Abstract
Star polymers have been gaining interest due to their tunable properties. They have been used as effective stabilizers for Pickering emulsions. Herein, star polymers were synthesized via activators regenerated by electron transfer (ARGET) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with terminal α-bromoisobutyrate ATRP functionality was used as a macroinitiator and divinylbenzene as a crosslinker for the arm-first star synthesis. Stars with PEO arms with a molar mass of either 2 or 5 kDa had a relatively low density of grafted chains, i.e., ca. 0.25 chain/nm2. The properties of PEO stars adsorbed at oil-water interfaces were investigated using interfacial tension and interfacial rheology. The magnitude of interfacial tensions at oil-water interfaces depends on the nature of the oil phase, being lower at the m-xylene/water interface than at the n-dodecane/water interface. Small differences were observed for stars with different molecular weights of PEO arms. The overall behavior of PEO stars adsorbed at an interface can be considered as an intermediate between a particle and a linear/branched polymer. Obtained results offer an important insight into the interfacial rheology of PEO star polymers in the context of their application as stabilizers for Pickering emulsions.

Abstract
The tear film lipid layer (TFLL), the final layer of the human tear film is responsible for surface tension reduction while blinking, water evaporation retardation and maintaining the stability of the tear film. The study of the composition-structure-function relationship of TFLL is paramount, as a compromised structure of TFLL leads to the emergence of dry eye disease (DED) which is one the most prevalent ophthalmic surface diseases of the modern world, associated with chronic pain and reduced visual capability. In this model membrane study, a systematic approach is used to study the biophysical properties of TFLL model membranes as a function of composition. Three mixed-lipid model membranes are studied along with their individual components comprising cholesteryl oleate (CO), glyceryl trioleate (GT), L-α-phosphatidylcholine (egg PC) and a free fatty acid mixture. The models become progressively more complex from binary to quaternary mixtures, allowing the role of each individual lipid to be derived. Langmuir balance, Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM) and Profile Analysis Tensiometer (PAT) are used to study the surface activity and compression-expansion cycles, morphology, and rheological behaviour of the model membranes, respectively. Evidence of multilayering is observed with inclusion of CO and a reversible collapse is associated with the GT phase transition. An initially more coherent film is observed due to the addition of polar PC. Notably, these individual behaviours are retained in the mixed films and suggest a possible role for each physiological component of TFLL.

Abstract
Polymer/surfactant composites are used in industry as an excipient for water-insoluble solutes. Such enhanced dissolution ability of composite media is related to the spontaneous formation of pre-micellar polymer surfactant aggregates (PS) at a magnitude of order lower than the surfactant critical micelle concentration in water. Combining electrochemical and spectroscopic studies, we investigate the microscopic interfacial structure (i.e., interface electrostatics and surface polarity) of PS formed in composite media. We establish that in a composite system, a mere change in the polymer concentration at a fixed surfactant concentration makes possible to regulate the counter-ion binding ability, surface potential, surface charge density, packing and surface polarity of the PS interface. Our study shows that the higher dissolution of water-insoluble nonionic solutes in composite media is driven by the depressing of surface charge density and polarity of the PS interface. A similar modulation of the PS interface acts as a barrier for the passive relocation of water-soluble charged solutes into the PS pseudo-phase. The time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy study allows us to underline the effect of surface charge modulation on the dynamical aspects of solutes at the PS interface.

Abstract
Ozone exposure from environmental smog has been implicated as a risk factor for developing dry eye disease (DED). The tear film lipid layer (TFLL), which is the outermost layer of the tear film and responsible for surface tension reduction while blinking, is in direct contact with the environment and serves as the first line of defense against external aggressors such as environmental pollution. The impact of exposure to ozone on the biophysical properties of three TFLL model membranes was investigated. These model membranes include a binary mixture of cholesteryl oleate (CO) and L-α-phosphatidylcholine (egg PC), a ternary mixture of CO, glyceryl trioleate (GT) and PC, as well as a quaternary mixture of CO, GT, a mixture of free fatty acids palmitic acid and stearic acid (FFAs) and PC. Biophysical impacts were evaluated as changes to the surface activity, respreadability, morphology and viscoelastic properties of the films. Expansion to higher molecular areas was observed in all the TFLL model membrane films which is attributable to the accommodation of the cleaved chains in the film. Significant morphological changes were observed, namely fluidization and the disruption of the phase transition behaviour of GT, and multilayer formation of CO. This fluidization reduces the hysteresis loops for the model membranes. On the other hand, the viscoelastic properties of the films exhibited differential impacts from ozone exposure as a function of composition. These findings are correlated to chemical changes to the lipids determined using ESI-MS.

