Summary: Understanding nonionic surfactant-protein interactions is crucial for both technological and scientific purposes, yet there is a lack of kinetic data. By using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), this study investigated the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of bovine lactoferrin-Brij58 interactions at different temperatures under physiological conditions. The results showed that the adsorption process was accelerated with increasing temperature, leading to a more thermodynamically stable complex formation. The energetic parameters indicated that the potential energy barrier for complex formation primarily arises from the reduction in system entropy.

Summary: By introducing nonionic surfactant into the typically employed mixture of anionic surfactants, the aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) method can be enhanced for the straightforward isolation of (6,4) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in one step. Thorough analysis of the parameter space by experiments and modeling reveals the underlying interactions between SWCNTs, surfactants, and phase-forming agents, which drive the partitioning. A separation mechanism is proposed based on the new insight gained.

Summary: Parameters concerning the microemulsion phase behavior of nonionic surfactants of the alkyl polyglycol ether type have been extensively investigated in recent years. This study focused on the influence of technical grade nonionic surfactants on phase behavior and surfactant efficiency. The results show that varying the alkyl chain length has a significant impact on efficiency, while the ethoxylation degree has a minor effect. The introduction of propylene oxide improves the efficiency, and the order of alkoxylation is crucial.

Summary: This study focuses on the interaction between cationic dye methylene blue (MB) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), as well as its mixed micelles with nonionic surfactant Triton X-114 (TX-114). The results show that the mixed micellar system is more effective in removing and solubilizing MB from aqueous systems. However, an increase in the concentration of the nonionic surfactant weakens the dye-surfactant interaction in the ionic-nonionic mixed micellar system.

Summary: This work investigated the influence of synthesis conditions and hydrothermal exposure on the texture and structural properties of ZnO samples. It was found that regardless of the surfactant used, ZnO with a wurtzite structure and spherical or oval particles can be formed. The particle size slightly increases with the molecular weight and viscosity of the surfactants. Hydrothermal exposure results in the formation of hexagonal ZnO rod crystal structures of various sizes. ZnO samples with spherical particles of 30-80 nm have higher residual Zn2+ ion content.

Summary: This study investigates the interactions between cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose (catHEC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) or sodium cholate (NaC). It is found that there are strong interactions between catHEC and NaDC, while the interactions with NaC are weak. This difference may be due to the ability of NaDC to form more connections and entanglements.

Summary: Aqueous dispersions of charged-neutral block copolymers complexed with an oppositely charged surfactant were prepared using different approaches. The dispersions prepared by the simple mixing of two solutions displayed nanometric spherical particles with disordered cores and poor colloidal stability. On the other hand, dispersions prepared from freeze-dried complex salt had anisometric particles that were large enough to sustain micellar cubic cores and showed long-time colloidal stability. The results highlight the importance of the preparation procedure in controlling the physicochemical properties of dispersed particles.

Summary: In this study, a diblock copolymer called methoxy-poly(ethyleneglycol)-block-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (MPEG-b-PCL) was synthesized with a unique block composition that allows it to exhibit both an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) and a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in aqueous solutions. The UCST value was found to be 32°C upon heating and 23°C upon cooling, while the LCST remained unaffected. Various characterization techniques revealed that the solution consisted of spherical core-shell particles and rodlike objects at intermediate temperatures, cylindrical core-shell crystals at low temperatures, and large aggregation complexes at temperatures above 52°C. This work provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between UCST and LCST and the resulting structures formed in aqueous solutions of MPEG-b-PCL diblock copolymers.

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.

Summary: The stability of La1/3Sr2/3Fe1-xMnxO3-delta, a perovskite-type oxide, under reducing conditions is dependent on the manganese content. Increasing the manganese content leads to a decrease in stability. The behavior of iron and manganese in the oxide shows distinct differences, which can be attributed to the difference in the enthalpy of oxidation reactions. Additionally, the change in the La/Sr ratio affects the concentration of iron and manganese ions.
