Abstract
This study leverages the ancient craft of weaving to prepare membranes that can effectively treat oil/water mixtures, specifically challenging nanoemulsions. Drawing inspiration from the core-shell architecture of spider silk, we have engineered fibers, the fundamental building blocks for weaving membranes, that feature a mechanically robust core for tight weaving, coupled with a CO2-responsive shell that allows for on-demand wettability adjustments. Tightly weaving these fibers produces membranes with ideal pores, achieving over 99.6% separation efficiency for nanoemulsions with droplets as small as 20 nm. They offer high flux rates, on-demand self-cleaning, and can switch between sieving oil and water nanodroplets through simple CO2/N2 stimulation. Moreover, weaving can produce sufficiently large membranes (4800 cm2) to assemble a module that exhibits long-term stability and performance, surpassing state-of-the-art technologies for nanoemulsion separations, thus making industrial application a practical reality.

Abstract
Foam flooding is an important tool for reservoir development. This study aims to further investigate the interaction between stimulus-responsive wormlike micelle (WLM)-CO2 foams and crude oil. We performed micromorphology experiments as our major studies and used molecular dynamics simulations as an auxiliary tool for interfacial analysis. We utilized foam generation, liquid separation, and defoaming as the entry points of experimental research and energy as the quantitative assessment index to investigate the dynamic process of the action of different oil contents and oil phase types in a DOAPA@NaSal-H+ foam system. We also examined the role of NaSal in the generation and development of the foam system. Results indicated that the law of crude oil's effect on foam could be summarized as "low contents are beneficial and high contents are harmful." In addition, although the DOAPA@NaSal-H+ foam system has high compatibility for saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons, it is highly suitable for application in reservoir environments with relatively high asphaltene and resin contents. Through combined experimental and simulation approaches, we clarified the law governing the stability of the DOAPA@NaSal-H+ foam system in different oil-containing environments, identified the key role of NaSal, and provided a reference for the targeted application of the DOAPA@NaSal-H+ foam system in different oil reservoirs.

Abstract
We have developed ionic polydimethylsiloxane elastomers that rapidly and reversibly increase their adhesion upon exposure to carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. The CO2 molecules dissolve quickly into the ionic aggregates, physically crosslinking the polymer chains and plasticizing them. The elastomer consequently becomes softer and more adhesive upon exposure to CO2.

Abstract
We found that our optically CO2 -responsive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer rapidly and reversibly underwent both visible and fluorescent color changes in the presence of CO2 gas. Unlike conventional optically CO2 -responsive polymeric materials, it functions in totally dry gaseous conditions. The visible color and fluorescence of the elastomer sheet change after only 1 min of exposure to CO2 , and the sheet exhibits excellent repeatability in terms of color switching that persists for at least 20 times.

Abstract
CO2-responsive materials undergo a change in chemical or physical properties in response to the introduction or removal of CO2. The use of CO2 as a stimulus is advantageous as it is abundant, benign, inexpensive, and it does not accumulate in a system. Many CO2-responsive materials have already been explored including polymers, latexes, surfactants, and catalysts. As a sub-set of CO2-responsive polymers, the study of CO2-responsive gels (insoluble, cross-linked polymers) is a unique discipline due to the unique set of changes in the gels brought about by CO2 such as swelling or a transformed morphology. In the past 15 years, CO2-responsive gels and self-assembled gels have been investigated for a variety of emerging potential applications, reported in 90 peer-reviewed publications. The two most widely exploited properties include the control of flow (fluids) via CO2-triggered aggregation and their capacity for reversible CO2 absorption-desorption, leading to applications in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and CO2 sequestration, respectively. In this paper, we review the preparation, properties, and applications of these CO2-responsive gels, broadly classified by particle size as nanogels, microgels, aerogels, and macrogels. We have included a section on CO2-induced self-assembled gels (including poly(ionic liquid) gels).