Abstract
The surface properties of saponin and saponin-chitosan mixtures were analysed as a function of their bulk mixing ratio using vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG), surface tensiometry and dilational rheology measurements. Our experiments show that saponin-chitosan mixtures present some remarkable properties, such as a strong amphiphilicity of the saponin and high dilational viscoelasticity. We believe this points to the presence of chitosan in the adsorption layer, despite its complete lack of surface activity. We explain this phenomenon by electrostatic interactions between the saponin as an anionic surfactant and chitosan as a polycation, leading to surface-active saponin-chitosan complexes and aggregates. Analysing the SFG intensity of the O-H stretching bands from interfacial water molecules, we found that in the case of pH 3.4 for a mixture consisting of 0.1 g/L saponin and 0.001 g/L chitosan, the adsorption layer was electrically neutral. This conclusion from SFG spectra is corroborated by results from surface tensiometry showing a significant reduction in surface tension and effects on the dilational surface elasticity strictly at saponin/chitosan ratios, where SFG spectra indicate zero net charge at the air-water interface.

Abstract
Polyelectrolytes adsorbed at soft interfaces are used in contexts such as materials synthesis, stabilization of emulsions, and control of rheology. Here, we explore how polyelectrolyte adsorption to aqueous interfaces of thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs) influences surfactant-stabilized aqueous microdroplets that are elastically trapped within the LCs. We find that adsorption of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) to the interface of a nematic phase of 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) triggers the ejection of microdroplets decorated with sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), consistent with an attractive electrical double layer interaction between the microdroplets and LC interface. The concentration of PDDA that triggers release of the microdroplets (millimolar), however, is three orders of magnitude higher than that which saturates the LC interfacial charge (micromolar). Observation of a transient reorientation of the LC during escape of microdroplets leads us to conclude that complexes of PDDA and SDS form at the LC interface and thereby regulate interfacial charge and microdroplet escape. Poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) also triggers escape of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)-decorated aqueous microdroplets from 5CB with dynamics consistent with the formation of interfacial polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes. In contrast to PDDA-SDS, however, we do not observe a transient reorientation of the LC when using PSS-DTAB, reflecting weak association of DTAB and PSS and slow kinetics of formation of PSS-DTAB complexes. Our results reveal the central role of polyelectrolyte-surfactant dynamics in regulating the escape of the microdroplets and, more broadly, that LCs offer the basis of a novel probe of the structure and properties of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes at interfaces. We demonstrate the utility of these new insights by triggering the ejection of microdroplets from LCs using peptide-polymer amphiphiles that switch their net charge upon being processed by enzymes. Overall, our results provide fresh insight into the formation of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes at aqueous-LC interfaces and new principles for the design of responsive soft matter.

Abstract
Micelles formed within coacervate phases can impart functional properties, but it is unclear if this micellization provides mechanical reinforcement of the coacervate whereby the micelles act as high functionality crosslinkers. Here, we examine how sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) influences the structure and properties of Pluronic F108-polyacrylic acid (PAA) coacervates as SDS is known to decrease the aggregation number of Pluronic micelles. Increasing the SDS concentration leads to larger water content in the coacervate and an increase in the relative concentration of PAA to the other solids. Rheological characterization with small angle oscillatory shear (SAOS) demonstrates that these coacervates are viscoelastic liquids with the moduli decreasing with the addition of the SDS. The loss factor (tan δ) initially increases linearly with the addition of SDS, but a step function increase in the loss factor occurs near the reported CMC of SDS. However, this change in rheological properties does not appear to be correlated with any large scale structural differences in the coacervate as determined by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) with no signature of Pluronic micelles in the coacervate when SDS concentration is >4 mM during formation of the coacervate, which is less than that observed (6 mM SDS) in initial Pluronic F108 solution despite the higher polymer concentration in the coacervate. These results suggest that the mechanical properties of polyelectrolyte-non-ionic surfactant coacervates are driven by the efficicacy of binding between the complexing species driving the coacervate, which can be disrupted by competitive binding of the SDS to the Pluronic.

