Abstract
BACKGROUND Biopolymer-based microgels are being regarded increasingly as promising building blocks in food applications. This study aimed to clarify the evolution process of the network for fat analogue emulsions stabilized by peanut protein isolate (PPI) microgel particles. It also investigated the interfacial structure and characteristics of emulsions (50% oil phase, w/w) stabilized by microgels under different pH conditions. RESULTS There was an increasing interfacial adsorption capacity for PPI microgels over time (from 85.26% to the maximum of 89.78% at 24 h of storage) due to the aggregation of microgels around droplets and the development of cross-linking microgel chains between adjacent interfaces. The increased β-sheet content (from 35.51% to 41.12%) of adsorbed microgels indicated unfolding and the enhanced aggregation of microgels, which led to stronger droplet interaction. The network evolution observed with different microscopes clarified the transition to a self-supporting emulsion. The uneven adsorption of large microgel aggregates at the oil-water interface promoted larger and deformed droplets, so more fat-like medium internal phase emulsion stabilized by PPI microgel could be obtained by adjusting the microgel pH to 4.5. The interfacial membranes observed by scanning electron microscopy were thicker and coarser at pH 3.0 and 4.5 than those at pH 7.0 and 9.0. The adsorption of PPI microgel aggregates enhanced the structural strength and improved emulsion stability. CONCLUSION This work could form a basis for further studies relating physical properties to the design of plant protein-based fat analogues. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

He X, Lu Q. A review of high internal phase Pickering emulsions: Stabilization, rheology, and 3D printing application. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 324:103086. [PMID: 38244533 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
High internal phase Pickering emulsion (HIPPE) is renowned for its exceptionally high-volume fraction of internal phase, leading to flocculated yet deformed emulsion droplets and unique rheological behaviors such as shear-thinning property, viscoelasticity, and thixotropic recovery. Alongside the inherent features of regular emulsion systems, such as large interfacial area and well-mixture of two immiscible liquids, the HIPPEs have been emerging as building blocks to construct three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds with customized structures and programmable functions using an extrusion-based 3D printing technique, making 3D-printed HIPPE-based scaffolds attract widespread interest from various fields such as food science, biotechnology, environmental science, and energy transfer. Herein, the recent advances in preparing suitable HIPPEs as 3D printing inks for various applied fields are reviewed. This work begins with the stabilization mechanism of HIPPEs, followed by introducing the origin of their distinctive rheological behaviors and strategies to adjust the rheological behaviors to prepare more eligible HIPPEs as printing inks. Then, the compatibility between extrusion-based 3D printing and HIPPEs as building blocks was discussed, followed by a summary of the potential applications using 3D-printed HIPPE-based scaffolds. Finally, limitations and future perspectives on preparing HIPPE-based materials using extrusion-based 3D printing were presented.

Abstract
Retaining emulsions stable at high acidity and salinity is still a great challenge. Here, we report a novel multi-headgroup surfactant (C3 H7 -NH+ (C10 COOH)2 , di-UAPAc) which can be reversibly transformed among cationic, anionic and zwitterionic forms upon pH variation. Stable oil-in-dispersion (OID) emulsions in strong acidity (pH=2) can be co-stabilized by low concentrations of di-UAPAc and silica nanoparticles. High salinity at pH=2 improves the adsorption of di-UAPAc on silica particles through hydrogen bonding, resulting in the transformation of OID emulsions into Pickering emulsions. Moreover, emulsification/demulsification and interconversion between OID and Pickering emulsions together with control of the viscosity and droplet size can be triggered by pH. The present work provides a new protocol for designing surfactants for various applications in harsh aqueous media, such as strong acidity and high salinity, involved in oil recovery and sewerage treatments.

Abstract
Phase inversion of Pickering emulsions from water-in-oil (W/O) to oil-in-water (O/W) is achieved by the formation of an interfacial particle bilayer using negatively charged and positively charged particles dispersed in water and oil, respectively, before emulsification. A mechanism based on electrostatic attraction across the toluene-water interface is proposed and verified by systematic investigation of the parameters that affect the surface charge of negatively charged particles such as pH and salt concentration. Cationic silica-FITC particles (600 nm) can be dispersed in toluene and stabilize W/O emulsions alone; phase inversion of this emulsion can be induced by the addition of anionic silica-RB particles in the aqueous phase at a concentration of 1.0 wt % or above. It is revealed that silica-RB particles of a smaller size (100 nm) can induce emulsion phase inversion at a much lower concentration (0.4 wt %) and an interfacial particle bilayer is clearly revealed by CLSM and SEM images. By tuning the surface charge density of silica-RB particles, the electrostatic attraction mechanism leading to the formation of the interfacial particle bilayer is confirmed and emulsion stability can be tuned as demonstrated by osmotic pressure enhancement results obtained from centrifugation.

