Abstract
Silicone surfactants have garnered significant research attention owing to their superior properties, such as wettability, ductility, and permeability. Small-molecular silicone surfactants with simple molecular structures outperform polymeric silicone surfactants in terms of surface activity, emulsification, wetting, foaming, and other areas. Moreover, silicone surfactants with small molecules exhibit a diverse and rich molecular structure. This review discusses various synthetic routes for the synthesis of different classes of surfactants, including single-chain, "umbrella" structure, double chain, bolaform, Gemini, and stimulus-responsive surfactants. The fundamental surface/interface properties of the synthesized surfactants are also highlighted. Additionally, these surfactants have demonstrated enormous potential in agricultural synergism, drug delivery, mineral flotation, enhanced oil recovery, separation, and extraction, and foam fire-fighting.

Abstract
Biosurfactants are natural compounds with remarkable surface-active properties that may offer an eco-friendly alternative to conventional surfactants. Among them, mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) stand out as an intriguing example of a glycolipid biosurfactant. MELs have been used in a variety of sectors for various applications, and are currently commercially produced. Industrially, they are used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and agricultural industries, based on their ability to reduce surface tension and enhance emulsification. However, despite their utility, their production is comparatively limited industrially. From a bioprocessing standpoint, two areas of interest to improve the production process are upstream production and downstream (separation and purification) product recovery. The former has seen a significant amount of research, with researchers investigating several production factors: the microbial species or strain employed, the producing media composition, and the production strategy implemented. Improvement and optimization of these are key to scale-up the production of MELs. On the other hand, the latter has seen comparatively limited work presented in the literature. For the most part traditional separation techniques have been employed. This systematic review presents the production and purification methodologies used by researchers by comprehensively analyzing the current state-of-the-art with regards the production, separation, and purification of MELs. By doing so, the review presents different possible approaches, and highlights some potential areas for future work by identifying opportunities for the commercialization of MELs.

Abstract
Symmetrical and dissymmetrical bolaforms were prepared with good to high yields from unsaturated L-rhamnosides and phenolic esters (ferulic, phloretic, coumaric, sinapic and caffeic) using two eco-compatible synthetic strategies involving glycosylation, enzymatic synthesis and cross-metathesis under microwave activation. The plant-eliciting activity of these new compounds was investigated in Arabidopsis model plants. We found that the monocatenar rhamnosides and bolaforms activate the plant immune system with a response depending on the carbon chain length and the nature of the hydrophilic heads. Their respective antioxidant activities were also evaluated, as well as their cytotoxic properties on dermal cells for cosmetic uses. We showed that phenolic ester-based compounds present good antioxidant activities and that their cytotoxicity is low. These properties are also dependent on the carbon chains used.

Abstract
Cationic and ionizable cationic lipids are broadly applied as auxiliary agents, but their use is associated with adverse effects. If these excipients are rapidly degraded to endogenously occurring metabolites such as amino acids and fatty acids, their toxic potential can be minimized. So far, synthesized and evaluated biodegradable cationic and ionizable cationic lipids already showed promising results in terms of functionality and safety. Within this review, an overview about the different types of such biodegradable lipids, the available building blocks, their synthesis and cleavage by endogenous enzymes is provided. Moreover, the relationship between the structure of the lipids and their toxicity is described. Their application in drug delivery systems is critically discussed and placed in context with the lead compounds used in mRNA vaccines. Moreover, their use as preservatives is reviewed, guidance for their design is provided, and an outlook on future developments is given.

Abstract
In this work, a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study is performed on some cationic surfactants to evaluate the relationship between the molecular structures of the compounds with their aggregation numbers (AGGNs) in aqueous solution at 25 °C. An artificial neural network (ANN) model is combined with the QSAR study to predict the aggregation number of the surfactants. In the ANN analysis, four out of more than 3000 molecular descriptors were used as input variables, and the complete set of 41 cationic surfactants was randomly divided into a training set of 29, a test set of 6, and a validation set of 6 molecules. After that, a multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis was utilized to build a linear model using the same descriptors and the results were compared statistically with those of the ANN analysis. The square of the correlation coefficient (R 2) and root mean square error (RMSE) of the ANN and MLR models (for the whole data set) were 0.9392, 7.84, and 0.5010, 22.52, respectively. The results of the comparison revealed the efficiency of ANN in detecting a correlation between the molecular structure of surfactants and their AGGN values with a high predictive power due to the non-linearity in the studied data. Based on the ANN algorithm, the relative importance of the selected descriptors was computed and arranged in the following descending order: H-047 > ESpm12x > JGI6> Mor20p. Then, the QSAR data was interpreted and the impact of each descriptor on the AGGNs of the molecules were thoroughly discussed. The results showed there is a correlation between each selected descriptor and the AGGN values of the surfactants.

