Abstract
Membrane-based separation is one of the most energy-efficient methods to meet the growing need for a significant amount of fresh water. It is also well-known for its applications in water treatment, desalination, solvent recycling, and environmental remediation. Most typical membranes used for separation-based applications are thin-film composite membranes created using polymers, featuring a top selective layer generated by employing the interfacial polymerization technique at an aqueous-organic interface. In the last decade, various manufacturing techniques have been developed in order to create high-specification membranes. Among them, the creation of ultrathin polyamide membranes has shown enormous potential for achieving a significant increase in the water permeation rate, translating into major energy savings in various applications. However, this great potential of ultrathin membranes is greatly hindered by undesired transport phenomena such as the geometry-induced "funnel effect" arising from the substrate membrane, severely limiting the actual permeation rate. As a result, the separation capability of ultrathin membranes is still not fully unleashed or understood, and a critical assessment of their limitations and potential solutions for future studies is still lacking. Here, we provide a summary of the latest developments in the design of ultrathin polyamide membranes, which have been achieved by controlling the interfacial polymerization process and utilizing a number of novel manufacturing processes for ionic and molecular separations. Next, an overview of the in-depth assessment of their limitations resulting from the substrate membrane, along with potential solutions and future perspectives will be covered in this review.

Abstract
Thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes have a wide range of applications in forward osmosis, but tuning the water flux remains a significant challenge due to concentration polarization. The generation of nano-sized voids within the polyamide rejection layer can change the roughness of the membrane. In this experiment, the micro-nano structure of the PA rejection layer was adjusted by adding sodium bicarbonate to the aqueous phase to generate nano-bubbles, and the changes of its roughness with the addition of sodium bicarbonate were systematically demonstrated. With the enhanced nano-bubbles, more and more blade-like and band-like features appeared on the PA layer, which could effectively reduce the reverse solute flux of the PA layer and improve the salt rejection of the FO membrane. The increase in roughness raised the area of the membrane surface, which led to a larger area for concentration polarization and reduced the water flux. This experiment demonstrated the variation of roughness and water flux, providing an effective idea for the preparation of high-performance FO membranes.

Abstract
Biocides are compounds that are broadly used to protect products and equipment against microbiological damage. Encapsulation can effectively increase physicochemical stability and allow for controlled release of encapsulated biocides. We categorized microencapsulation into coacervation, sol-gel, and self-assembly methods. The former comprises internal phase separation, interfacial polymerization, and multiple emulsions, and the latter include polymersomes and layer-by-layer techniques. The focus of this review is the description of these categories based on their microencapsulation methods and mechanisms. We discuss the key features and potential applications of each method according to the characteristics of the biocide to be encapsulated, relating the solubility of biocides to the capsule-forming materials, the reactivity between them and the desired release rate. The role of encapsulation in the safety and toxicity of biocide applications is also discussed. Furthermore, future perspectives for biocide applications and encapsulation techniques are presented.

Abstract
Interfacial polymerization, where a chemical reaction is confined at the liquid-liquid or liquid-air interface, exhibits a strong advantage for the controllable fabrication of films, capsules, and fibers for use as separation membranes and electrode materials. Recent developments in technology and polymer chemistry have brought new vigor to interfacial polymerization. Here, we consider the history of interfacial polymerization in terms of the polymerization types: interfacial polycondensation, interfacial polyaddition, interfacial oxidative polymerization, interfacial polycoordination, interfacial supramolecular polymerization, and some others. The accordingly emerging functional materials are highlighted, as well as the challenges and opportunities brought by new technologies for interfacial polymerization. Interfacial polymerization will no doubt keep on developing and producing a series of fascinating functional materials.

Abstract
Surface roughness and the associated nanosized voids inside the roughness structures have great influence on the separation performance of thin film composite polyamide reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. Inspired by the recent findings that these voids are formed due to the degassing of CO2 nanobubbles during interfacial polymerization, we systematically investigated the role of carbonate chemistry, particularly the solubility of CO2, in the aqueous m-phenylenediamine (MPD) solution for the first time. "Ridge-and-valley" roughness features were obtained when the pH of the MPD solution was between the two acidity constants of the carbonate system (i.e., 6.3 ≤ pH ≤ 10.3), under which condition HCO3- dominates over the other carbonate species. Increasing pH over this range led to both increased water permeability and better rejection of various solutes, thanks to the simultaneously enhanced effective filtration area and cross-linking degree of the polyamide layer. Further increase of pH to 12.5 resulted in more disparate rejection results due to membrane hydrolysis: rejection of neural solutes (B and As(III)) was compromised whereas that of charged solutes (NaCl and As(V)) was maintained. The mechanistic insights gained in the current study reveal the critical need to design RO membranes directly for end applications based on first principles.

Abstract
Controlled growth of crosslinked polyamide (PA) thin films is demonstrated at the interface of a monomer-soaked hydrogel and an organic solution of the complementary monomer. Termed gel-liquid interfacial polymerization (GLIP), the resulting PA films are measured to be chemically and mechanically analogous to the active layer in thin film composite membranes. PA thin films are prepared using the GLIP process on both a morphologically homogeneous hydrogel prepared from poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (PHEMA) and a phase-separated, heterogeneous hydrogel prepared from poly(acrylamide) (PAAm). Two monomer systems are examined: trimesoyl chloride (TMC) reacting with m-phenylene diamine (MPD) and TMC reacting with piperazine (PIP). Unlike the self-limiting growth behavior in TFC membrane fabrication, diffusion-limited, continuous growth of the PA films is observed, where both the thickness and roughness of the PA layers increase with reaction time. A key morphological difference is found between the two monomer systems using the GLIP process: TMC/MPD produces a ridge-and-valley surface morphology whereas TMC/PIP produces nodule/granular structures. The GLIP process represents a unique opportunity to not only explore the pore characteristics (size, spacing, and continuity) on the resulting structure and morphology of interfacially polymerized thin films, but also a method to modify the surface of (or encapsulate) hydrogels.