Abstract
Innovation in emulsion compositions is necessary to enrich emulsion formulations and applications. Herein, Pickering emulsions were prepared using silica nanoparticles and aliphatic primary amines with an oil-water ratio of 1:1 (v/v). Contact angle experiments revealed that the in situ hydrophobization of nanoparticles was caused by the surface adsorption of amine molecules. Notably, the interactions between amine compounds and the surface of silica nanoparticles were electrostatic attractions and mutual hydrogen bonding. The existence of hydrogen bonds was further confirmed by demulsification experiments using a chaotropic agent DMF and increasing temperatures. The hydrophobicity of silica nanoparticles can be effectively improved using most commercially available aliphatic primary amines such as n-hexylamine, n-octylamine, n-decylamine, dodecylamine, and tetradecylamine. The minimum concentrations of the aforementioned amines necessary for stabilizing the emulsions with 0.3 wt % silica nanoparticles are 3, 0.6, 0.3, 0.06, and 0.03 mM, respectively, decreasing significantly with increasing alkyl chain length. With the increase of the amine concentrations, the hydrophobicity of silica particles monotonically increased and finally resulted in the inversion of emulsions. The amine concentrations for emulsion phase inversion were 150, 40, 30, 20, and 20 mM, respectively, in the presence of 0.3 wt % silica nanoparticles. In this work, silica nanoparticles were hydrophobized using aliphatic primary amines. The composite stabilizers developed are useful for developing novel stimuli-responsive Pickering emulsions, while the synergistic effects introduced herein are also helpful in expanding the hydrophobization methods available for nanoparticles.

Abstract
AbstractChitosan (CTS) coatings have been studied as a biocompatible coating on biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys to improve the corrosion resistance and bioactivity for medical implants. However, the loose structure of the CTS coating cannot provide ideal long‐time corrosion resistance in the physiological environment. In this study, a nano‐SiO2/CTS composite coating was applied on an Mg alloy substrate using the sol–gel method. The surface characteristics of the samples were examined by Fourier‐transform infrared analysis, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy‐energy‐dispersive spectrometry, and contact angle measurements. The particle size and suitable dispersion of the SiO2 nanoparticles inside the composite coating were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Further, the corrosion protection behavior of the coatings was examined in a simulated body fluid using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and scanning electrochemical microscopy analyses. Atomic force microscopy was used to determine the surface morphologies of the samples after the polarization test. The surface characteristics, electrochemical measurements, and immersion test revealed that the SiO2 nanoparticles effectively filled the voids of the CTS coating and significantly improved the corrosion resistance. The optimal concentration of nano‐SiO2 is 1.0 g/L.

Abstract
Polymeric Pickering emulsifiers may bring new insights to emulsion theory and practice due to their soft characters. Herein, a group of soft Pickering emulsifiers, chitosan-casein hydrophobic peptides nanoparticles (CS-CHP NPs) were prepared with a non-covalent anti-solvent procedure. The CS-CHP NPs provided the contact angles of 37.2°-87.4°, stabilizing O/W or W/O emulsions with enhanced thermal stability, endowing the emulsion with pH and CO2/N2 responsiveness. The emulsifying behavior and mechanism presented by CS-CHP NPs were different from that of ordinary hard Pickering emulsifiers, where the appropriate contact angle was 37.2° instead of 87.4° for stabilizing O/W emulsions. Moreover, the nanoparticles possess antioxidant, antibacterial activities and excellent biocompatibility. DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity of the CS-CHP NPs were >220% of that of CS NPs. The last, the emulsion provided high-efficient encapsulation of curcumin, making the soft Pickering emulsifiers a group candidate for drug delivery in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Water plays an essential role in production and refining processes. Many industries that use petrochemicals also require water, especially for cleaning purposes. The wastewaters released by these processes are often rich in petroleum pollutants, which requires significant treatment prior to disposal. The presence of petroleum contaminants in rivers and oceans is a significant threat to human health, as well as to many animal species. A current challenge for most industries and conventional effluent treatment plants is compliance with accepted disposal standards for oil-polluted wastewater. Of particular importance is the processing of dispersed oil in water, as well as oil in water emulsion. Conventional oil and water separation methods for processing oil in water contamination have several technology gaps in terms of applicability and efficiency. The removal and effective processing of dispersed oil and emulsions from oily wastewater is a costly and significant problem. The objective of this paper is to provide a review of the principles associated with oil in water emulsion separation, with the aim of providing a more definitive understanding of the terminology, processes, and methodologies, which will assist the development of a more efficient, innovative and environmentally friendly process for the separation of oily wastewater.