Abstract
The relationship between the interfacial rheology of nanoparticle (NP) laden air-brine interfaces and NP adsorption and interparticle interactions is not well understood, particularly as a function of the surface chemistry and salinity. Herein, a nonionic ether diol on the surface of silica NPs provides steric stabilization in bulk brine and at the air-brine interface, whereas a second smaller underlying hydrophobic ligand raises the hydrophobicity to promote NP adsorption. The level of NPs adsorption at steady state is sufficient to produce an interface with a relatively strong elastic dilational modulus E' = dγ/d ln A. However, the interface is ductile with a relatively slow change in E' as the interfacial area is varied over a wide range during compression and expansion. In contrast, for silica NPs stabilized with only a single hydrophobic ligand, the interfaces are often more fragile and may fracture with small changes in area. The presence of concentrated divalent cations improves E' and ductility by screening electrostatic dipolar repulsion and strengthening the attractive forces between nanoparticles. The ability to tune the interfacial rheology with NP surface chemistry is of great interest for designing more stable gas/brine foams.

Abstract
Inclusion of polymer additives is a known strategy to improve foam stability, but questions persist about the amount of polymer incorporated in the foam and the resulting structural changes that impact material performance. Here, we study these questions in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) foams using a combination of flow injection QTOF mass spectrometry and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements leveraging contrast matching. Mass spectrometry results demonstrate polymer incorporation and retention in the foam during drainage by measuring the HPMC-to-SDS ratio. The results confirm a ratio matching the parent solution and stability over the time of our measurements. The SANS measurements leverage precise contrast matching to reveal detailed descriptions of the micellar structure (size, shape, and aggregation number) along with the foam film thickness. The presence of HPMC leads to thicker films, correlating with increased foam stability over the first 15-20 min after foam production. Taken together, mass spectrometry and SANS present a structural and compositional picture of SDS/HPMC foams and an approach amenable to systematic study for foams, gathering mechanistic insights and providing formulation guidance for rational foam design.

Abstract
The adsorption of mixtures formed by chitosan and sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) at the water/vapor interface has been studied on the basis of their impact on the equilibrium surface tension of the interface, and the response of such an interface to mechanical deformations. The analysis of the surfactant binding to the chitosan chains evidenced that the chitosan-SLES solutions were mixtures of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes and a non-negligible amount of free surfactant molecules. The interfacial properties showed two well-differentiated regions for interfacial adsorption as a function of the SLES concentration: (i) at a low surfactant concentration, co-adsorption of chitosan and SLES occurs, and (ii) at high concentrations, the surface is mostly occupied by SLES molecules. This behavior may be interpreted in terms of a complex equilibration mechanism of the interfacial layers, where different coupled dynamic processes may be involved. Furthermore, the use of the time-concentration superposition principle has confirmed the different dynamic behaviors of the chitosan-SLES adsorption as a function of the SLES concentration. This work sheds light on some of the most fundamental bases governing the physico-chemical behavior of mixtures formed by a biopolymer and a surfactant, where their complex behavior is governed by an intricate balance of bulk and interfacial interactions.

This work showcases the remarkable viscoelasticity of films consisting of α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and anionic surfactants (S) at the water/air interface, the magnitude of which has not been observed in similar systems. The anionic surfactants employed are sodium salts of a homologous series of n-alkylsulfates (n = 8-14) and of dodecylsulfonate. Our hypothesis was that the very high viscoelasticity can be systematically related to the bulk and interfacial properties of the system. Through resolution of the bulk distribution of species using isothermal titration calorimetry, the high dilatational modulus is related to (α-CD)2:S1 inclusion complexes in the bulk with respect to both the bulk composition and temperature. Direct interfacial characterization of α-CD and sodium dodecylsulfate films at 283.15 K using ellipsometry and neutron reflectometry reveals that the most viscoelastic films consist of a highly ordered monolayer of 2:1 complexes with a minimum amount of any other component. The orientation of the complexes in the films and their driving force for adsorption are discussed in the context of results from molecular dynamics simulations. These findings open up clear potential for the design of new functional materials or molecular sensors based on films with specific mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, optical or even magnetic properties.

