Summary: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are sustainable particles that stabilize emulsions by adsorbing at droplet interfaces and providing a steric barrier. Adding salt can adjust the surface charges for increased droplet coverage. However, the interfacial tension and interfacial shear rheology are not strongly correlated with emulsion stability. Furthermore, at normal CNCs concentrations, the bulk rheology is significantly affected, making the details of interfacial rheology unimportant.

Summary: Emulsions stabilized by a mixture of emulsifiers can have tailored functionality depending on the compatibility of the emulsifiers used. This study investigated the interfacial mechanisms underlying gastric lipolysis to better understand the behavior of emulsions. The results showed that competitive adsorption between emulsifiers and lipase is a key factor determining the lipolysis kinetics of emulsions stabilized by mixed emulsifiers.

Summary: This study calculated the optical properties of Pickering particles using electromagnetic field analysis via a finite element method, and discussed the optical responses. It was found that changes in scattering are affected by two different factors, and the scattering amount varies significantly with the constituent material and size of the Pickering particles, being 10 times greater than in a uniformly dispersed system.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the surface hydrophobicity and adsorption properties of Zein nanoparticles (ZN) by using the hydrophobic substance Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) to form hybrid nanoparticles (ZMN). The results showed that the surface hydrophobicity of nanoparticles affected their adsorption properties and the rheological behavior of the composite interface. The increase in the Zein/MCT ratio promoted the exposure of hydrophobic groups and led to rapid adsorption and densely accumulation of ZMN at the interface.

Summary: The relationship between interfacial and bulk emulsion viscoelasticity was investigated in water-in-dodecane reverse Pickering emulsions stabilized with partially hydrophobic silica particles. The results showed that silica and NaCl concentrations affect the viscoelastic properties of the emulsions, with a correlation between the elastic modulus and silica concentration. Increasing the NaCl concentration strengthened the viscoelastic properties of the emulsions, and both silica and NaCl had similar effects on the interface and bulk viscoelastic properties.

Summary: The development of a new high temperature resistant interfacial rheology setup has enabled direct measurement of polymer-polymer interface at temperatures up to 200 degrees C. This allows for exploration of surface/interfacial properties of model fluids with different structures and viscoelastic characteristics, as well as the testing of molten semicrystalline polymer systems for the first time. Additionally, a new lightweight titanium based biconical geometry was designed to enable more sensitive measurement of interfacial rheological properties.

Summary: We propose a method to destabilize Pickering emulsions by transiently perturbing the oil-water interface through the transport of a mutually soluble solute. Visual observation and bright field optical microscopy are used to record the macroscopic and microscopic changes induced in these highly stable emulsions. The method is shown to be effective for different types of solutes and stabilizers, and for both oil-in-water (o/w) and water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions with different non-polar solvents as the oil phase.

Summary: Dry fractionation is a promising method to obtain less refined protein ingredients from legumes, but the relationship between composition and functionality for use as emulsifiers in concentrated emulsions is still unclear. Different lentil fractions produced by dry fractionation had varying protein, starch, and fiber contents, as well as particle sizes, which affected the emulsion stability and rheological properties. The presence of non-protein particles in the emulsions was found to play a significant role in influencing the behavior of the emulsions.

Summary: The main stabilization mechanism of Pickering emulsions stabilized by ethyl cellulose nanoparticles is the adsorption of particles at the interface, rather than the formation of a network in the continuous phase. The presence of particles at the interface causes short-range interactions between the droplets, as observed from the rheological behavior of the emulsions.

Summary: The surface properties of saponin and saponin-chitosan mixtures were analyzed as a function of their bulk mixing ratio using vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG), surface tensiometry, and dilational rheology measurements. The experiments showed some unique properties of saponin-chitosan mixtures, including strong amphiphilicity and high dilational viscoelasticity. This was attributed to electrostatic interactions between saponin as an anionic surfactant and chitosan as a polycation, leading to the formation of surface-active saponin-chitosan complexes and aggregates.

Summary: The optical features of pyrogenic carbons as flame-formed carbon particulate matter were studied using a method that involves size exclusion chromatography coupled with UV-Visible absorption and fluorescence spectrometers. This method allowed for the separation and identification of blue- and green-fluorescent components typical of carbon dots (CDs). It also enabled the online determination of quantum yield and optical band gap of fluorescent components in carbon suspensions. The results showed that aromatic species with molecular weight greater than 1000 u and band gap less than 1-1.5 eV had little to no fluorescence. The method can assist in optimizing CD formation and purification processes.

Summary: The role of graphene-related materials (GRMs) in the structural and adsorption properties of MOF-based hybrids was investigated. The GRMs used were oxidized graphene-like (GL-ox), hydrazine-reduced graphene-like (GL), and amine-grafted graphene-like (GL-NH2) materials. The hybrid materials showed high specific surface area (SSA) and good affinity for CO2 and CH4, with different pore size distributions due to interactions between MOF precursors and specific functional groups on the GRM surface. The maximum storage capacity for CO2 and CH4 was highest for HKUST-1/GL-NH2, followed by HKUST-1, HKUST-1/GL-ox, and HKUST-1/GL. The measured uptakes were comparable or higher than those reported in the literature under similar conditions for Cu-HKUST-1 based hybrids.

Summary: Pickering emulsions stabilized by the interaction of palmitic acid and silica nanoparticles have been studied. The interaction between palmitic acid and SiNPs has a synergistic effect on emulsion stabilization, resulting in enhanced emulsion stability. The formation of fatty acid-nanoparticle complexes driven by hydrogen bond interactions leads to particle attachment at the fluid interface, creating a rigid armor that minimizes droplet coalescence. The nature of the emulsions is determined by the hydrophobic mismatch between the alkane chain and the hydrophobic chain of palmitic acid.

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.