Abstract
Smart membranes with responsive wettability show promise for controllably separating oil/water mixtures, including immiscible oil-water mixtures and surfactant-stabilized oil/water emulsions. However, the membranes are challenged by unsatisfactory external stimuli, inadequate wettability responsiveness, difficulty in scalability and poor self-cleaning performance. Here, we develop a capillary force-driven confinement self-assembling strategy to construct a scalable and stable CO2-responsive membrane for the smart separation of various oil/water systems. In this process, the CO2-responsive copolymer can homogeneously adhere to the membrane surface by manipulating the capillary force, generating a membrane with a large area up to 3600 cm2 and excellent switching wettability between high hydrophobicity/underwater superoleophilicity and superhydrophilicity/underwater superoleophobicity under CO2/N2 stimulation. The membrane can be applied to various oil/water systems, including immiscible mixtures, surfactant-stabilized emulsions, multiphase emulsions and pollutant-containing emulsions, demonstrating high separation efficiency (>99.9%), recyclability, and self-cleaning performance. Due to robust separation properties coupled with the excellent scalability, the membrane shows great implications for smart liquid separation.

Abstract
Wormlike micelles, which are linear aggregates created by the self-assembly of surfactants, may entangle to form dynamic three-dimensional network-like structures, endowing solutions with considerable macroscopic viscoelasticity. Recently, a pressing need has arisen to research a novel stimuli-responsive worm-like micelle that is efficient and environmentally friendly. CO2 is an inexpensive, abundant, non-toxic, biocompatible, and non-combustible gas, and it is anticipated that CO2 may serve as the trigger for stimuli-responsive worm-like micelles. In this paper, the formation of CO2-switchable pseudo-tetrameric surfactants, which subsequently self-assemble into CO2-switched wormlike micelles, is accomplished using a simple mixing of two commercial reagents, such as stearic acids and cyclen. The rheological characteristics switched by the use of CO2 are cycled between that of a low-viscosity (1.2 mPa·s) fluid and a viscoelastic fluid (worm-like micelles, 3000 mPa·s). This article expands the field of study on stimuli-responsive worm-like micelles.

Abstract
CO2-responsive foaming has been drawing huge attention due to its unique switching characteristics in academic research and industrial practices, whereas its stability remains questionable for further applications. In this paper, a new CO2-switchable foam was synthesized by adding the preferably selected hydrophilic nanoparticle N20 into the foaming agent C12A, through a series of analytical experiments. Overall, the synergy between cationic surfactants and nanoparticles with a contact angle of 37.83° is the best. More specifically, after adding 1.5 wt% N20, the half-life of foam is 14 times longer than that of pure C12A foam. What’s more, the C12A-N20 solution is validated to own distinctive CO2-N2 switching features because very slight foaming degradations are observed in terms of the foaming volume and half-life time even after three cycles of CO2-N2 injections. This study is of paramount importance pertaining to future CO2 foam research and applications in energy and environmental practices. Cationic surfactants have the best synergy with NPs with a contact angle of 37.83° The foam stability increased with the increase of NPs concentration CO2/N2 can control the foaming properties of C12A-N20 solution and are reversible

Abstract
We develop CO2 -triggered in-situ hydrogels from waterborne poly(ε-caprolactone)-based polyurethane (PU) dispersion and aqueous polyethyleneimine (PEI) solution without any other chemicals and apparatus (e.g., UV light). In our approach, non-toxic CO2 in air is used as a selective trigger for the hydrogel formation. CO2 adsorption onto PEI results in the formation of ammonium cations in PEI and the subsequent multiple ionic crosslinking between PU and PEI chains. Besides the amount of CO2 in air, the rate of hydrogel formation can be controlled by NaHCO3 in the PU-PEI mixture, which serves as a CO2 supplier. The PU hydrogels exhibit tough and stretchable properties with high tensile strength (2.05 MPa) and elongation at break (438.24%), as well as biocompatibility and biodegradability. In addition, the PU hydrogels exhibit high adhesion strength on skin and injectability due to the in-situ formation. We believe that these PU hydrogels have the ideal features for various future applications, such as tissue adhesion barriers, wound dressing, artificial skin, and injectable fillers.

