This was explained by considering the charge on the pNIPAm-co-10%AAc microgels that influences how osmotic and Hofmeister effects impacts hydration state.
The widespread use of antibacterial electrospun nanofibers is mostly restricted due to their low loading capacity to carry antibiotics and the need to use toxic organic solvents to boost the antibiotic loading capacity. Nanofibers based on natural excipients, such as cyclodextrin (CD)-based nanofibers, can carry larger amounts of antibiotics while achieving better stability via inclusion complexation.

Nanofibers were produced by electrospinning and analyzed by electron microscopy to investigate the morphology of fibers. The formation of inclusion-complexation was analyzed by
H NMR, FTIR, and XRD. Thermal analysis of the fibers was done using TGA. Ab initio modeling studies were done to calculate the complexation energies of antibiotics with CD. A disk-diffusion assay was used to test the antibacterial activity of the fibers.

Bead-free antibacterial nanofibers with mean diameters between 340 and 550nm were produced. The formation of inclusion complexes (IC) between the CD and the antibiotics was confiriotic encapsulation (45-90%). Ab initio simulations revealed that gentamicin had the highest complexation energy, followed by kanamycin, chloramphenicol, and ampicillin. The antibacterial nanofibers rapidly dissolved in water and artificial saliva, successfully releasing the CD antibiotic complexes. The nanofibers showed high antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli.
The self-assembly of long-tail surfactants results in the formation of nanoscale structures, e.g. worm-like micelles, with the ability to modify the rheology of the system. However, micelle formation, and thus the alteration of the rheology, is subject to the high Krafft temperature of saturated long-tail surfactants. Hexadecylmaltosides are sustainable surfactants that, in solution, form tailorable viscoelastic fluids. The preparation of monounsaturated sugar-based surfactants is hypothesised to reduce the Krafft point compared to the saturated analogues, therefore increasing the temperature range where the surfactant remains in the micellar form.

Here we report the synthesis and characterisation of a novel sugar-based surfactant with an unsaturated C16-tail, namely palmitoleyl-β-d-maltoside (β-C
G
). Differential scanning calorimetry was used to probe the temperature stability of the system. The rheology of β-C
G
solutions was investigated by means of rotational and oscillatory rheology, and these entanglement in the semi-dilute regime, result in the formation of a non-Newtonian, viscoelastic fluid. These observations have important implications in the development of new sustainable formulated products, enabling the preparation of surfactant phases with remarkable thermal resilience.The semiconductor photocatalyst is crucial for dealing with the current environmental and energy crises. However, the large-scale applications of the reported semiconductor materials are hampered by the recombination of electrons and holes, low kinetic properties, and slow reaction rates. SB290157 Herein, a three-dimensional structured kaolin/hydrothermally treated red phosphorus (K/HRP) composite photocatalyst was synthesized. The composition ratio was optimized, and the K7/HRP composites (contained 7%) exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. The rhodamine B photodegradation rate constant and the hydrogen production rate were 0.25 min-1 and 252 μmol h-1 g-1, which were higher than those of HRP by 12.4 and 7.2 times, respectively. The enhancement of the HRP photocatalytic activity was attributed to the presence of K, which inhibited the overgrowth and the agglomeration of HRP and shortened the carrier migration distance. The electrostatic interaction between the K and the HRP effectively promoted the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. In addition, the three-dimensional structure of the K and the HRP construct enhanced the light absorption and provided a pollution-free and large-area transport interface for carriers. This work has paramount guiding importance in the preparation of high-efficiency, cheap, and recyclable nanocomposite photocatalyst materials.Although forward osmosis (FO) technology has been widely adopted for water treatment, it still faces great challenges, including low permeability and fouling problem. Herein, a novel forward osmosis membrane was developed with a stable, uniform and defect-free polyvinyl alcohol/polydopamine coated zeolitic imidazolate framework (PVA/PDA@ZIF-8) hybrid selective layer to simultaneously enhance its transport property and fouling resistance. The prepared FO membrane exhibits improved water flux without losing the selectivity, since the PDA@ZIF-8 provide additional preferential passageway for water transporting while hinder the diffusion of salt. The optimized membrane shows a higher water flux than pristine PVA membrane (14.2 vs. 8.7 L m-2 h-1 in FO mode, 24.3 vs. 14.8 L m-2 h-1 in PRO mode) with a reasonable selectivity considering as Js/Jw value (0.44 vs. 0.4 g L-1 in FO mode, 0.38 vs. 0.33 g L-1). Moreover, the dynamic fouling experiments with organic foulants (protein and polysaccharide) indicate that the prepared membrane exhibits strong antifouling property and excellent permeation recovery ability (>95.0%) due to the optimized surface property. This study opens a new avenue for treatment wastewater by developing a forward osmosis membrane based on a hydrogel/MOF hybrid selective layer.
Molecular dynamics simulation can be used to differentiate between the adsorption properties of rhamnolipid congeners at a vacuum-water interface.

Adsorption of five congeners with differing alkyl chains (two C10 chains, two C14 chains or mixed C14C10 and C10C14), number of rhamnose rings (mono- or di-) and carboxyl group charge (non-ionic or anionic) are simulated at the vacuum-water interface.

All rhamnolipids adsorb in the interfacial region with rhamnose and carboxyl groups closer to the water phase, and alkyl chains closer to the vacuum phase, but with differing adsorbed conformations. Headgroups of uncharged congeners show two preferred conformations, closed and partially open. Di-rhamnolipid has a low proportion of closed conformation, due to the steric constraints of the second pyranose ring. Charged congeners show strong preference for closed headgroup conformations. For rhamnolipids with equal alkyl chains lengths (C10C10, C14C14) the distribution of alkyl chain tilt angles is similar for both.
