Abstract
Assembling small molecules at liquid/solid interfaces is relatively common and contributes to many unique properties of the interface. However, such an assembling process can be dynamic depending on the concentration of the molecule and the properties of the solid and liquid themselves, which poses serious challenges on the accurate evaluation of the assembling processes. Herein, we report a convenient way for in situ and real-time monitoring of assembling-disassembling of small-molecule surfactants on the surface of microchannels using pulsed streaming potential (SP) measurement based on the variation of surface charge. With this technique, five distinctive kinetic regimes, each responsible for a characteristic molecular behavior, can be differentiated during a typical assembling-disassembling cycle. Significant difference of the assembling-disassembling process was clearly reflected for surfactants with hydrophobic tails of only a two -CH2- difference (C16TAB/C18TAB and D10DAB/D12DAB). The relative SP (Er) value is positively correlated with the molecular weight at a concentration of 0.1 mM for the same kinds of surfactants. Moreover, the assembling kinetics of D10DAB exhibits an "overshoot effect" at high concentration, which means morphology adjustment. The consequences of such assembling/disassembling of these molecules for electrophoretic separation, protein immobilization, and photocatalysis in a microchannel were investigated through dynamic characterization, which proves its potential as a tool for dynamic solid/liquid interface characterization.

Abstract
Chitin has a unique hierarchical structure, spanning the macro- and nanoscales, and presents chemical characteristics that make it a suitable component of multiphase systems. Herein, we elucidate the colloidal interactions between partially deacetylated chitin nanocrystals (cationic ChNC) and an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). We investigate charge neutralization and association (electrophoretic mobility, surface tensiometry, and quartz crystal microgravimetry) and their role in the stabilization of Pickering emulsions. We find SDS adsorption and association with ChNC under distinctive regimes: At low SDS concentration, submonolayer assemblies form on ChNC, driven by the hydrophobic effect and electrostatic interactions. With the increased SDS concentration, bilayers or patchy bilayers form, followed by adsorbed hemimicelles and micelles. We further suggested the role of hydrophobic effects in the observed colloidal transitions and complex conformations. At the highest SDS concentration tested, charge neutralization and SDS/ChNC flocculation take place. Remarkably, at given concentrations, adsorbed SDS endows the chitin nanoparticles with an effective hydrophobicity that opens the opportunity to achieve tailorable Pickering stabilization. Hence, a facile route is proposed by in situ modification by SDS physisorption, which extends the potential of renewable nanoparticles in the formulation of complex fluids, for instance, those relevant to household and healthcare products.

Abstract
As an important forestry biomass resource, rosin has a wide range of applications in medicine, adhesives, surfactants and other fields. Using natural dehydroabietic acid as a raw material, dehydroabietic acid-based phosphorus monoester (DPM) and diester (DPD) surfactants were designed and synthesized. The chemical structures and self-assembly properties were characterized by FT-IR, NMR and TEM, and the effects of pH on critical micelle concentration, γCMC, emulsifying properties, foam properties and micelle morphology were studied. The results showed that the CMC, γCMC value and aggregate morphology had certain pH responsiveness. The γCMC value under acidic conditions was smaller than γCMC under alkaline conditions, and the foaming performance and foam stability under acidic conditions were better than those under alkaline conditions. TEM micelle morphology studies have shown that DPM and DPD surfactants can self-assemble into rod-shaped and spherical micelle morphologies with a pH change in an aqueous solution. At the same pH, the foaming and emulsification properties of DPD were better than those of DPM. The best foaming and emulsification ability of DPD were 11.8 mL and 175 s, respectively. At the same time, the foaming ability of DPD is also affected by pH. DPD has excellent foaming properties in acidic conditions, but these disappeared in neutral conditions.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for efficient extraction of residual oil, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) offers prospects for producing more reservoirs' original oil in place. As one of the most promising methods, chemical EOR (cEOR) is the process of injecting chemicals (polymers, alkalis, and surfactants) into reservoirs. However, the main issue that influences the recovery efficiency in surfactant flooding of cEOR is surfactant losses through adsorption to the reservoir rocks. This review focuses on the key issue of surfactant adsorption in cEOR and addresses major concerns regarding surfactant adsorption processes. We first describe the adsorption behavior of surfactants with particular emphasis on adsorption mechanisms, isotherms, kinetics, thermodynamics, and adsorption structures. Factors that affect surfactant adsorption such as surfactant characteristics, solution chemistry, rock mineralogy, and temperature were discussed systematically. To minimize surfactant adsorption, the chemical additives of alkalis, polymers, nanoparticles, co-solvents, and ionic liquids are highlighted as well as implementing with salinity gradient and low salinity water flooding strategies. Finally, current trends and future challenges related to the harsh conditions in surfactant based EOR are outlined. It is expected to provide solid knowledge to understand surfactant adsorption involved in cEOR and contribute to improved flooding strategies with reduced surfactant loss.

Abstract
Viscosity modifying agents are one of the most critical components of hydraulic fracturing fluids, ensuring the efficient transport and deposition of proppant into fissures. To improve the productivity index of hydraulic fracturing processes, better viscosifiers with a higher proppant carrying capacity and a lower potential of formation damage are needed. In this work, we report the development of a novel viscoelastic system relying on the complexation of zwitterionic octadecylamidopropyl betaine (OAPB) and diethylenetriamine (DTA) in water. At a concentration of 2 wt%, the zwitterionic complex fluid had a static viscosity of 9 to 200 poise, which could be reversibly adjusted by changing the suspension pH. The degree of pH-responsiveness ranged from 10 to 27 depending on the shear rate. At a given concentration and optimum pH value, the zwitterionic viscosifiers showed a two-orders-of-magnitude reduction in settling velocity of proppant compared to polyacrylamide solution (slickwater). By adjusting the pH between 4 and 8, the networked structure of the gel could be fully assembled and disassembled. The lack of macromolecular residues at the dissembled state can be beneficial for hydraulic fracturing application in avoiding the permeation damage issues encountered in polymer and linear-gel-based fracturing fluids. The reusability and the unnecessary permanent breakers are other important characteristics of these zwitterionic viscosifiers. Viscosity modifying agents are one of the most critical components of hydraulic fracturing fluids, ensuring the efficient transport and deposition of proppant into fissures.![]()

Abstract
Strontium, calcium, and magnesium silicate hydrate phases are synthesized by the reaction between silica and solution of metal hydroxides. The kinetics of the reaction is recorded using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), continuously monitoring the change in frequency and dissipation energy. Based on QCM results, it is shown that properties of solutions like the pH-value or the type of ions play a pivotal function on the rate-determining stage of the reaction, the thickness of the diffuse layer, the formation of carbonates, as well as the kinetics of the formed phases. Further properties of the reaction products are investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and infrared spectroscopy (IR). With the help of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction (XRD), we investigate how our synthesized phases can be turned into MSiO3 structures. Finally, the Goldschmidt rules for perovskites structures show that this might be an attractive way for new and nontoxic phases in the future.
