Abstract
How to fabricate multiresponse worm-like micelles (WLMs) and the corresponding green disposal is still challenging. A strategy of fabricating the surfactant-based WLMs that can respond simultaneously to light, heat, and pH was developed by using triple-response sodium (E)-2-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy) acetate (AzoNa) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)-hydrolyzable palmitoylcholine bromide (PCB). Under the optimal molar ratio of AzoNa to PCB (∼0.5), the PCB-AzoNa WLMs formed with a maximum zero-shear viscosity (η0) value of about 2.1 × 105 mPa·s and an average diameter (D) of 4.1 ± 0.6 nm under conditions of 37 °C and pH 7.4. After irradiated with 365 nm UV light for 80 min, AzoNa underwent the trans-to-cis transition, by which the PCB-AzoNa WLMs was destroyed; however, the PCB-AzoNa WLMs could be reformed upon the irradiation of 455 nm blue light for 18 h or heating at 70 °C for 45 min due to the cis-to-trans isomerization of AzoNa. When pH changed from 7.4 to 2.0, the PCB-AzoNa WLMs was destroyed rapidly because of the conversion of AzoNa to the acid form of AzoH, whereas the PCB-AzoNa WLMs could be reformed after pH was restored to 7.4. The multiple responsiveness of the PCB-AzoNa WLMs was reversible due to the reversible trans-cis isomerization or protonation of AzoNa. Besides, the average D values of light, heat, and pH-regenerated PCB-AzoNa WLMs were 4.2 ± 0.7, 4.0 ± 0.7, and 4.0 ± 0.6 nm, respectively. Finally, the PCB-AzoNa WLMs could be enzymatically disorganized under conditions of 37 °C and pH 7.4 due to the BChE-catalyzed hydrolysis of PCB. We hope that the fabrication and enzymatic disorganization strategies for PCB-based multiresponse WLMs presented here will find potential applications in the formulation of antimicrobial household and personal care products containing PCB and in the green disposal of viscous waste containing PCB.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive smart supramolecular self-assembly with controllable morphology and adjustable rheological property has attracted widespread concern of scientists in recent years due to the great potential application in microfluidics, controlled release, biosensors and so on. In this study, a pH and UV light dual stimuli-responsive system was constructed by combining Gemini surfactant 2-hydroxyl-propanediyl-α,ω-bis(dimethyldodecyl ammonium bromide) (12-3(OH)-12·2Br-) with trans-ortho-hydroxyl cinnamic acid (trans-OHCA) in aqueous solution. The phase behavior and stimuli-responsive behavior of the system including the microstructural transition, rheological property, intermolecular interaction, and isomerization reaction were explored by various experiment techniques such as rheometer, UV-vis spectrum, polarized optical microscopy (POM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) as well as theoretical calculation. The system displays abundant phase behaviors that supramolecular self-assemblies of different morphologies in different states such as spherical micelle, wormlike micelle, lamellar liquid crystal, and aqueous two phase system (ATPS) were observed even at lower concentration, which provide the research basis on the abundant stimuli-responsiveness of the system. The results prove that the multiple ionization and the photo-isomerization of trans-OHCA endow the system with plentiful responses to pH and UV light stimuli. It is expected that this study on the dual stimuli-responsive system with abundant self-assembly behaviors and adjustable rheological behaviors would be of theoretical and practical importance, which would provide essential guidance in designing and constructing smart materials with multiple stimuli-responses.

Abstract
Lanthanide-containing, water-based fluids normally suffer from low photoluminescent (PL) and/or colloidal stability, which greatly hinders their applications. Herein, we report the preparation of PL fluids which contain in situ formed europium complexes in aqueous solution. The strategy first relies on the construction of wormlike micelles by mixing a zwitterionic surfactant (tetradecyldimethylaminoxide, C14DMAO) and a tridentate ligand for a lanthanide cation (2,6-dipicolinic acid, DPA) in water. The addition of the dual-functionalized DPA to an aqueous solution of C14DMAO (100 mol L-1) induced non-monotonic rheological changes, with the expected formation of a pseudogemini surfactant at a DPA-to-C14DMAO molar ratio of approximately 1 : 2. When a third component of EuCl3 is introduced to this system, complexes formed in situ between Eu3+ and DPA, resulting in bright red-emission. Besides DPA, C14DMAO is also involved in the complexation, which squeezes out water molecules and greatly improves the PL stability of the fluid. The synergetic effect among Eu3+, DPA and C14DMAO leads to the high colloidal stability of the fluid, opening the door for a wide range of potential applications. Further tests indicate that this strategy can be easily expanded to other lanthanide cations such as Tb3+.

