Abstract
Polyetheramine (PEA) is a swelling inhibitor used to address engineering challenges arising from the interaction between montmorillonite (Mt) and water. This study comprehensively investigates the adsorption characteristics of PEA on three representative expansive clay samples: Na-Mt, Ca-Mt, and engineered expansive soil. Additionally, the desorption of exchangeable ions is examined. The findings reveal that a two-stage adsorption kinetic model and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model can properly describe the adsorption kinetics of PEA on expansive clays. PEA exhibits a strong capacity for ion exchange with sodium ions, while the exchange capacity for calcium ions is limited. Both protonated and non-protonated PEA contribute to rapid adsorption processes. The adsorption isotherms are well-fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models, with the Langmuir model being reasonable. At lower equilibrium concentrations, a higher proportion of the adsorption amount is attributed to ion exchange compared to higher equilibrium concentrations. Ion exchange emerges as the primary factor contributing to the adsorption of PEA on Na-Mt, whereas the adsorption of PEA on Ca-Mt and expansive soil is primarily attributed to physical adsorption by non-protonated PEA. X-ray diffraction results reveal significant intercalation effects of PEA as they penetrate the interlayer space and hinder interlayer ion hydration. Fourier transform infrared spectrum results demonstrate that the adsorption of PEA minimally impacts the framework of Mt structural units but primarily reduces the adsorbed water content. Clay-PEA composites exhibit a decreased affinity for water. Zeta potential experiments indicate that the adsorption of PEA significantly diminishes the surface potential of clay-PEA composite particles, effectively inhibiting their hydration dispersion.

Abstract
Antioxidant composites based on nanozymes [manganese oxide microflakes (MnO2 MFs) and cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs)] were formulated by controlled heteroaggregation. The interparticle attraction via electrostatic forces was systematically tuned with surface functionalization by the poly(diallyldimethyl chloride) (PDADMAC) polyelectrolyte. The PDADMAC-coated MnO2 MFs (PMn) were heteroaggregated with oppositely charged CeO2 NPs to generate the Ce-PMn composite, while the PDADMAC-functionalized CeO2 NPs (PCe) were immobilized onto bare MnO2 MFs, resulting in the Mn-PCe composite. Both the adsorption of PDADMAC and the self-assembly of oppositely charged particles resulted in charge neutralization and charge reversal at appropriately high doses. The interparticle force regimes, the aggregation states, and the physicochemical properties of the relevant dispersions were also highly dependent on the dose of PDADMAC, as well as that of PDADMAC-functionalized metal oxides (PMO) enabling the fine-tuning and control of colloidal stability. The individual enzyme-like activity of either metal oxide was not compromised by PDADMAC adsorption and/or heteroaggregation, leading to the formation of broad-spectrum antioxidant composites exhibiting multiple enzyme-like activities such as superoxide dismutase, oxidase, and peroxidase-type functions. The low cost and ease of preparation, as well as controllable colloidal properties render such composites potential enzyme mimicking agents in various industrial fields, where processable antioxidant systems are needed.

