Abstract
Ophioglossum vulgatum L. (O. vulgatum) is a species of fern used in traditional Chinese medicine, however, its application in cosmetics has not yet been studied. This study obtained O. vulgatum extract using 70% ethanol solution and evaporation. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) analysis identified many active components in O. vulgatum extract, such as polyols, amino acids, and flavonoids. A Pickering emulsion of O. vulgatum extract was also prepared, stabilized by a type of carbon dot based on l-arginine (CDs-Arg). The prepared Pickering emulsion was characterized by metallographic microscope and contact angle measurement. The results demonstrated that it was a pH-responsive O/W emulsion. Facial cleanser was then created using the prepared Pickering emulsion as the main component. When squeezed onto hands, the cleanser produced many delicate foams and caused no skin irritation. The prepared Pickering emulsion facilitated the use of O. vulgatum in facial cleanser.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:8656. [PMID: 37896749 PMCID: PMC10611091 DOI: 10.3390/s23208656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used extensively in plastics and resins. However, its endocrine-disrupting properties pose risks to human health and the environment. Thus, accurate and rapid detection of BPA is crucial for exposure monitoring and risk mitigation. Molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensors (MIES) have emerged as a promising tool for BPA detection due to their high selectivity, sensitivity, affordability, and portability. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in MIES for BPA detection. We discuss the operating principles, fabrication strategies, materials, and methods used in MIES. Key findings show that MIES demonstrate detection limits comparable or superior to conventional methods like HPLC and GC-MS. Selectivity studies reveal excellent discrimination between BPA and structural analogs. Recent innovations in nanomaterials, novel monomers, and fabrication techniques have enhanced sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. However, limitations exist in reproducibility, selectivity, and stability. While challenges remain, MIES provide a low-cost portable detection method suitable for on-site BPA monitoring in diverse sectors. Further optimization of sensor fabrication and characterization will enable the immense potential of MIES for field-based BPA detection.

Abstract
A novel, molecularly imprinted, upconversion fluorescence probe (UCNP@MIFP) for sulfonamide sensing was fabricated by Pickering emulsion polymerization using UCNP@SiO2 particles as the stabilizer and sulfamethazine/sulfamerazine as the co-templates. The synthesis conditions of the UCNP@MIFP were optimized, and the synthesized probe was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, thermogravimetric analyzer, and fluorescence spectrometer. The UCNP@MIFPs showed a good adsorption capacity and a fast kinetic feature for the template. The selectivity experiment revealed that the UCNP@MIFP has a broad-spectrum molecular recognition capability. Good linear relationships were obtained over the concentration range of 1-10 ng/mL for sulfamerazine, sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole, and sulfafurazole, with low limits of detection in the range of 1.37-2.35 ng/mL. The prepared UCNP@MIFP has the potential to detect four sulfonamide residues in food and environmental water.

Abstract
Double emulsions are complex emulsion systems with a wide range of applications across different fields, such as pharmaceutics, food and beverage, materials sciences, personal care, and dietary supplements. Conventionally, surfactants are required for the stabilization of double emulsions. However, due to the emerging need for more robust emulsion systems and the growing trends for biocompatible and biodegradable materials, Pickering double emulsions have attracted increasing interest. In comparison to double emulsions stabilized solely by surfactants, Pickering double emulsions possess enhanced stability due to the irreversible adsorption of colloidal particles at the oil/water interface, while adopting desired environmental-friendly properties. Such advantages have made Pickering double emulsions rigid templates for the preparation of various hierarchical structures and as potential encapsulation systems for the delivery of bioactive compounds. This article aims to provide an evaluation of the recent advances in Pickering double emulsions, with a special focus on the colloidal particles employed and the corresponding stabilization strategies. Emphasis is then devoted to the applications of Pickering double emulsions, from encapsulation and co-encapsulation of a wide range of active compounds to templates for the fabrication of hierarchical structures. The tailorable properties and the proposed applications of such hierarchical structures are also discussed. It is hoped that this perspective paper will serve as a useful reference on Pickering double emulsions and will provide insights toward future studies in the fabrication and applications of Pickering double emulsions.

Abstract
It is difficult to disperse graphene flakes well in an aqueous solution while maintaining conductivity due to its high hydrophobicity. Herein, we demonstrated that a well-dispersed state of graphene in an aqueous solution was realized by using reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with a suitable content of oxygen-functional groups. A rGO-dispersed graphene (rGO/G) film was fabricated from the graphene dispersion with good conductivity by using rGO with a C/O ratio of 2.48 as the surfactant. Also, the prepared rGO/G aerogel has a broad prospect. Density functional theory calculation revealed that the strong electrostatic repulsion, which was more potent than the van der Waals force and the π-π interaction, was the primary driving force promoting the dispersibility of graphene in an aqueous solution. Furthermore, the repulsion of the rGO/G dispersion decreased with the reduction of the oxygen-functional groups of rGO. Therefore, applying rGO with an appropriate content of oxygen-functional groups is an alternative option to improve the dispersibility of graphene in an aqueous medium while maintaining its original properties, from which many potential applications could be expected.

Abstract
There has been increasing interest in colloidal particles adsorbed at the air-water interface, which lead to stabilization of aqueous foams and liquid marbles. The wettability of the particles at the interface is known to play an important role in determining the type of air/water dispersed system. Foams are preferably formed using relatively hydrophilic particles, and liquid marbles tend to be formed using relatively hydrophobic particles. In this study, submicrometer-sized polystyrene particles carrying poly(N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate) hairs (PDEA-PS particles), which are synthesized by dispersion polymerization, are demonstrated to work as a particulate stabilizer for both aqueous foams and liquid marbles. A key point for the hydrophilic PDEA-PS particles to stabilize both aqueous foams and liquid marbles, which have been generally stabilized with hydrophilic and hydrophobic particles, respectively, is the wetting mode of the particles with respect to water. The flocculates of PDEA-PS particles adsorb to the air-water interface from the aqueous phase to stabilize foam in a Wenzel mode, and the dried PDEA-PS particles adsorb to the interface as aggregates from the air phase to stabilize liquid marbles in a metastable Cassie-Baxter mode. On the basis of the difference in the wetting mode, stabilization of an air-in-water-in-air multiple gas-liquid dispersed system, named "foam marble", is realized. After the evaporation of water from the foam marble, a porous sphere is successfully obtained with pore sizes of a few tens of micrometers (reflecting the bubble sizes) and a few tens of nanometers (reflecting the gap sizes among the PDEA-PS particles).