Abstract
Ionomers, polysiloxanes with imidazolinium dithiocarbamate side chains, have been synthesized in situ from three uncharged components-a polysiloxane with imidazole side chains, CS2, and hexylamine or octadecylamine. Their structural and dynamic properties are compared over a temperature range of 0-50 °C with those of the analogous ionomers in which the polysiloxanes have amidinium side chains. The results, primarily from differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction measurements, and rheology show that the small structural (and smaller electronic) differences between the cyclic 5-membered ring imidazolinium and acyclic amidinium groups have marked effects on the bulk properties of the ionomers. These include their shear strengths and the manner in which the microcrystalline portions of the ionomers with dithiooctadecylcarbamate anions are packed. Thus, it is possible to finely tune the natures of the ionomers from one polysiloxane by changing temperature, the chain length of the alkylamine, and the nature of the base attached to the polysiloxane chain. Why these changes occur to the various properties is discussed.

Abstract
Pickering emulsions are particle-stabilized surfactant-free dispersions composed of two immiscible liquid phases, and emerge as attractive catalysis platform to surpass traditional technique barrier in some cases. In this review, we have comprehensively summarized the development and the catalysis applications of Pickering emulsions since the pioneering work in 2010. The explicit mechanism for Pickering emulsions will be initially discussed and clarified. Then, summarization is given to the design strategy of amphiphilic emulsion catalysts in two categories of intrinsic and extrinsic amphiphilicity. The progress of the unconventional catalytic reactions in Pickering emulsion is further described, especially for the polarity/solubility difference-driven phase segregation, "smart" emulsion reaction system, continuous flow catalysis, and Pickering interfacial biocatalysis. Challenges and future trends for the development of Pickering emulsion catalysis are finally outlined.

Electrical Response of Poly( N-[3-(dimethylamino)Propyl] Methacrylamide) to CO 2 at a Long Exposure Period. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:22232-22243. [PMID: 35811921 PMCID: PMC9260916 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c00914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
Amine-functionalized polymers (AFPs) are able to react with carbon dioxide (CO2) and are therefore useful in CO2 capture and sensing. To develop AFP-based CO2 sensors, it is critical to examine their electrical responses to CO2 over long periods of time, so that the device can be used consistently for measuring CO2 concentration. To this end, we synthesized poly(N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl] methacrylamide) (pDMAPMAm) by free radical polymerization and tested its ability to behave as a CO2-responsive polymer in a transducer. The electrical response of this polymer to CO2 upon long exposure times was measured in both the aqueous and solid phases. Direct current resistance measurement tests on pDMAPMAm films printed along with the silver electrodes in the presence of CO2 at various concentrations reveal a two-region electrical response. Upon continuous exposure to different CO2 flow rates (at a constant pressure of 0.2 MPa), the resistance first decreased over time, reaching a minimum, followed by a gradual increase with further exposure to CO2. A similar trend is observed when CO2 is introduced to an aqueous solution of pDMAPMAm. The in situ monitoring of pH suggests that the change in resistance of pDMAPMAm can be attributed to the protonation of tertiary amine groups in the presence of CO2. This two-region response of pDMAPMAm is based on a proton-hopping mechanism and a change in the number of free amines when pDMAPMAm is exposed to various levels of CO2.

Abstract
Poly(aminoethyl methacrylate) (PAEMA), poly(ethylene oxide)-block-(aminoethyl methacrylate) (PEO-PAEMA), and their guanidinylated derivates, poly(guanidine ethyl methacrylate) (PGEMA) and poly(ethylene oxide)-block-(guanidine ethyl methacrylate) (PEO-PGEMA), were prepared to study their capabilities for CO2 adsorption and release. The polymers of different forms or degree of guanidinylation were thoroughly characterized, and their interaction with CO2 was studied by NMR and calorimetry. The extent and kinetics of adsorption and desorption of N2 and CO2 were investigated by thermogravimetry under controlled gas atmospheres. The materials did not adsorb N2, whereas CO2 could be reversibly adsorbed at room temperature and released by an elevated temperature. The most promising polymer was PGEMA with a guanidinylation degree of 7% showing a CO2 adsorption capacity of 2.4 mmol/g at room temperature and a desorption temperature of 72 °C. The study also revealed relations between the polymer chemical composition and CO2 adsorption and release characteristics that are useful in future formulations for CO2 adsorbent polymer materials.

