Influence of the hydrophile-lipophile balance of perfluorinated surfactants on the emulsion stability
Esther Amstad, Gaia De Angelis
Emulsions are omnipresent in our everyday life; for example, in food, certain drug and cosmetic formulations, agriculture, and as paints. Moreover, they are frequently used to perform high-throughput screening assays with minimum sample volumes. Key to the ...
Springer Heidelberg2024A Versatile Approach to Stabilize Liquid-Liquid Interfaces using Surfactant Self-Assembly
Stabilizing liquid-liquid interfaces, whether between miscible or immiscible liquids, is crucial for a wide range of applications, including energy storage, microreactors, and biomimetic structures. In this study, a versatile approach for stabilizing the w ...
Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh2024Trap-and-Track for Characterizing Surfactants at Interfaces
Olivier Martin, Jeonghyeon Kim
Understanding the behavior of surfactants at interfaces is crucial for many applications in materials science and chemistry. Optical tweezers combined with trajectory analysis can become a powerful tool for investigating surfactant characteristics. In this ...
2023Revealing the Formation Dynamics of Janus Polymer Particles: Insights from Experiments and Molecular Dynamics
Seeded emulsion polymerization is one of the best-known methods for preparing polymer particles with a controlled size, composition, and shape. It first requires the preparation of seed particles, which are then swollen with additional monomer (the same as ...
Washington2023Adsorption of progesterone onto microplastics and its desorption in fish following digestion with simulated gastric and intestinal fluids
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Thibault Béranger Masset, Cécilia Laetitia Carla Siri, Yang Liu
The sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds onto microplastics is relatively well reported in the literature, while their desorption remains poorly investigated, especially in biological fluids. The present study investigated the sorption and desorption ...
2022Investigating the morphological transitions in an associative surfactant ternary system
Associative surfactants systems involving polar oils have recently been shown to stabilize immiscible liquids by forming nanostructures at the liquid interface and have been used to print soft materials. Although these associating surfactant systems show g ...
2022Ion-bridges and lipids drive aggregation of same-charge nanoparticles on lipid membranes
Francesco Stellacci, Zekiye Pelin Güven, Giulia Rossi
The control of the aggregation of biomedical nanoparticles (NP) in physiological conditions is crucial as clustering may change completely the way they interact with the biological environment. Here we show that Au nanoparticles, functionalized by an anion ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2022In-vitro digestion of Tire and Road Wear Particles: Bioavailability of metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset
The potential impact of Tire and Road Wear Particles (TRWP) on aquatic organisms has recently gained attention since the occurrence of TRWP in the aquatic environment has been observed in surface water and sediments of numerous regions. Moreover, the inges ...