Abstract
The assembly in solution of the cationic polymer poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and two different anionic surfactants, sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) and sodium N-lauroyl-N-methyltaurate (SLMT), has been studied. Additionally, the adsorption of the formed complexes at the water–vapor interface have been measured to try to shed light on the complex physico-chemical behavior of these systems under conditions close to that used in commercial products. The results show that, independently of the type of surfactant, polyelectrolyte-surfactant interactions lead to the formation of kinetically trapped aggregates in solution. Such aggregates drive the solution to phase separation, even though the complexes should remain undercharged along the whole range of explored compositions. Despite the similarities in the bulk behavior, the equilibration of the interfacial layers formed upon adsorption of kinetically trapped aggregates at the water–vapor interface follows different mechanisms. This was pointed out by surface tension and interfacial dilational rheology measurements, which showed different equilibration mechanisms of the interfacial layer depending on the nature of the surfactant: (i) formation layers with intact aggregates in the PDADMAC-SLMT system, and (ii) dissociation and spreading of kinetically trapped aggregates after their incorporation at the fluid interface for the PDADMAC-SLES one. This evidences the critical impact of the chemical nature of the surfactant in the interfacial properties of these systems. It is expected that this work may contribute to the understanding of the complex interactions involved in this type of system to exploit its behavior for technological purposes.

Abstract
The strong synergistic adsorption of mixed polymer/surfactant (P/S) systems at the oil/water interface shows promise for applications such as oil remediation and emulsion stabilization, especially with respect to the formation of tunable mesoscopic multilayers. There is some evidence that a combination of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and sodium poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) exhibits the adsorption of a secondary P/S layer, though the structure of this layer has long eluded researchers. The focus of this study is to determine whether the DTAB-assisted adsorption of PSS at the oil/water interface occurs as a single layer or with subsequent multilayers. The study presented uses vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy and interfacial tensiometry to determine the degree of PSS adsorption and orientation of its charged groups relative to the interface at three representative concentrations of DTAB. At low and intermediate DTAB concentrations, a single mixed DTAB/PSS monolayer adsorbs at the oil/water interface. No PSS adsorbs above the system critical micelle concentration. The interfacial charge is found to be similar to that of P/S complexes solvated in the aqueous solution. The surface adsorbate and P/S complexes in the bulk both exhibit a charge inversion at around the same DTAB concentration. This study demonstrates the importance of techniques which can differentiate between coadsorbing species and calls into question current models of P/S adsorption at an oil/water interface.

Abstract
The transport, equilibrium properties, and mechanics of stable, rodlike surfactant-polyelectrolyte aggregates, poly(cetyltrimethylammonium vinyl benzoate) or pCTVB, are characterized at air/water interfaces for bulk concentrations near and below the critical aggregation concentration. The surfactant drives the transport to air/water interfaces, while the polyelectrolyte provides elasticity to the coated interfaces and appears to remain adsorbed after the bulk solution is exchanged with water. The processing of interfaces is shown to allow the interfacial tension of the interface to be changed significantly while maintaining a high dilatational elasticity. The results of this work provide a tool to control interfacial properties through design of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes.

Abstract
Several interfacial phenomena are active during polymeric foaming, the dynamics of which significantly influence terminal stability, cell structure, and in turn the thermomechanical properties of temporally evolved foam. Understanding these dynamics is important in achieving desired foam properties. Here, we introduce a method to simultaneously portray the time evolution of bubble growth, lamella thinning, and plateau border drainage, occurring during reactive polymeric foaming. In this method, we initially conduct bulk and surface shear rheology under polymerizing and nonfoaming conditions. In a subsequent step, foaming experiments were conducted in a rheometer. The microscopic structural dimensions pertaining to the terminal values of the dynamics of each interfacial phenomena are then measured using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and imaging ellipsometry, after the foaming is over. The measured surface and bulk rheological parameters are incorporated in time evolution equations that are derived from mass and momentum transport occurring when a model viscoelastic fluid is foamed by gas dispersion. Analytical and numerical solutions to these equations portray the dynamics. We demonstrate this method for a series of reactive polyurethane foams generated from different chemical sources. The effectiveness of our method is in simultaneously obtaining these dynamics that are difficult to directly monitor because of short active durations over multiple length scales.

Abstract
The adsorption of concentrated poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC)-sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) mixtures at the water/vapor interface has been studied by different surface tension techniques and dilational viscoelasticity measurements. This work tries to shed light on the way in which the formation of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes in the bulk affects the interfacial properties of mixtures formed by a polycation and an oppositely charged surfactant. The results are discussed in terms of a two-step adsorption-equilibration of PDADMAC-SLES complexes at the interface, with the initial stages involving the diffusion of kinetically trapped aggregates formed in the bulk to the interface followed by the dissociation and spreading of such aggregates at the interface. This latter process becomes the main contribution to the surface tension decrease. This work aids our understanding of the most fundamental basis of the physicochemical behavior of concentrated polyelectrolyte-surfactant mixtures which present complex bulk and interfacial interactions with interest in both basic and applied sciences.

