Abstract
Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) are liquid-liquid equilibria between two aqueous phases that usually contain over 70% water content each, which results in a nontoxic organic solvent-free environment for biological compounds and biomolecules. ATPSs have attracted significant interest in applications for formulating carriers (microparticles, nanoparticles, hydrogels, and polymersomes) which can be prepared using the spontaneous phase separation of ATPSs as a driving force, and loaded with a wide range of bioactive materials, including small molecule drugs, proteins, and cells, for delivery applications. This review provides a detailed analysis of various ATPSs, including strategies employed for particle formation, polymerization of droplets in ATPSs, phase-guided block copolymer assemblies, and stimulus-responsive carriers. Processes for loading various bioactive payloads are discussed, and applications of these systems for drug delivery are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
A catanionic surfactant system is an aqueous solution or dispersion of cationic and anionic surfactants that spontaneously self-assemble into structures such as micelles, vesicles, and coacervates. Their structural diversity varies depending on the ratios of cationic and anionic surfactants (compositions), the chemical structure of the constituent molecules, etc. Herein, two types of catanionic surfactant systems were systematically characterized: (i) cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), both typical ionic surfactants; and (ii) dodecylmethylimidazolium ammonium bromide ([C12mim]Br) and SDS, where the former is an ionic liquid. By observing the sample appearance, turbidity, and particle size, the phase state of each system was analyzed according to the total concentration of surfactants and the molar ratio of cationic surfactants to the total concentration. Especially, for specific compositions of catanionic surfactant vesicles (cataniosome), the closed structure of the vesicles was confirmed through calcein entrapment and release detected with a fluorescence assay. The polarities of the interface of the prepared self-assemblies were evaluated using a fluorescence probe, Laurdan. The packing state of the molecules in the formed self-assembly structure was estimated using Raman spectroscopy. The results clearly indicate consistent phase-transition behavior for the CTAB-SDS (i) and [C12mim]Br-SDS (ii) systems, depending on the total surfactant concentration and composition, while the membrane properties of the two systems differed. The cataniosome formed in the CTAB-SDS system was in a tightly packed membrane state and more hydrophobic than that formed in the [C12mim]Br-SDS system owing to the difference in the structure of the constituting molecule: [C12mim]Br has a larger head group and shorter acyl chain than CTAB. The self-assembly properties evaluated in this study were compared with those of typical lipid membranes, liposomes (lipid vesicles), to determine a possible application of the catanionic systems with various self-assembly formulations.

Abstract
As an environmentally friendly separation medium, the ionic liquid (IL)-based aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) is attracting long-term attention from a growing number of scientists and engineers. Phase equilibrium data of IL-based ATPSs are an important basis for the design and optimization of chemical reactions and separation processes involving ILs. This article provides the recent significant progress that has been made in the field and highlights the possible directions of future developments. The effects of each component (such as salting-out agents and ILs) on the phase behavior of IL-based ATPSs are summarized and discussed in detail. We mainly focus on the phase behavior of ATPSs by using ILs, expecting to provide meaningful and valuable information that may promote further research and application.

Abstract
In this study, Phellinus linteus polysaccharides (PLPS) and proteins were simultaneously separated from P. linteus mycelia by using an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) based on choline chloride ([Chol]Cl)/K2HPO4, and the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of PLPS after ATPS extraction were evaluated. Results demonstrated that the maximal extraction efficiencies of 68.53% ± 0.29% PLPS and 82.37% ± 0.41% proteins were obtained when the cholinium-based ATPS contained 68.9% K2HPO4, 20% [Chol]Cl, 10.0 mg mL-1 crude water extract (1.0 mL), and distilled water (4.0 mL) at shaking time and temperature of 30 min and 21.2 °C, respectively. Compared with C-PLPS obtained using traditional ethanol precipitation and isolation protocols, PLPS had higher carbohydrate content (63.58% ± 1.12%), lower molecular weight (15.2 kDa, 80%), different monosaccharide compositions, and showed similar preliminary structural characterizations. Moreover, PLPS exhibited more evident scavenging effects on free radicals and in vitro antioxidant activities than C-PLPS. Therefore, the method of [Chol]Cl/K2HPO4 ATPS can be developed as an effective strategy for the separation/purification of highly bioactive polysaccharides.

Abstract
Regenerated cellulose can be prepared by treatment with an ionic liquid (IL) and an anti-solvent such as water, which significantly enhances the enzymatic hydrolysis in comparison to crystalline cellulose. The IL-aqueous two-phase system (IL-ATPS) is consisted of IL-condensed top phase and salt-condensed bottom phase, which could be suitable to produce regenerated cellulose with smaller amount of IL. Using IL-ATPS with different pH, the enzymatic saccharification efficiency of crystalline cellulose was determined. The use of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride resulted in relatively higher yield of glucose production as compared to 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. The IL-ATPS showing optimal pH for cellulase was prepared with mixed salt (NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 = 5/1 (wt/wt)), which provide a regenerated cellulose with the pH range of 4.8-4.9 in enzymatic reaction mixture. Using such regenerated cellulose as feed of saccharification, the final yield of glucose was about 70%.