Abstract
Stimulus-responsive polymers with luminescence properties have a wide range of applications in the fields of controlled drug release, fluorescent probes, and biological stents. In this paper, carbon dioxide (CO2)/oxygen (O2) dual-responsive fluorescent diblock copolymers were synthesized by the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization method with two fluorescent monomers synthesized as its luminescence source, DEAEMA (CO2 responsive monomer) and tFMA (O2 responsive monomer). An experimental study demonstrated that the synthesized stimulus-responsive fluorescent polymer had a high sensitivity to CO2; the double-responsive fluorescent diblock copolymer could form and achieve the reversal of polymer micelles in the aqueous solution when it was sequentially subjected to the introduction of CO2 and O2.

Abstract
The role of molecular weight as a key physical property of macromolecules in determining the CO2-triggered switching characteristics of responsive emulsions prepared using CO2-switchable macromolecules has not been studied and is the focus of the current study. In this work, CO2-switchable chitosan of four different molecular weights is used to investigate the effect of molecular weight on CO2-triggered switching of CO2-responsive emulsions. The molecular weight of chitosan is shown to have an opposite effect on emulsification and demulsification by the CO2 trigger. Before bubbling of CO2, chitosan of higher molecular weight forms a more stable three-dimensional network structure in the continuous phase of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, which leads to the formation of a more stable emulsion. After bubbling of CO2, the chitosan of higher molecular weight makes the continuous phase more viscous, which leads to an incomplete demulsification as compared with the chitosan of lower molecular weight. Experimental evidence from the measurement of conductivity, interfacial tension and rheological properties is provided to support the proposed mechanism. This work is of great significance in guiding the selection of desirable CO2-switchable polymers for switchable emulsions of desired switching characteristics.

Abstract
Advanced switchable molecules and materials have shown great potential in numerous applications. These novel materials can express different states of physicochemical properties as controlled by a designated stimulus, such that the processing condition can always be maintained in an optimized manner for improved efficiency and sustainability throughout the whole process. Herein, the recent advances in switchable molecules/materials in oil recovery and oily waste cleanup are reviewed. Oil recovery and oily waste cleanup are of critical importance to the industry and environment. Switchable materials can be designed with various types of switchable properties, including i) switchable interfacial activity, ii) switchable viscosity, iii) switchable solvent, and iv) switchable wettability. The materials can then be deployed into the most suitable applications according to the process requirements. An in-depth discussion about the fundamental basis of the design considerations is provided for each type of switchable material, followed by details about their performances and challenges in the applications. Finally, an outlook for the development of next-generation switchable molecules/materials is discussed.

Abstract
Reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization of styrene was performed in an ethanol-water mixture using a Z-group carboxylated poly(N-acryloylmorpholine) (PNAM) macro-RAFT agent, and dialysis was performed against water to produce the PNAMx-PSy-COOH (PS = polystyrene) diblock copolymer latexes. This new formula is developed for the fabrication of pH-switchable copolymer latexes through an end-group response approach. The PNAM44-PS134-COOH latex is unstable at suitably low pH values (pH ≤ 4), and these aggregated spherical nanoparticles are redispersed successfully by adding base as determined by analysis of their dynamic light scattering (DLS) diameters and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data. Negative zeta potential (-19.4 mV at 0.02% w/w) of the original latex indicated that carboxylic acid end-groups were anchored on the surface of the PS core via the polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) process and exposed to the solvent. Protonation of carboxylate groups reduces the degree of hydration of the PS core with a great impact on the free energy of the core/solvent interface, inducing the aggregation of PNAM44-PS134-COOH latex particles. A comparative experiment where the carboxylic acid end-group is designed on the PNAM stabilizer block proves that no pH-switchable behavior occurs in this case. Moreover, the vesicle-like nanoparticles composed of PNAM44-PS428-COOH copolymers have an apparently anionic character (zeta potential ≈ -33.5 mV at 0.02% w/w) and are still pH-switchable with a lower critical flocculation point (pH 2-3). More importantly, the latex composed of PNAM118-PS151-COOH diblock copolymers is insensitive to the solution pH.

Abstract
Known for their adaptability to surroundings, capability of transport control of molecules, or the ability of converting one type of energy to another as a result of external or internal stimuli, responsive polymers play a significant role in advancing scientific discoveries that may lead to an array of diverge applications. This review outlines recent advances in the developments of selected commodity polymers equipped with stimuli-responsiveness to temperature, pH, ionic strength, enzyme or glucose levels, carbon dioxide, water, redox agents, electromagnetic radiation, or electric and magnetic fields. Utilized diverse applications ranging from drug delivery to biosensing, dynamic structural components to color-changing coatings, this review focuses on commodity acrylics, epoxies, esters, carbonates, urethanes, and siloxane-based polymers containing responsive elements built into their architecture. In the context of stimuli-responsive chemistries, current technological advances as well as a critical outline of future opportunities and applications are also tackled.