Topical Delivery of Artemisone, Clofazimine and Decoquinate Encapsulated in Vesicles and Their In vitro Efficacy Against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. AAPS PharmSciTech 2019; 20:33. [PMID: 30604176 DOI: 10.1208/s12249-018-1251-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2018] [Accepted: 11/18/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Vesicles are widely investigated as carrier systems for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). For topical delivery, they are especially effective since they create a "depot-effect" thereby concentrating the APIs in the skin. Artemisone, clofazimine and decoquinate were selected as a combination therapy for the topical treatment of cutaneous tuberculosis. Delivering APIs into the skin presents various challenges. However, utilising niosomes, liposomes and transferosomes as carrier systems may circumvent these challenges. Vesicles containing 1% of each of the three selected APIs were prepared using the thin-film hydration method. Isothermal calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and hot-stage microscopy indicated no to minimal incompatibility between the APIs and the vesicle components. Encapsulation efficiency was higher than 85% for all vesicle dispersions. Vesicle stability decreased and size increased with an increase in API concentration; and ultimately, niosomes were found the least stable of the different vesicle types. Skin diffusion studies were subsequently conducted for 12 h on black human female skin utilising vertical Franz diffusion cells. Transferosomes and niosomes delivered the highest average concentrations of clofazimine and decoquinate into the skin, whereas artemisone was not detected and no APIs were present in the receptor phase. Finally, efficacy against tuberculosis was tested against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv laboratory strain. All the dispersions depicted some activity, surprisingly even the blank vesicles portrayed activity. However, the highest percentage inhibition (52%) against TB was obtained with niosomes containing 1% clofazimine.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS To obtain surfactants with superior surface activity and responsive behavior, "pseudogemini" surfactants (short for D-LCFA) are synthesized by mixing long chain fatty acids (LCFA) and polyetheramine D 230 at fixed molar ratio (2:1). Non-covalently bonded building blocks indicate that CO2-responsive aqueous foams can be obtained by utilizing such pseudogemini surfactants. EXPERIMENTS 1H NMR and FT-IR characterizations prove that the building blocks of these surfactants are associated by electrostatic interaction. The synthesis (Brønsted acid-base reaction) is simple and eco-friendly. "Pseudogemini" structure enables D-LCFA to reduce surface tension of aqueous solution effectively, thus facilitating foam generation. Rheograms, FF-TEM and Cryo-TEM results prove that different aggregates in D-LCFA aqueous solutions lead to different foam properties. FINDINGS Bubbling of CO2 for about 30 s leads to the rupture of aqueous foams generated by D-LCFA, while removing CO2 by bubbling of N2 at 65 °C for 10 min enables re-generation of foams. The CO2-responsive foaming properties can be attributed to dissociation of D-LCFA upon bubbling of CO2 and re-association upon removal of CO2. The effective CO2-responsive foams can be applied to many areas, such as foam fracturing, foam enhanced oil recovery or recovering of radioactive materials.

Abstract
Synthesized organobentonite (SOB), montmorillonite (MMT), and commercial organobentonite (COB) were used as adsorbents for paraffin oil, a model pollutant in land-based oil spills and oil pipeline rupture. The characterization of clays was carried out with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). After adsorption, oil was separated from adsorbents with a carbon dioxide responsive solvent N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine (DMCHA), and DMCHA was subsequently separated from paraffin oil upon CO2 bubbling instead of distillation with high energy cost. The adsorption capacity of oil to SOB, MMT, and COB was 0.686, 1.124, and 1.239 g/g, respectively. It was found that the adsorption capacity and rinsed amount of the adsorbents depended on the d-spacing, which is related to surfactant content. Electrical conductivity and pH measurements suggested that the separation process occurred via two steps. Firstly, during the initial 35 min, carbonate ions coexisted with bicarbonate ions. Then, only bicarbonate ions existed after the introduction of CO2 gas for 120 min. Thus, organobentonites were feasible for hydrocarbon adsorption and could be simply reused by an amine-based responsive solvent. This work provided a cost-effective and sustainable method of recycling of organobentonites and the responsive solvent, which can be used to deal with leaked oil and oil spills.

Abstract
The structural and rheological consequences of adsorbing pyrophosphate anions to the edges and polyetheramines to the faces of montmorillonite platelets in aqueous suspension were investigated. Oscillatory rheology and scattering experiments showed that the two surface treatments act in different regions of the phase diagram and that this can be attributed to modifications of local particle interactions resulting in changes to the behavior and morphology of platelet clusters. The polyetheramine was found to neutralize surface charge, reducing electrostatic repulsion between platelets and therefore allowing them to come into closer proximity. This reduces the effective volume fraction of the clusters and reverses jamming in low ionic strength arrested phases. Conversely, the adsorption of pyrophosphate was found to introduce a high concentration of negative charge to the particle edge, resisting the formation of bonded percolating gels at high ionic strength. The two separate surface chemistries can be applied in parallel with no adverse effects and thus have the potential to be applied to dual functionalization of two-dimensional colloids such as platelets. This has implications for finer formulation design where targeted rheology modification could be achieved by careful selection of chemistry at one surface accompanied by an additional function at the other.
