Abstract
To investigate the effect of the molecular size of alkanes and the cavity size of cyclodextrins (CDs) on the formation of interfacial host-guest inclusion complexes, the interfacial tension (IFT) of CD (α-CD, β-CD, γ-CD) solutions against oils (hexadecane, dodecylbenzene) was determined by interfacial dilational rheology measurements. The results show that the "space compatibility" between CDs and oil molecules is crucial for the formation of interface host-guest inclusion complexes. Hexadecane with a smaller molecular size can form host-guest inclusion complexes with small cavities of α-CD and β-CD, dodecylbenzene with a larger molecular size can form interfacial aggregates with the medium-sized cavity of β-CD easily, and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules in kerosene can form inclusion complexes with the large cavity of γ-CD. The formation of interfacial inclusion complexes leads to lower IFT values, higher interfacial dilational modulus, nonlinear IFT responses to the interface area oscillating, and skin-like films at the oil-water interface. What's more, the phase behavior of Pickering emulsions formed by CDs with different oils is explored, and the phenomena in alkane-CD emulsions are in line with the results in dilatation rheology. The interfacial active host-guest structure in the kerosene-γ-CD system improves the stability of the Pickering emulsion, which results in smaller emulsion droplets. This unique space compatibility characteristic is of great significance for the application of CDs in selective host-guest recognition, sensors, enhanced oil recovery, food industries, and local drug delivery.

Abstract
Identifying and removing microplastics (MPs) from the environment is a global challenge. This study explores how the colloidal fraction of MPs assemble into distinct 2D patterns at aqueous interfaces of liquid crystal (LC) films with the goal of developing surface-sensitive methods for identifying MPs. Polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) microparticles are measured to exhibit distinct aggregation patterns, with addition of anionic surfactant amplifying differences in PS/PE aggregation patterns: PS changes from a linear chain-like morphology to a singly dispersed state with increasing surfactant concentration whereas PE forms dense clusters at all surfactant concentrations. Statistical analysis of assembly patterns using deep learning image recognition models yields accurate classification, with feature importance analysis confirming that dense, multibranched assemblies are unique features of PE relative to PS. Microscopic characterization of LC ordering at the microparticle surfaces leads to predict LC-mediated interactions (due to elastic strain) with a dipolar symmetry, a prediction consistent with the interfacial organization of PS but not PE. Further analysis leads to conclude that PE microparticles, due to their polycrystalline nature, possess rough surfaces that lead to weak LC elastic interactions and enhanced capillary forces. Overall, the results highlight the potential utility of LC interfaces for rapid identification of colloidal MPs based on their surface properties.

Abstract
The distinctive assembly behaviors of lysozyme (Lys) feature prominently in food, materials, biomedicine, and other fields and have intrigued many scholars. Although our previous work suggested that reduced glutathione (GSH) could induce lysozyme to form interfacial films at the air/water interface, the underlying mechanism is still obscure. In the present study, the effects of GSH on the disulfide bond and protein conformation of lysozyme were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy. The findings demonstrated that GSH was able to break the disulfide bond in lysozyme molecules through the sulfhydryl/disulfide bond exchange reaction, thereby unraveling the lysozyme. The β-sheet structure of lysozyme expanded significantly, while the contents of α-helix and β-turn decreased. Furthermore, the interfacial tension and morphology analysis supported that the unfolded lysozyme tended to arrange macroscopic interfacial films at the air/water interface. It was found that pH and GSH concentrations had an impact on the aforementioned processes, with higher pH or GSH levels having a positive effect. This paper on the exploration of the mechanism of GSH-induced lysozyme interface assembly and the development of lysozyme-based green coatings has better instructive significance.