Abstract
Over the recent years, intelligent, multi-responsive micelles have received considerable attention due to their promising application in a variety of fields, including biomedical technology, drug delivery, separation, and catalysis. However, the design of such systems with controlled self-assembly is challenging both experimentally and theoretically and is still in the nascent stage. In this study, a novel dual-stimuli triggered wormlike micellar solution is prepared by mixing cationic surfactants 3-hexadecyloxy-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium bromide (R16HTAB) and sodium hydrogen phthalate (SHP). The viscoelasticity, aggregate morphology, and pH- and thermo-responsive behavior of the micellar solution are examined by rheological measurements, cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The dual-sensitive fluid can be switched between a water-like state and a gel-like state by adjusting the pH and temperature. The variations in the flowing behavior are ascribed to the microstructural transition between wormlike micelles, short cylindrical micelles, and spherical micelles. Furthermore, based on the experimental results, dual-responsive behavior of the mixed solution is attributed to the different binding modes between SHP and the surfactant with the variation in the pH and temperature. We hope that the proposed system provides a new route for developing multi-stimuli-responsive materials that are capable of adapting to local environmental variations.

Abstract
In this article, a novel salt-resistant pH-sensitive surfactant N-carboxystearamido methanesulfonic acid (MSA) was designed and synthesized. The rheological properties of the MSA/CTAB mixed system prepared using seawater were evaluated, and the variation laws of the related rheological parameters were discussed. The relevant fracturing technical parameters of the MSA/CTAB mixed system were comprehensively evaluated. The wormlike micelles formed by the non-covalent binding of MSA and CTAB molecules can resist the electrostatic effect of inorganic salts in the seawater. Meanwhile, the MSA/CTAB mixed system has an excellent pH response and revealed that the change from wormlike micelles to spherical micelles leads to the decrease of the apparent viscosity and the transition from Maxwell fluid to Newton-type fluid. Furthermore, the MSA/CTAB mixed system has excellent cyclic fracturing performance, which can meet the dual requirements of fracturing fluid cost and performance of offshore oilfield, and has a good application prospect.

Abstract
Dual transient networks were prepared by mixing highly charged long wormlike micelles of surfactants with polysaccharide chains of hydroxypropyl guar above the entanglement concentration for each of the components. The wormlike micelles were composed of two oppositely charged surfactants potassium oleate and n-octyltrimethylammonium bromide with a large excess of anionic surfactant. The system is macroscopically homogeneous over a wide range of polymer and surfactant concentrations, which is attributed to a stabilizing effect of surfactants counterions that try to occupy as much volume as possible in order to gain in translational entropy. At the same time, by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) combined with ultrasmall-angle neutron scattering (USANS), a microphase separation with the formation of polymer-rich and surfactant-rich domains was detected. Rheological studies in the linear viscoelastic regime revealed a synergistic 180-fold enhancement of viscosity and 65-fold increase of the longest relaxation time in comparison with the individual components. This effect was attributed to the local increase in concentration of both components trying to avoid contact with each other, which makes the micelles longer and increases the number of intermicellar and interpolymer entanglements. The enhanced rheological properties of this novel system based on industrially important polymer hold great potential for applications in personal care products, oil recovery and many other fields.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Interpenetrating networks consisting of a polymer network with dynamic cross-links and a supramolecular network allow obtaining hydrogels with significantly enhanced mechanical properties. EXPERIMENTS Binary hydrogels composed of a dynamically cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) network and a transient network of entangled highly charged mixed wormlike micelles (WLMs) of surfactants (potassium oleate and n-octyltrimethylammonium bromide) were prepared and studied by rheometry, SANS, USANS, cryo-TEM, and NMR spectroscopy. FINDINGS Binary hydrogels show significantly enhanced rheological properties (a 3400-fold higher viscosity and 27-fold higher plateau modulus) as compared to their components taken separately. This is due to the microphase separation leading to local concentrating of PVA and WLMs providing larger number of polymer-polymer contacts for cross-linking and longer WLMs with more entanglements. Such materials are very promising for the application in many areas, ranging from enhanced oil recovery to biomedical uses.

Abstract
Controlling the viscoelastic characteristics of wormlike micelles is of great significance to both basic theory and practical applications. In this article, a novel multi-stimuli responsive wormlike micellar solution was prepared by mixing cationic surfactant 3-hexadecyloxy-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium bromide (R16HTAB) with trans-o-hydroxycinnamic acid (OHCA). Rheological studies, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) were utilized to investigate the wormlike micellar system's multi-responsive activity. The results showed that the self-assembled structure and viscoelasticity of the mixed system could be regulated by pH, temperature, and light irradiation. With the increasing trans-OHCA concentration, η0 of the mixed solution increases first and then decreases and the turning point is presented at 30 mM trans-OHCA, indicating the transformation of spherical micelles to wormlike micelles, and then to short micelles. The microstructure of the mixed systems could be reversibly altered by adjusting the pH between 6.41 and 3.90, which was ascertained by cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). The relationship of temperature and η0 obeys the Arrhenius law, attributed to the decreasing micellar contour length. η0 of a 40 mM R16HTAB/15 mM OHCA solution sharply increases after UV irradiation, mainly because the cis-isomer could insert into the micelle more easily, and the transition mechanism was studied by UV-vis and 1H NMR. The multi-responsive self-assembled system may open a new vista for building multi-functional aggregates to adapt to various environmental changes.