Abstract
Bioinspired honeycomb-like porous films with switchable properties have drawn much attention recently owing to their potential application in scenarios in which the conversion between two opposite properties is required. Herein, the CO2-gas-triggered ON/OFF switching wettability of biocompatible polylactic acid (PLA) honeycomb porous films is fabricated. Highly ordered porous films with diameters between 2.0 and 2.8 μm are separately prepared from complexes of nonresponsive PLA and a CO2-sensitive melamine derivative [N2,N4,N6-tris(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine, MET] via the breath figure method. The hydrophilic CO2-sensitive groups can be precisely arranged in the pore's inner surface and/or top surface of the films by simply changing the PLA/MET ratio. The sensitive groups in the pore's inner surface act as a switch triggered by CO2 gas controlling water to enter the pores or not, thus resulting in ON/OFF switching wettability. The largest response of the water contact angle of honeycomb films reaches 35°, from 100 to 65°, leading to an obvious hydrophobic-hydrophilic conversion. The improved surface wettability enhances the interaction between the cell and honeycomb film surface, thus resulting in a better cell attachment. Such smart properties accompanying the biocompatible polymer and biological gas trigger facilitate possible biomedical and bioengineering applications in the future for these films.

Abstract
CO2-Switchable surfactants are of great potential in a wide range of industrial applications related to their ability to stabilize and destabilize emulsions upon command. Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to reveal the fundamental mechanism of the reversible emulsification/demulsification processes of a dodecane-saline system by a CO2-switchable surfactant that switches between active (i.e., N'-dodecyl-N,N-dimethylacetamidinium (DMAAH+)) and inactive (i.e., N'-dodecyl-N,N-dimethylacetamidine (DMAA)) forms. The density profiles indicate that DMAAH+ could increase the oil-water interfacial thickness to a greater extent compared to DMAA. DMAAH+ could sharply reduce the interfacial tension of the dodecane-saline system, while DMAA only exhibits a limited decrease, which is in accordance with the experimental observation that DMAAH+/DMAA can reversibly emulsify/demulsify alkane-water systems. Our simulations showed that both the number and lifetime of hydrogen bonds (HBs) between DMAA and water are almost equal to those between DMAAH+ and water. In DMAA, the N atom connecting with the alkyl tail acted as a HB acceptor, while the N atom attached by a proton in DMAAH+ acted as a HB donor. Furthermore, the HBs between DMAAH+ and HCO3- at the interfaces are relatively limited. Hence, it is deduced that the HBs are insufficient to achieve the CO2-switchability of DMAA/DMAAH+. The Lennard Jones and coulombic potentials between DMAA/DMAAH+ and other species show that the coulombic potentials between DMAAH+ and water or anions (i.e., Cl- and HCO3-) sharply decrease with the increase of DMAAH+ and are much lower than those in models with DMAA. The enhanced coulombic interactions between DMAAH+ and anions lead to a remarkable reduction in interfacial tension and the emulsification of the alkane-saline system. Therefore, coulombic interactions are of crucial importance to the reversible emulsification/demulsification processes regulated by CO2-switchable surfactants, namely DMAAH+/DMAA.

Abstract
Multiresponsive polymers that can respond to several external stimuli are promising materials for a manifold of applications. Herein, a facile method for the synthesis of triple-responsive (pH, temperature, CO2 ) poly(N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylamide) by a post-polymerization amidation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is presented. Combined with trivalent counterions ([Fe(CN)6 ]3- ) both an upper and lower critical solution temperature (UCST/LCST)-type phase behavior can be realized at pH 8 and 9. PMMA and PMMA-based block copolymers are readily accessible by living anionic and controlled radical polymerization techniques, which opens access to various responsive polymer architectures based on the developed functionalization method. This method can also be applied on melt-processed bulk PMMA samples to introduce functional, responsive moieties at the PMMA surface.