Abstract
A range of academic and industrial fields exploit interfacial polymerization in producing fibers, capsules, and films. Although widely used, measurements of reaction kinetics remain challenging and rarely reported, due to film thinness and reaction rapidity. Here, polyamide film formation is studied using microfluidic interferometry, measuring monomer concentration profiles near the interface during the reaction. Our results reveal that the reaction is initially controlled by a reaction-diffusion boundary layer within the organic phase, which allows the first measurements of the rate constant for this system.

Abstract
AbstractEncapsulation offers broad scope of applications. It can be used to deliver almost everything from advanced drugs to unique consumer sensory experiences; it could be also employed as a protection system or a sensing material. This cutting-edge technology undergoes rapid growth in both academic and industrial conditions. Research in this matter is continuing to find a new application of microcapsules as well as to improve the methods of their fabrication. Therefore, in this review, we focus on the art of the encapsulation technology to provide the readers with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of up-to-day development of microcapsule preparation methods. Our goal is to help identify the major encapsulation processes and by doing so maximize the potential value of ongoing research efforts.

Abstract
Natural polyphenols are valuable compounds possessing scavenging properties towards radical oxygen species, and complexing properties towards proteins. These abilities make polyphenols interesting for the treatment of various diseases like inflammation or cancer, but also for anti-ageing purposes in cosmetic formulations, or for nutraceutical applications. Unfortunately, these properties are also responsible for a lack in long-term stability, making these natural compounds very sensitive to light and heat. Moreover, polyphenols often present a poor biodisponibility mainly due to low water solubility. Lastly, many of these molecules possess a very astringent and bitter taste, which limits their use in food or in oral medications. To circumvent these drawbacks, delivery systems have been developed, and among them, encapsulation would appear to be a promising approach. Many encapsulation methods are described in the literature, among which some have been successfully applied to plant polyphenols. In this review, after a general presentation of the large chemical family of plant polyphenols and of their main chemical and biological properties, encapsulation processes applied to polyphenols are classified into physical, physico-chemical, chemical methods, and other connected stabilization methods. After a brief description of each encapsulation process, their applications to polyphenol encapsulation for pharmaceutical, food or cosmetological purposes are presented.

Abstract
Interfacial polymerization is widely used today for the production of ultrathin films for encapsulation, chemical separations, and desalination. Polyamide films, in particular, are employed in manufacturing of reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes. While these materials show excellent salt rejection, they have rather low water permeability, both properties that apparently stem from the rigid cross-linked structure. An increasing amount of experimental research on membranes of different chemistries and membrane characterization suggests the importance of other factors (such as unreacted functional groups and surface roughness) in determining membrane performance. We developed a molecular simulation model to qualitatively study the effects of various synthesis conditions on membrane performance, in terms of its estimated porosity and permeability. The model is of an interfacial aggregation process of two types of functional monomers. Film growth with time and structural characteristics of the final film are compared with predictions of existing theories and experimental observations.

Abstract
For decades scientists have been working on closed systems for transportation, catalysis and protection, which are inspired by natural cells. Only recently polymer based systems have emerged for these systems, since they are more robust, give protection from the environment and give a more stable membrane. Various methods have been developed to prepare polymer based capsules. They can be made by self-assembly, templating, in situ polymerization or precipitation. Their application has been explored in various areas e.g. drug delivery, diagnostics, sensors and nano reactors. Considering the output in this field has substantially grown, more developments can be expected from this latter application.

Abstract
The encapsulation of organic liquids in polyurethane nanocapsules by interfacial miniemulsion polycondensation of isophorone diisocyanate and propanetriol has been performed. The influence of type and amount of encapsulated organic liquid has been studied and it was found that the encapsulation efficiency is dependent on the water solubility of the organic liquids, their interfacial tension against water and their compatibility with polyurethane. It was also shown how different types of surfactants and variations in pH and ionic strength of the continuous phase affected the stability during polymerization and the diameter of the miniemulsion droplets and the resulting nanocapsules. The long-chained anionic surfactant Disponil FES77 can be utilized over a larger pH range than SDS due to the contribution of steric stabilization. Relatively narrow size distributions were obtained.

Abstract
Jojoba oil containing polyamide microcapsules having diameter of approximately 5 microm were prepared by inter-facial polycondensation by direct method (oil-in-water). Qualitative effects of both the formulation and the process parameters on microcapsules characteristics were investigated by SEM observations. Morphological analysis showed the dependence of the external membrane compactness on the chemical nature of the water-soluble polyamine and the oil-soluble acid polychloride: 1,6-hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) and terephthaloyl dichloride (TDC) were found to favour the production of smooth and dense surfaces. The use of ultrasonic irradiations during the dispersion step to get a further reduction of microcapsules size was also evaluated.