Abstract
The dispersed particle gel (DPG) three-phase foam is a novel profile control and flooding system. The stability mechanism of the DPG three-phase foam was studied using an interfacial dilational rheology method. The results show that the elastic modulus of the DPG three-phase foam is up to 14 mN/m, which is much higher than the traditional foam. The increase in interface elasticity produces significantly positive effects on foam stability. Emphasis is given to the influences of frequency, temperature, pressure, and concentration on the viscoelasticity and interfacial adsorption of DPG particles, which change the modules of the foam interface and have a significant effect on foam stability. In addition, the microstructure of the DPG three-phase foam was observed. A viscoelastic shell is formed by the aggregation of the DPG particles on the interface. The irreversible adsorption gives the interface high elasticity and mechanical strength. The electrostatic repulsion between particles increases the spacing between bubbles. The combined effects of these factors give the interface higher mechanical strength, slow down the film drainage, effectively prevent gas permeation, and significantly improve the foam stability.

Abstract
The dilatational properties of insoluble monolayers are important for understanding the mechanics of biological systems and consumer products, but isolating the dilatational response of an interface is challenging due to the difficulties in separating dilatation from shear and other deformation modes. Oscillations of a microscale bubble radius are useful for generating purely dilatational flows, but the current deposition methods for insoluble layers onto fluid interfaces are not easily scaled down. In this paper, we describe a miscible solvent exchange procedure for generating insoluble layers at an air-water interface pinned at the tip of a capillary tens of micrometers in diameter. We show that the amount of surfactant adsorbed at the interface can be controlled by the initial concentration dissolved in isopropanol (the starting solvent) and the volumetric flow rate of solvent exchange. Surface pressure-area isotherms and dilatational moduli are measured concurrently for three insoluble surfactants: palmitic acid (PA), dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The isotherms measured on the microscale interface compare well with previous experiments performed on a Langmuir trough. However, the magnitudes of the dilatational moduli differ from those measured on either Langmuir trough or pendant drop apparatuses. Several possible reasons for the observed differences are discussed. A comparison of the dilatational modulus with the Gibbs elasticity is used to determine the presence of dilatational extra stresses at the interface. The isotherm and dilatational modulus of the insoluble component of the industrial surfactant Tween 80 are measured using this approach. The methods developed here also open the possibility for future study of the important role of finite size effects on microstructure formation and the resulting interfacial mechanics.

Abstract
Proteins and their mixtures with surfactants are widely used in many applications. The knowledge of their solution bulk behavior and its impact on the properties of interfacial layers made great progress in the recent years. Different mechanisms apply to the formation process of protein/surfactant complexes for ionic and non-ionic surfactants, which are governed mainly by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The surface activity of these complexes is often remarkably different from that of the individual protein and has to be considered in respective theoretical models. At very low protein concentration, small amounts of added surfactants can change the surface activity of proteins remarkably, even though no strongly interfacial active complexes are observed. Also small added amounts of non-ionic surfactants change the surface activity of proteins in the range of small bulk concentrations or surface coverages. The modeling of the equilibrium adsorption behavior of proteins and their mixtures with surfactants has reached a rather high level. These models are suitable also to describe the high frequency limits of the dilational viscoelasticity of the interfacial layers. Depending on the nature of the protein/surfactant interactions and the changes in the interfacial layer composition rather complex dilational viscoelasticities can be observed and described by the available models. The differences in the interfacial behavior, often observed in literature for studies using different experimental methods, are at least partially explained by a depletion of proteins, surfactants and their complexes in the range of low concentrations. A correction of these depletion effects typically provides good agreement between the data obtained with different methods, such as drop and bubble profile tensiometry.

Abstract
The interest of polymer-surfactant systems has undergone a spectacular development in the last thirty years due to their complex behavior and their importance in different industrial sectors. The importance can be mainly associated with the rich phase behavior of these mixtures that confers a wide range of physico-chemical properties to the complexes formed by polymers and surfactants, both in bulk and at the interfaces. This latter aspect is especially relevant because of the use of their mixture for the stabilization of dispersed systems such as foams and emulsions, with an increasing interest in several fields such as cosmetic, food science or fabrication of controlled drug delivery structures. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of different aspects related to the phase behavior of these mixtures and their intriguing behavior after adsorption at the liquid/air interface. A discussion of some physical properties of the bulk is also included. The discussion clearly points out that much more work is needed for obtaining the necessary insights for designing polymer-surfactant mixtures for specific applications.