Abstract
Shellac is a natural amphiphilic substance, and its nanoparticles can be used to stabilize Pickering emulsions with droplets and bi-continuous structures. In this study, shellac nanoparticles (SNPs) were produced through the anti-solvent method, and these SNPs were used to produce a series of Pickering emulsions. Fourier transform infrared results showed that SNPs were generated through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic effects. The contact angle of SNPs was 122.3°, indicating that hydrophobicity was their dominant characteristic. According to the results of confocal laser scanning microscopy, the Pickering emulsions stabilized by SNPs showed oil-in-water, bi-continuous structure, and water-in-oil characteristics, which were dependent on the oil-phase content. The resistance value of the emulsified part of these Pickering emulsion systems significantly increased at an oil-phase ratio of 80-90% (more than 105 MΩ), as compared with the 10-70% oil-phase content (around 1 MΩ). The viscosity of SNP-stabilized Pickering emulsions with bi-continuous structures was highest at 40% oil-phase content. The porous material prepared by using Pickering emulsions with bi-continuous structures as a template had an interconnected structure and was able to absorb both water and oil. This study indicated that these amphiphilic SNPs readily form bi-continuous structures and effectively stabilize Pickering emulsions with droplets. These SNPs are expected to have increased application in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
The nanoparticle (NP) surfactants generated in situ by binding NPs and polymers can assemble into an elastic NP monolayer at the interface of two immiscible liquids, structuring the liquids. Janus NPs can be more strongly bound to the interface than the NP surfactants, but they are unable to structure liquids into complex shapes due to the difficulty of assembling the jamming arrays. By molecular dynamics simulations, we give an insight into the better performance of NP surfactants than Janus NPs on dynamically structuring liquids. The high energy binding of Janus NPs to the interface will drive the Janus NPs to assemble into micelles in binary liquids. The micelles are stabilized in one liquid by encapsulating a little of the other liquid, hindering interfacial adsorption when the interface is marginally extended upon liquid deformation. In contrast, the in situ formed NP surfactants can rapidly fill the enlarged interfacial area to arrest the consecutive shape changes of the liquids. Moreover, NP surfactants can be designed with an appropriate coverage ratio (≤50%) of NP surface bearing host-guest sites to avoid dissolution and impart a desirable mechanical elasticity to their assembly.

Abstract
Janus particles exhibit a strong tendency to directionally assemble and segregate to interfaces and thus offer advantages as colloidal analogues of molecular surfactants to improve the stability of multiphasic mixtures. Investigation and application of the unique adsorption properties require synthetic procedures that enable careful design and reliable control over the particles' asymmetric chemistry and wettability profiles with high morphological uniformity across a sample. Herein, we report on a novel one-step synthetic approach for the generation of amphiphilic polymer Janus particles with highly uniform and tunable wettability contrasts, which is based on using reconfigurable bi-phasic Janus emulsions as versatile particle scaffolds. Two phase-separated acrylate oils were used as the constituent droplet phases and transformed into their solidified Janus particle replicas via UV-induced radical polymerization. Using Janus emulsions as particle precursors offers the advantage that their internal droplet geometry can be fine-tuned by changing the force balance of surface tensions acting at the individual interfaces via surfactants or the volume ratio of the constituent phases. In addition, preassembled functional surfactants at the droplet interfaces can be locked in position upon polymerization, which enables both access toward postfunctionalization reaction schemes and the generation of highly uniform Janus particles with adjustable wettability profiles. Depending on the particle morphology and wettability, their interfacial position can be adjusted, which allows us to stabilize either air bubbles-in-water or water droplets-in-air (liquid marbles). Motivated by the interfacial activity of the particles and particularly the longevity of the resulting particle-stabilized air-in-water bubbles, we explored their ability to promote the delivery of oxygen inside a liquid-phase reaction medium, namely, for the heterogeneous Au-NP-mediated catalytic oxidation of d-glucose. We observed a 2.2-fold increase in the reaction rate attributed to the increase of the local concentration of oxygen around catalysts, thus showcasing a new strategy to overcome the limited solubility of gases in aqueous reaction media.

Abstract
A liquid marble (LM) is a droplet coated with microparticles that isolate the liquid interior from its surroundings, making it perfectly non-wetting. This attractive feature allows the LM to perform useful tasks such as coalescence, targeted delivery, and controlled release. The non-wetting characteristic also allows the LM to float on a carrier liquid. The growing number of applications in digital microfluidics requires further insights into the fundamental properties of a LM such as its effective surface tension. Although the coating provides the LM with various desirable characteristics, its random construction presents a major obstacle to accurate optical analysis. This paper presents a novel method to measure the effective surface tension of a floating LM using X-ray imaging and curve fitting procedures. X-ray imaging reveals the true LM liquid-air interface hidden by the coating particles. Analysis of this interface showed that the effective surface tension of a LM is not significantly different from that of its liquid content. This indicates that the particle coating might not have significantly altered the behaviour of the liquid interface. We also found that our method is sensitive enough to detect the variations across individual LMs.

