Abstract
Natural small molecules have demonstrated tremendous potential for the construction of supramolecular chiral nanostructures owing to their unique molecular structures and chirality. In this study, novel CO2-responsive supramolecular hydrogels were constructed using a series of rosin-based surfactants (CnMPAN, n = 10, 12, and 14). The macroscopic properties, rheological properties, nanostructures, and intermolecular interactions of the hydrogels were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, rotational rheometry, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Interestingly, diverse nanostructures containing helical nanofibers, interwoven nanofibers, and twisted nanoribbons were formed in the hydrogels, which were rarely observed in reported supramolecular hydrogels, and the strength of the hydrogels was significantly enhanced by increasing the CnMPAN concentration and the alkyl chain length. The obtained hydrogels exhibited excellent CO2-responsiveness, with no obvious variation in the nanostructures and rheological properties after response to CO2/N2 for five cycles. Taking advantage of the chiral nanostructures of hydrogels, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were further prepared. The average particle sizes of the resulting GNPs were as low as 2.5 nm, and the GNPs also had a chiral structure. It is worth noting that no additional reductants and UV-light irradiation were used during the reduction process of GNPs. This study emphasizes that the unique molecular structure and chirality of rosin are critical for the preparation of hydrogels with chiral nanostructures. In addition, this study enriches the applications of forest resources.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The surface-active ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium 1,4-bis-2-ethylhexylsulfosuccinate ([BMIm][AOT]), has a sponge-like bulk nanostructure consisting of percolating polar and apolar domains formed by the ion charge groups and alkyl chains, respectively. We hypothesise that added water will swell the polar domains and change the liquid nanostructure. EXPERIMENTS Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM) were used to investigate the nanostructure of [BMIm][AOT] as a function of water content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was employed to probe the thermal transitions of [BMIm][AOT]-water mixtures and the mobility of water molecules. FINDINGS SAXS, SANS and POM show that at lower water contents, [BMIm][AOT]-water mixtures have a sponge-like nanostructure similar to the pure SAIL, at medium water contents a lamellar phase forms, and at high water contents vesicles form. DSC results reveal that water molecules are supercooled in the lamellar phase. For the first time, results reveal a series of transitions from inverse sponge, to lamellar then to vesicles, for [BMIm][AOT] upon dilution with water.

Abstract
Rosin is a characteristic natural renewable resource. In view of the unique hydrogenated phenanthrene ring skeleton structure of rosin, it can be designed and synthesized to modify silicone rubber for improving its mechanical properties, thermal stability, and other properties. In this paper, the research progress of silicone rubber modified by rosin and its derivatives is reviewed, including internal or surface modification of room temperature or high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber. The different chemical modifications and polymerization pathways to obtain bio-based silicone rubber (e.g. rosin-based silicone cross-linking agent, filler compound rosin-based silicone cross-linking agent, rosin-based polymer, and rosin quaternary ammonium salt bifunctional antibacterial coating) are discussed and its research prospect is reviewed. Overall, the present review article will provide a quantitative experimental basis for rosin to produce bio-renewable multifunctional silicone rubber to increase our level of understanding of the behavior of this important class of silicone rubber and other similar bio-based polymers.

ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:39822-39829. [PMID: 36385827 PMCID: PMC9647716 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c03817] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Viscoelastic surfactants (VESs) have significant importance for stimulation of low-permeable reservoirs and acid diversion applications to effectively enhance hydrocarbon productivity. VESs offer lower residues, complete gel production, and lower formation damage that make them suitable candidates for hydraulic fracturing applications. In this research work, the synthesis of two new zwitterionic gemini surfactants 1 and 2 together with previously known amidosulfobutaine (C18AMP3SB) has been achieved. Evaluation of viscosity behavior of neat surfactants in CaCl2 solutions at varied temperatures and shear rates did not show any upsurge in their viscosities. Nevertheless, a mixture of surfactants 1 and 2 in combination with C18AMP3SB displayed a significant increase in viscosity, transforming the solution into a highly viscous gel. At a fixed shear rate of 35 s-1 and under different temperatures, solutions of the mixture of surfactants 1 and C18AMP3SB displayed viscosities ranging from 4.34 to 354.3 cPs (81-fold enhancement). Likewise, viscosities of formulations based on mixing 2 and C18AMP3SB under identical experimental conditions ranged from 3.89 to 290 cPs (74-fold enhancement). The viscofying stability tests at 90 °C at a shear rate of 35 s-1 of mixed surfactant formulations revealed no appreciable change in their viscosities for up to 1 h. Moreover, temperature-dependent experiments suggested an increase in the viscosity with an increase in temperature. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that these surfactants are thermally stable, with no appreciable loss of mass up to 300 °C. The viscoelastic properties of these surfactants suggest their potential and utility in well stimulation for enhanced oil recovery.