Abstract
Using solely highly hydrophilic particles to stabilize emulsions, especially high internal phase emulsions, has always been an important challenge. Here pH-responsive Pickering emulsions stabilized by a low concentration of bare highly hydrophilic Ludox CL nanoparticles without surface modification or addition of surfactants are developed at neutral pH. The dispersed nanoparticles can be transformed into an aggregate state with a network-like structure near the isoelectric point, which contributes to the stabilization of the emulsions. Moreover, the vdW attraction between particles and droplets also plays a key role in the formation of emulsions, which can make the aggregated nanoparticles adsorb tightly around the droplets rather than penetrate the oil-water interface. The formed protective armor and network-like aggregates separate droplets from each other to prevent coalescence. At a low nanoparticle concentration (0.5 wt%), a high internal phase emulsion can be formed and can last up to half a year. This system can emulsify not only the hydrocarbon oil but also the fluoroalkane oil phase. Finally, organic-inorganic composite particles are fabricated using the template action of the Pickering emulsions. The method of preparing composite particles is more convenient than the traditional Pickering emulsion polymerization which often requires the modification of the surface of the hydrophilic particles or the addition of auxiliary monomers. This study provides a simple green strategy for the preparation of a more stable Pickering emulsion stabilized by surface-inactive nanoparticles and will broaden the scope of applications.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Highly hydrophilic nanoparticles are generally considered not suitable for stabilizing Pickering emulsions, since they could not be effectively wetted by the oil phase at the water-oil interface. However, highly hydrophilic nanoparticles with good dispersity are possibly absorbed and packed onto the surface of the oil droplets in water via the van der Waals attraction between the nanoparticles and the oil droplets. Hence, a novel "van der Waals emulsion" should be possible to be stabilized by highly hydrophilic nanoparticles. EXPERIMENTS Oil-in-water emulsions solely stabilized by pristine TiO2 nanoparticles (i.e., TiO2 without any modification or additives) were prepared. The emulsification behavior under varying pH value, oil fraction, particle content and temperature of the emulsion were explored. Composite wax-based beads which encapsulated chemical sunscreen and was coated by TiO2 nanoparticles, was also fabricated using the obtained emulsion as the templates. FINDINGS The emulsions displayed the highest stability near the isoelectric points of the TiO2 nanoparticles, which was attributed to the van der Waals attraction between TiO2 nanoparticles and oil droplets. Such mechanism was supported by a theoretical analysis based on calculation of the Hamaker constants and experimental evidences. Therefore, this work presents a simple, general and green method for preparing particle-stabilized emulsions.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are particles with a characteristic dimension below 100 nm. The properties of nanoparticles differ substantially from those of "big" colloidal particles (size bigger than 1 μm) because radius of surface forces, which is around 100 nm, is greater than or comparable with the nanoparticles size. The latter means that each nanoparticle could be completely covered by the surface forces of the neighbouring particles at small enough separation. It also means that the well-known Derjaguin approximation cannot be applied directly and some modifications are required. Pairwise interaction between nanoparticles can be used only at an extremely low volume fraction of nanoparticles (below some critical volume fraction, which is ~0.02%), and above this concentration a new theory based on many-particle interactions should be applied, which is yet to be developed. Some recent progress in the area of interaction between nanoparticles is reviewed and the properties of nanosuspensions based on interaction between nanoparticles are described. The authors have not attempted to cover all available literature in the area but instead have tried to underline the fundamental problems in the area which need to be addressed.

Abstract
Liquid-fluid interfaces provide a platform both for structuring liquids into complex shapes and assembling dimensionally confined, functional nanomaterials. Historically, attention in this area has focused on simple emulsions and foams, in which surface-active materials such as surfactants or colloids stabilize structures against coalescence and alter the mechanical properties of the interface. In recent decades, however, a growing body of work has begun to demonstrate the full potential of the assembly of nanomaterials at liquid-fluid interfaces to generate functionally advanced, biomimetic systems. Here, a broad overview is given, from fundamentals to applications, of the use of liquid-fluid interfaces to generate complex, all-liquid devices with a myriad of potential applications.