Abstract
Droplets are spherical due to the principle of interfacial energy minimization. Here, we show that nonequilibrium droplet shapes can be stabilized via the interfacial self-assembly and crosslinking of nanoparticles. This principle allows for the stability of practically infinitely long liquid tubules and monodisperse cylindrical droplets. Droplets of oil-in-water are elongated via gravitational or hydrodynamic forces at a reduced interfacial tension. Silica nanoparticles self-assemble and cross-link on the interface triggered by the synergistic surface modification with hexyltrimethylammonium- and trivalent lanthanum-cations. The droplet length dependence is described by a scaling relationship and the rate of nanoparticle deposition on the droplets is estimated. Our approach potentially enables the 3D-printing of Newtonian Fluids, broadening the array of material options for additive manufacturing techniques.

Abstract
Soft polymeric Janus nanoparticles (JNPs), made from polystyrene-b-poly(butadiene)-b-poly(methylmethacrylate), PS-PB-PMMA, triblock terpolymers, assemble into a monolayer at the water-oil interface to reduce interfacial tension. The extent to which the polymer chains can deform influences the packing density of the JNPs at the interface. The longer the polymer chains are relative to the core, the softer are the JNPs, resulting in a JNPs assembly with a lower initial lateral packing density. The interfacial activity of JNPs can be further tuned by complexation of the PMMA chains with lithium ions that are introduced into the water phase. This work provides a fundamental understanding of soft JNPs packing at the water-oil interface and provides a strategy to tailor the areal density of soft JNPs at liquid-liquid interface, enabling the design of smart responsive structured-liquid systems.

Abstract
The buckling phenomenon of sole zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) particles adsorbed at the water/oil interface was systematically studied. The droplet of ZIF-8 water dispersion was pended in oil for a certain time period and manually extracted to decrease the volume. With the reduction of interfacial area, the ZIF-8 particles were jammed together to form a wrinkling solid film at the water/oil interface, which could withstand the extraction of the droplet and be regenerated. The size and concentration of the particles affected the assembly kinetics. The rapidest assembly was observed for the medium-sized ZIF-8 particles (m-ZIF-8) among the three sizes tested (1.81 μm, 258 nm, and 51 nm). The droplet of 0.91 wt % m-ZIF-8 reached a nearly full surface coverage in 13 min, faster than those with the lower concentration of 0.46 or 0.28 wt %. The pH of the solution, ranging between 6 and 10.7, affected both the assembly kinetics and film stability. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy images of frozen m-ZIF-8-stabilized Picking emulsions showed a monolayer of ZIF-8 wetted by both oil and water phases. The observed buckling effect could be attributed to the stable adsorption of ZIF-8 at the water/oil interface and the interparticle interactions, related to the unique surface chemistry and polyhedral shape of the ZIF-8 crystals. This work provided some understanding on the interfacial property of ZIF-8 and the mechanism of sole ZIF-8-stabilized Pickering emulsions.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Saponins are natural surfactants which can provide highly viscoelastic interfaces. This property can be used to quantify precisely the effect of interfacial dilatational elasticity on the various rheological properties of bulk emulsions. EXPERIMENTS We measured the interfacial dilatational elasticity of adsorption layers from four saponins (Quillaja, Escin, Berry, Tea) adsorbed on hexadecane-water and sunflower oil-water interfaces. In parallel, the rheological properties under steady and oscillatory shear deformations were measured for bulk emulsions, stabilized by the same saponins (oil volume fraction between 75 and 85%). FINDINGS Quillaja saponin and Berry saponin formed solid adsorption layers (shells) on the SFO-water interface. As a consequence, the respective emulsions contained non-spherical drops. For the other systems, the interfacial elasticities varied between 2 mN/m and 500 mN/m. We found that this interfacial elasticity has very significant impact on the emulsion shear elasticity, moderate effect on the dynamic yield stress, and no effect on the viscous stress of the respective steadily sheared emulsions. The last conclusion is not trivial, because the dilatational surface viscoelasticity is known to have strong impact on the viscous stress of steadily sheared foams. Mechanistic explanations of all observed effects are described.

