse poloxamines are important building blocks that can be assembled into useful biocompatible microstructures by saccharide excipients. Glucose and sucrose have a positive effect on the micellization of reverse poloxamines, with sucrose being more favorable. Furthermore, pH conditions can convert the micelles from nonionic to cationic, opening new opportunities for controlled assembly and clustering of reverse poloxamines.

Summary: This study investigates the pharmacokinetics of nanomaterials in the eyes of rats and rabbits. The impact of particle size and shape on ocular distribution and elimination was examined using various imaging techniques. The results show that differently sized particles have different retention times and elimination rates, suggesting that factors other than size also play a role in their kinetics. The study also demonstrates the importance of synchronized particle retention and drug release rate for efficient drug delivery.

Summary: This paper presents an experimental study on the displacement of oil by water in a nano-scale glass channel. Three surfactants were examined and the results showed that only AOT could cause oil displacement within 12 hours. This study suggests that surfactants enhance the transport of water through oil, aiding in oil recovery.

Summary: This paper introduces a framework of the closest point projection method (CPPM) based on the unified hardening (UH) model. The UH model is simplified and an algorithm combining the exact elastic property and the spatially mobilized plane (SMP) strength criterion is proposed for numerical implementation. The accuracy, robustness, and efficiency of the integration scheme are demonstrated through numerical examples.

Summary: This study investigated the rheological behaviors and self-assembled structures of lecithin wormlike micelles induced by LiCl, CaCl2, and LaCl3 in cyclohexane. The decrease in viscosity was found to be accompanied by a shortening in micelle length, which was attributed to the movement of excess inorganic salts altering the effective molecular geometry. The study suggested that the binding sites of inorganic salts in lecithin headgroups play a key role in determining the self-assembled structures of lecithin reverse micelles.

Summary: Despite advances in small molecule drug encapsulation, encapsulating proteins remains problematic. This study investigates a reverse micelle system as a platform for storage and delivery of biological drugs, and evaluates the effects of different solvents on encapsulation efficiency. The findings provide insights for the future development of long-term room-temperature storage of biologics or water-in-oil-in-water biologic delivery systems.

Summary: In this study, Ni-doped La0.7Sr0.3FeO3 perovskite nanostructures were successfully synthesized using the reverse micelle technique. The samples showed good crystallinity and an orthorhombic crystal structure, with increased crystallite growth observed with higher Ni doping levels. Characterization using FESEM/EDS confirmed uniform morphology and interconnected particles, while FTIR spectra demonstrated the perovskite structure. Moreover, a systematic reduction in bandgap, frequency-dependent dielectric properties, and weak ferromagnetism were observed with increasing Ni concentration.

Summary: We report on Prussian Blue based nanozymes comparable in size with a natural enzyme. Protein-sized nanoparticles have been synthesized as templates in reversed micelles, and their catalytic activity has been studied. Hydrogen peroxide sensors made with these nanozymes showed higher sensitivity. Therefore, protein-sized nanozymes have important applications in sensors and analytical kits.

Summary: Desalination membranes are essential for providing clean water for various purposes. This study focused on fabricating reverse osmosis membranes using self-assembled surfactant micelles as structure directing agents, resulting in improved water permeability and salt rejection efficiency. The findings showed that larger micellar structures contributed to the best desalination performance, increasing water flux by approximately 180% and enhancing salt-rejection selectivity by approximately 5%.

The results show that the ionic liquid reverse micelle system can cause swelling of cotton fabric and the swelling significantly affects the dyeing properties of cotton fabric. Temperature and the molar ratio of ionic liquid to surfactant have a significant impact on the swelling of cotton fabrics.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the characteristics of neat monoglyceride (DMG) oleogel by adding carnauba wax (CBW) at different weight ratios and concentrations. The addition of CBW strengthened the DMG network and reduced its polymorphic transition. The DMG/CBW oleogel at the 85:15 ratio showed improved properties and reduced waxy mouthfeel in food applications.

Summary: In this study, the kinetics of change in the concentration of lipid hydroperoxides and carbonyls were simultaneously investigated during peroxidation of canola and olive oils at 90 degrees C. The results showed that canola oil underwent a one-step multiphase peroxidation, while olive oil exhibited a two-step multiphase peroxidation. The higher LOOH formation and lower decomposition rates in the second step of canola oil peroxidation were attributed to the dominant peroxidation of linolenic acid in the first step, and the additional peroxidation of oleic and linoleic acids in the second step. The kinetics of change in carbonyl concentration, which was influenced by the potency of constituting antioxidative compounds, indicated that canola oil can be safely used until the end of the first peroxidation step, while olive oil should be discarded during its induction period.

Summary: The kinetics of LOOH and LCO concentration changes were investigated during peroxidation of purified and unpurified sunflower oils at 60 degrees C. Two distinct peroxidation steps were observed, with significantly different rates of LOOH formation and decomposition. The first step, characterized by dominant peroxidation of linoleic acid, was identified as crucial for determining the quality of commercial sunflower oils from sensory and toxicological aspects.
