Article Abstract
In this study, polymerized silicone surfactants were modified with polyether and tertiary amine groups with the aim of improving the surface performance. Various PSiEO/(PO)-OH(CH) surfactants were synthesized and their structures and performance were characterized through H NMR, FTIR spectroscopy, static surface tension, dynamic surface tension, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering measurements. Subsequently, the modified silicones were incorporated as surfactants in aqueous solutions with different pH values. The surfactants with different hydrophobic/hydrophilic groups and end-capping groups exhibited different surface performances over a wide pH range. Thermodynamic parameters indicated that the micellization and adsorption of these surfactants were endothermic and spontaneous processes driven by entropy. The processes were hindered by increasing the solution pH and modification with hydrophobic groups. The aggregation behavior was significantly different under acidic, neutral, and basic aqueous conditions.

We built a custom device to subject an antibody fragment A33 Fab to controlled stress conditions that combined pH, temperature, agitation, and LED-based light exposure in polypropylene microplates; to simulate the real-world challenges it may encounter during storage and transportation and to evaluate the key degradation routes in Fab formulations. We also explored the addition of Tween 80 as a surfactant and the impact of plate surface siliconisation. Monomer loss and fragmentation was monitored by size-exclusion chromatography, aggregate formation determined by changes in hydrodynamic radius in DLS, and chemical modifications identified through intact mass analysis by LC-MS, and N-terminal sequencing.

To evaluate the bubble-eliminating efficacy and safety of simethicone when used for gastrointestinal preparation before pediatric endoscopy. We conducted a comprehensive Literature search from inception to April 5, 2025, in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane library, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese VIP Information Database, and Wan Fang Med Database. For the quantitative analysis, mean difference (MD) was used to assess continuous outcomes and risk ratio for dichotomous outcomes.

Magnetorheological fluid exhibits shear-thinning behavior when subjected to high temperature environments exceeding 100 °C, which will significantly compromise the operational stability and reliability of the associated mechanical systems. To enhance the performance of magnetorheological fluid, this study selects soft magnetic particles, base carrier fluid, and surfactants based on their resistance to high temperatures and shear-thinning effects. A novel magnetorheological fluid with enhanced thermal stability and shear stability is subsequently developed by carefully selecting flake-shaped carbonyl iron powder, dimethyl silicone oil, and surfactant exhibiting both sedimentation stability and high temperature resistance.

Hypothesis: Liquid-liquid encapsulation enables rapid wrapping of liquid core droplets using liquid interfacial layer(s) floating on a host liquid bath, but is conventionally limited to shell-forming liquids lighter than the host bath and suffers from uncontrolled lateral spreading of the interfacial layer. We hypothesize that introducing a simple hydrophobic loop at the air-host liquid interface will (i) anchor denser interfacial liquids by interfacial pinning, circumventing the density constraint, and (ii) confine lateral spread, allowing thicker films to form from the same volume of the interfacial layer and improving process control.
Experiments: Encapsulation experiments were performed using two hydrophobic loops placed one at a time at the surface of deionized water or surfactant-laden aqueous baths.

Fluid/fluid interfaces stabilized with strongly adsorbed solid nanoparticles are implemented in industries including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food science. Solid particles at the interface result in complex interfacial mechanics, which are highly dependent on interfacial particle behavior and bulk properties of both fluid phases. Many interfacial studies have been conducted characterizing the effects of the aqueous fluid properties such as particle chemistry, pH, temperature, salinity, and the impact of surfactant and other additives on interfacial mechanics and adsorption behavior.