Abstract
As oil fields go into their final stage of production, new technologies are necessary to sustain production and increase the recovery of the hydrocarbon. Chemical injection is an enhanced recovery technique, which focuses on increasing the effectiveness of waterfloods. However, the use of chemical flooding has been hampered by its relatively high cost and the adsorption of the injected chemicals onto the reservoir rocks. In recent years, nanofluids have been launched as an overall less expensive and more efficient alternative to other chemical agents. Nanoparticle inclusion is also proposed to mitigate polymer flooding performance limitations under harsh reservoir conditions. This review presents a comprehensive discussion of the most recent developments of polymer nanohybrids for oil recovery. First, the preparation methods of polymer nanohybrids are summarized and explained. Then, an explanation of the different mechanisms leading to improved oil recovery are highlighted. Finally, the current challenges and opportunities for future development and application of polymer nanohybrids for chemical flooding are identified.

Abstract
Almost three decades after de Gennes have introduced the term Janus for particles possessing two faces with different chemical nature, Janus particles are currently a hot topic in itself. Although de Gennes was not concerned with the size of particles, due to the advent and perspectives of nanotechnology, nanosized Janus particles have particularly received great attention. The capacity of having two antagonistic properties within the same particle has attracted interest on Janus nanoparticles for innumerous potential applications. It took some years for the studies about Janus nanoparticles to finally see great advances, mainly due to the progress in nanoparticle synthesis. What de Gennes might have not predicted (or at least he did not mention it during his speech) is that intermolecular interactions between polymers would be of immense importance to the actual achievement of Janus nanoparticles. Moreover, these interactions can also have large effects on the assembly process of amphiphilic Janus nanoparticles, which is important to form hierarchical structures and new materials at different scales. Hence, it is interesting to notice that de Gennes' contribution for the polymer field has been influencing the preparation and the controlled assembly of Janus nanoparticles. This article attempts to summarize empirical studies where noncovalent forces between polymers played a role, either on the production of Janus nanoparticles or on their assembly.

Abstract
Lamella-forming ABC triblock terpolymers are convenient building blocks for the synthesis of soft Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) by crosslinking the B domain that is "sandwiched" between A and C lamellae. Despite thorough synthetic variation of the B fraction to control the geometry of the sandwiched microphase, so far only Janus spheres, cylinders, and sheets have been obtained. In this combined theoretical and experimental work, we show that the blending of polybutadiene homopolymer (hPB) into lamella morphologies of polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polymethylmethacrylate (SBM) triblock terpolymers allows the continuous tuning of the polybutadiene (PB) microphase. We systematically vary the volume fraction of hPB in the system, and we find in both experiments and simulations morphological transitions from PB-cylinders to perforated PB-lamellae and further to continuous PB-lamellae. Our simulations show that the hPB is distributed homogeneously in the PB microdomains. Through crosslinking of the PB domain and redispersion in a common solvent for all blocks, we separate the bulk morphologies into Janus cylinders, perforated Janus sheets, and Janus sheets. These studies suggest that more complex Janus nanostructures could be generated from ABC triblock terpolymers than previously expected.

Abstract
Amine-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), the smallest, monodisperse cage-shaped silica cubic nanoparticle, is exceptionally interfacially active and can form assemblies that jam the toluene/water interface, locking in non-equilibrium shapes of one liquid phase in another. The packing density of the amine-functionalized POSS assembly at the water/toluene interface can be tuned by varying the concentration, the pH value, and the degree of POSS functionalization. Functionalized POSS gives a higher interface coverage, and hence a lower interfacial tension, than nanoparticle surfactants formed by interactions between functionalized nanoparticles and polymeric ligands. Hydrogen-bonded POSS surfactants are more stable at the interface, offering some unique advantages for generating Pickering emulsions over typical micron-sized colloidal particles and ligand-stabilized nanoparticle surfactants.

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.

Abstract
The mechanisms of granular octenyl succinate anhydride (GOSA) and dissolved OSA (DOSA) starches in emulsion stabilization were investigated. In general, DOSA starch offered better emulsification activity by generating greater ζ-potential, lower particle size as well as long-term stability in comparison to GOSA starch of close degree of substitution (DS). A compact interface in DOSA starches was determined, resulting from an increased surface loading value of 2.37 mg/m2 in comparison to that of GOSA of 1.6 mg/m2. Additionally, the irreversibly adsorbed and predominantly elastic interface of both DOSA and GOSA starches indicated that the DOSA starch may be a Pickering emulsifier rather than a biopolymer surfactant. This assumption was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Spherical micelles with average diameters of 100 nm were observed above the critical micelle concentration of 1 mg/mL. Moreover, samples G28 (representing DS of 0.028), D28, G16, and D16 could reach equilibrium interfacial tensions of 19.4, 16.5, 20.0, and 19.3 mN/m, respectively. However, due to the misleading contact angle as a result of rough surfaces and nonignorable gravity of GOSA starch, the energy escape equation failed to be employed in this study.

