Summary: This study analyzes the dynamic adsorption of surfactant from a micellar solution to a rapidly created surface. The model considers the adsorption of surfactant monomers, rather than micelles, on the surface. The results show the formation of a micelle-free region near the interface, which expands over time. The system reaches a state of full local equilibrium in the final stage.

Summary: Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the pH-induced structural transitions of a CTAB/p-toluic acid solution, revealing the formation of spherical and cylindrical micelles at different pH values. The bonding interactions between CTA(+) and toluic acid were found to be significantly different in spherical and cylindrical micelles. As the pH decreased, the cylindrical micelles broke into spherical micelles due to the weakening of bonding interactions and the increase in electrostatic repulsion among the positive headgroups.

Summary: Fe3O4@ZnO nanocomposites (NCs) were synthesized to improve the stability of viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fracturing fluid, and their properties were studied. The NC-VES showed superior stability at high temperature and shear rate, acceptable pH stability range, good sand-carrying performance, gel-breaking properties, and easy separation and recycling of NCs by applying a magnetic field. This temperature-resistant, stable, and environmentally friendly fracturing fluid has potential in hydraulic fracturing of unconventional reservoirs.

Summary: A systematic study using small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) was conducted to investigate the phase behavior and morphological causes of aggregation of poloxamer 188 (P188) in the presence of phenol and benzyl alcohol. The results showed that P188 remained as unimers at low phenol concentrations, formed micelles at moderate phenol concentrations due to the interaction with phenol, and exhibited turbidity and phase separation at high phenol concentrations. The effect of benzyl alcohol on the phase behavior was also investigated.

Summary: The solubilisation capacities of surfactant micelles formed by various surfactants with different hydrophilic headgroups and a C12 hydrocarbon tail were studied for a range of hydrophobic steroids. The solubilisation studies were performed at ambient temperature and the physicochemical properties of the surfactant systems were characterized. The results showed that the solubility of the poorly water-soluble steroids increased upon solubilisation within the micelles, and this increase varied with the nature of the headgroup and the hydrophobicity of the drug. The optimal solubilisation and loci of solubilisation for the testosterone analogues were identified.

Summary: The anomeric configuration of n-hexadecyl-D-maltopyranoside affects the micelle morphology and rheological behavior, with beta-C(16)G(2) forming worm-like micelles and alpha-C(16)G(2) forming cylindrical micelles. Mixing these surfactants can lead to systems with intermediate rheological properties. The results demonstrate the potential for tailored development of sustainable excipients through geometric variations while maintaining the chemical composition of the system.

Summary: This study designed and synthesized azobenzimidazole ionic liquids with reversible photo-induced conductivity regulation. The change of electrical conductivity under UV/visible light irradiation was investigated, and the effect of chemical structure and concentration of the ionic liquids on the photoresponse conductivity regulation was discussed. The results showed that UV light significantly increased the conductivity of the ionic liquid, with longer alkyl chains leading to even greater increases. Visible light irradiation returned the electrical conductivity to its initial value. The reversible photo-induced conductivity regulation was attributed to the formation/dissociation of ionic liquid aggregates induced by the isomerization of azobenzene under light irradiation.

Summary: The use of solubilizing additives has been an effective approach in addressing poorly water-soluble drugs (PWSD) in the drug discovery pipeline. This study used modern NMR methods to understand the molecular-level interactions of E2 solubilization in PS80 micelles, revealing the accumulation of E2 within the palisade layer of PS80 micelles and potential hydrogen-bonding interactions with PS80 alkane chains. The increase in micellar size with higher degrees of supersaturation led to slower mobility of the drug molecule.

Summary: The study investigated droplet formation in a flow focusing microfluidic device for capillary numbers between 10^(-4) and 10^(-1). Results showed that droplet size decreased with an increase of the capillary number, and the neck thinning rate during necking depended on surfactant concentration. During necking, velocities along the neck interface were smaller for surfactant laden cases due to Marangoni phenomena.

Summary: In this study, the use of deep learning generative models is proposed to predict drop coalescence in chemical engineering. By training the predictive models with generated synthetic data, the lack of training data and label imbalance problem can be overcome. A novel generative model called DSCVAE is developed for labelled tabular data, which is capable of generating consistent and realistic samples compared to the standard CVAE. By enhancing random forest and gradient boosting classifiers on synthetic data and evaluating their performances based on real experimental data, numerical results show a considerable improvement in prediction accuracy, with DSCVAE outperforming the standard CVAE. This research provides valuable insights into handling imbalanced data for classification problems, particularly in chemical engineering.

Summary: The control of droplet formation and size using microfluidic devices is essential for laboratory and industrial applications. This study investigates how surfactants can improve stability and control droplet size in silicone oil. Two data-driven models, based on Bayesian regularised artificial neural network and XGBoost, accurately predict droplet size as a function of flow rates and surfactant properties. Compared to semi-empirical models, the data-driven models have higher accuracy. The models were also trained with simplified inputs, showing good prediction results. Additionally, a synthetic data set was generated, proving the feasibility of using this method in future lab on a chip applications.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