Abstract
The development and implementation of new amphiphiles based on natural resources rather than petrochemical precursors is an essential requirement due to their feedstock depletion and adverse environmental impacts. In addition, the use of bio-based surfactants can provide unique characteristics and improve the properties and versatility of the colloidal systems in which they are applied, such as emulsions. Here, the emulsification properties of a synthesized biocompatible mannose-based surfactant were investigated. Its behavior was evaluated in the presence of four different natural oils (castor, sunflower, olive and soybean) as well as two different aqueous phases (pure water and phosphate-buffered saline). The results highlighted its interest as surfactant in O/W nanoemulsions for all tested oil and aqueous phases, using a low-energy preparation protocol and relatively low surfactant concentrations. Furthermore, the mannose groups present on the polar head of the surfactant and adsorbed on the surface of the emulsion droplets were shown to retain their native biological properties. The specific mannose-concanavalin A binding was observed in vitro by the designed nanoemulsions, revealing the biorecognition properties of the surfactant and its potential applicability as a nanocarrier.

Synthetic and Natural Surfactants for Potential Application in Mobilization of Organic Contaminants: Characterization and Batch Study. WATER 2022.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigated the abilities of five sugar-based synthetic surfactants and biosurfactants from three different families (i.e., alkyl polyglycoside (APG), sophorolipid (SL), and rhamnolipid (RL)) to dissolve and mobilize non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) components, i.e., toluene and perchloroethylene (PCE), adsorbed on porous matrices. The objective of this study was to establish a benchmark for the selection of suitable surfactants for the flushing aquifer remediation technique. The study involved a physicochemical characterization of the surfactants to determine the critical micelle concentration (CMCs) and interfacial properties. Subsequently, a batch study, through the construction of adsorption isotherms, made it possible to evaluate the surfactants’ capacities in contaminant mobilization via the reduction of their adsorptions onto a reference adsorbent material, a pine wood biochar (PWB). The results indicate that a synthetic surfactant from the APG family with a long fatty acid chain and a di-rhamnolipid biosurfactant with a shorter hydrophobic group offered the highest efficiency values; they reduced water surface tension by up to 54.7% and 52%, respectively. These two surfactants had very low critical micelle concentrations (CMCs), 0.0071 wt% and 0.0173 wt%, respectively; this is critical from an economical point of view. The batch experiments showed that these two surfactants, at concentrations just five times their CMCs, were able to reduce the adsorption of toluene on PWB by up to 74% and 65%, and of PCE with APG and RL by up to 65% and 86%, respectively. In general, these results clearly suggest the possibility of using these two surfactants in surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation technology.

Abstract
A series of nonionic disaccharide-based surfactants alkyldi(oxyethylene) β-d-maltosides (4a-4h, n = 6-16) were synthesized, and their physicochemical properties were further investigated. Six β-D-maltosides (4c-4h, n = 8-16) exhibited a fan-shaped texture feature, whereas hexyldi(oxyethylene) β-D-maltoside (4a) had the strongest hygroscopicity. Owing to the incorporation of the hydrophilic dioxyethyl spacer (-(OCH2CH2)2-), the related water solubility improved significantly. Tetradecyldi(oxyethylene) β-D-maltoside (4g) had good water solubility, whereas hexadecyldi(oxyethylene) β-D-maltoside (4h) had weak water solubility. Meanwhile, the surface tension of β-D-maltosides (4a-4g, n = 6-14) had a decreasing tendency with increasing the alkyl chain length, whereas 4g had the best surface activity. Furthermore, decyldi(oxyethylene) β-D-maltoside (4e) had the best foaming ability and foam stability. Dodecyldi(oxyethylene) β-D-maltoside (4f) had the best emulsifying property in the rapeseed oil/water system. In contrast, both ammonium dodecyl sulfate (NH4DS)/4f and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC)/4f binary surfactant systems showed a synergistic effect in surface activity because the CCMC/CMCidmix was <1. NaCl impacted the surface activity of the aqueous 4f solution through salt-surfactant synergistic effects. The results showed that such surfactants should have potential applications in the related field in the future.