Abstract
Emulsion polymerization is a versatile approach to produce different polymeric nanoparticle morphologies, which can be useful in a variety of applications. However, the detailed mechanism of the morphology formation is not entirely clear. We study the kinetics of nanoparticle morphology evolution during a seeded emulsion polymerization using both experimental and computational tools. Lightly crosslinked polystyrene seeds were first synthesized using dispersion polymerization. Then the seed particles were swollen in tert-butyl acrylate and styrene monomers, and subsequently polymerized into nanoparticles of dumbbell and multilobe morphologies. It was discovered that both the seed and final particle morphology were affected by the methanol concentration during the seed synthesis. Systematically adjusting the methanol amount will not only yield spherical seed particles of different size, but also dumbbell particles even without the second monomer polymerization. In addition to methanol concentration, morphology can be controlled by crosslinking density. The kinetics studies revealed an interesting transition from multilobe to dumbbell geometries during the secondary polymerization. Based on the results, a nucleation-growth model has been proposed to describe the morphology evolution and verification was offered by computer simulation. The key discovery is that nanoparticle morphology can be kinetically controlled by diffusion of the protrusions on the seed particles. The condition of seed synthesis and crosslinking density will drastically change the seed and final nanoparticle morphology.

Abstract
Synthetic amphiphiles used for managing large-scale oil spills have a toxic impact on the environment and marine life. Developing new oil spill recovery technologies is critical to minimize the environmental and ecological impact of such disasters. Here, we show that a mixture of lignin nanoparticles and 1-pentanol forms a biocompatible alternative to nondegradable, synthetic amphiphiles used for oil spill recovery. The pentanol in the mixture generates initial Marangoni flow and confines the spilled oil into a thick slick on the surface of water. While the alcohol solubilizes, lignin nanoparticles irreversibly adsorb onto the oil-water interface. We find that the lignin nanoparticle adsorption to the oil-water interface is governed by a combination of electrostatic, van der Waals, and hydrophobic interactions between the particles and the interface. These interactions, combined with interparticle electrostatic repulsion between nanoparticles adsorbed at the oil-water interface, drive the formation of a submonolayer. The submonolayer transforms into a film of jammed nanoparticles due to compressive stress acting on the interface upon the solubilization of pentanol. This interfacial layer of lignin nanoparticles restricts oil from respreading and locks the oil in its confined state. The herded state of the oil with the interfacial layer of nanoparticles facilitates safe removal of the spilled oil using mechanical methods. The study presents a new principle of using a mixture of heavy alcohol and biocompatible nanoparticles for oil herding applications, thus providing an ecofriendly alternative to oil spill recovery.

Abstract
In the past few decades, novel syntheses of a wide range of nanoparticles (NPs) with well-defined chemical composition and structure have opened tremendous opportunities in areas ranging from optical and electronic devices to biomedical markers. Controlling the assembly of such well-defined NPs is important to effectively harness their unique properties. The assembly of NPs at liquid-liquid interfaces is becoming a central topic both in surface and colloid science. Hierarchical structures, including 2D films, 3D capsules, and structured liquids, have been generating significant interest and are showing promise for physical, chemical, and biological applications. Here, a brief overview of the development of the self-assembly of NPs at liquid-liquid interfaces is provided, from theory to experiment, from synthetic NPs to bio-nanoparticles, from water-oil to water-water, and from "liquid-like" to "solid-like" assemblies.

Abstract
Particulate materials are becoming increasingly used in the literature for medical applications, but translation to the clinical setting has remained challenging as many particle systems face challenges from in vivo barriers. Multicompartmental particles that can incorporate several materials in an individual particle may allow for more intricate control and addressing of issues that otherwise standard particles are unable to. Here, some of the advances made in the use of multicompartmental particles for medical applications are briefly described.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) using {Mo72V30} as an example, dissolved in water, can interact with amine-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS-NH2) dissolved in toluene at the water/toluene interface to form POM-surfactants that significantly lower the interfacial tension and can be used to stabilize liquids via interfacial elasticity. The jamming of the POM-surfactants at the water/oil interface with consequent wrinkling occurs with a decrease in the interfacial area. The packing density of the POM-surfactants at the interface can be tuned by varying the strength of screening with the addition of cations with differing hydrated radii.
