Abstract
Interactions between polymers (P) and surfactants (S) in aqueous solution lead to interfacial and aggregation phenomena that are not only of great interest in physical chemistry but also important for many industrial applications, such as the development of detergents and fabric softeners. Here, we synthesized two ionic derivatives-sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) and quaternized cellulose (QC)-from cellulose recycled from textile wastes and then explored the interactions of these polymers with assorted surfactants-cationic (CTAB, gemini), anionic (SDS, SDBS) and nonionic (TX-100)-commonly used in the textile industry. We obtained surface tension curves of the P/S mixtures by fixing the polymer concentration and then increasing the surfactant concentration. In mixtures where polymer and surfactant are oppositely charged (P-/S+ and P+/S-), a strong association is observed, and from the surface tension curves, we determined the critical aggregation concentration (cac) and critical micelle concentration in the presence of polymer (cmcp). For mixtures of similar charge (P+/S+ and P-/S-), virtually no interactions are observed, with the notable exception of the QC/CTAB system, which is much more surface active than the neat CTAB. We further investigated the effect of oppositely charged P/S mixtures on hydrophilicity by measuring the contact angles of aqueous droplets on a hydrophobic textile substrate. Significantly, both P-/S+ and P+/S- systems greatly enhance the hydrophilicity of the substrate at much lower surfactant concentrations than the surfactant alone (in particular in the QC/SDBS and QC/SDS systems).

Abstract
Chitosan (Chi) and anionic surfactant derived from lysine (77KS) were used to prepare a novel bioactive coating and as a drug delivery system for amoxicillin (AMOX) on a model polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface. The bioactive coating was formulated as polyelectrolyte-surfactant complex (PESC). Aggregation behaviour between the cationic Chi and oppositely charged 77KS in bulk was analysed using turbidity and ζ-potential measurement. Furthermore, the adsorption and stability of the formulations were evaluated using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). The effect of the ionic strength and of the ultraviolet/ozone (UVO) activation of the PDMS films on the adsorption behaviour of the PESC complex was also examined. QCM-D monitoring showed stable adsorption of bare and AMOX-loaded complex on non-activated PDMS films, while the coating on UVO-activated PDMS samples desorbed after the rinsing step. Finally, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry confirmed successful and homogenously distributed compounds.

Abstract
Innovation in the structure of surfactants is crucial to the construction of a surfactant-based system with intriguing properties. With dehydroabietic acid as a starting material, a nearly totally rigid azobenzene surfactant (R-azo-Na) was synthesized. The trans-R-azo-Na formed stable foams with half-lives of 636, 656, 976, and 872 min for 0.3, 1, 2, and 4 mmol·L-1 aqueous solutions, respectively. Under UV light irradiation, a fast collapse of the foams was observed, showing an in situ response. The excellent foam stability of trans-R-azo-Na leads to the extremely high photoresponsive efficiency. As revealed by dynamic surface tension and pulsed-field gradient NMR methods, an obvious energy barrier existed in the adsorption/desorption process of trans-R-azo-Na on the air/water interface. The foams formed by trans-R-azo-Na are thus stable against coarsening processes. The results reveal the unique photoresponsive behavior of a surfactant with a rigid hydrophobic skeleton and provide new insights into the structure causing aggregation of surfactants.

Abstract
Polyamidoamine dendrimers (PAMAM) represent a new class of hyperbranched, monodisperse, three-dimensional polymers with unique properties, which make them very promising carriers of antimicrobial agents. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of PAMAM-NH₂ dendrimers generation two (G2) or three (G3) on physicochemical characteristics and structure of hydrogels with a model antibacterial lipophilic drug-erythromycin-commonly used in topical applications. From the obtained rheograms, it can be concluded that tested hydrogels were non-Newtonian thixotropic systems with shear-thinning behaviour. The dissolution tests revealed that erythromycin was definitely faster released from formulations containing PAMAM-NH₂ in concentration and generation dependent manner. However, the addition of PAMAM-NH₂ to hydrogels evoked only slight improvement of their antibacterial activity. It was also shown that the structure of hydrogels changed in the presence of PAMAM-NH₂ becoming less compact, diversified and more porous. Designed hydrogels with PAMAM-NH₂ G2 or G3 were stable stored up to three months at 40 ± 2 °C and 75% ± 5% RH.
