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
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disorder that is triggered by bacterial plaque and causes the destruction of the tooth-supporting tissues leading to tooth loss. Several bacteria species, including Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, are considered to be associated with severe periodontal conditions. In this study, we demonstrated a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) immunoassay for quantitative assessment of the periodontal bacteria, A. actinomycetemcomitans. An immunosensor was constructed using a self-assembled monolayer of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA) on the gold surface of a QCM chip. The 11-MUA layer was evaluated using a cyclic voltammetry technique to determine its mass and packing density. Next, a monoclonal antibody was covalently linked to 11-MUA using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide to act as the biorecognition element. The specificity of the monoclonal antibody was confirmed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A calibration curve, for the relationship between the frequency shifts and number of bacteria, was used to calculate the number of A. actinomycetemcomitans bacteria in a test sample. Based on a regression equation, the lower detection limit was 800 cells, with a dynamic range up to 2.32 × 106 cells. Thus, the QCM biosensor in this study provides a sensitive and label-free method for quantitative analysis of periodontal bacteria. The method can be used in various biosensing assays for practical application and routine detection of periodontitis pathogens.

Abstract
Modulation of platelet-surface activation is important for many biomedical applications such as in vivo performance, platelet storage, and acceptance of an implant. Reducing platelet-surface activation is challenging because they become activated immediately after short contact with nonphysiological surfaces. To date, controversies and open questions in the field of platelet-surface activation still remain. Here, we review state-of-the-art approaches in inhibiting platelet-surface activation, mainly focusing on modification, patterning, and methodologies for characterization of the surfaces. As a future perspective, we discuss how the combination of biochemical and physiochemical strategies together with the topographical modulations would assist in the search for an ideal nonthrombogenic surface.

Abstract
The overall goal of this study is to develop thickness shear mode (TSM) resonators for the real-time, label-free, non-destructive sensing of biological adhesion events in small populations (hundreds) of neurons, in a cell culture medium and subsequently in vivo in the future. Such measurements will enable the discovery of the role of biomechanical events in neuronal function and dysfunction. Conventional TSM resonators have been used for chemical sensing and biosensing applications in media, with hundreds of thousands of cells in culture. However, the sensitivity and spatial resolution of conventional TSM devices need to be further enhanced for sensing smaller cell populations or molecules of interest. In this report, we focus on key challenges such as eliminating inharmonics in solution and maximizing Q-factor while simultaneously miniaturizing the active sensing (electrode) area to make them suitable for small populations of cells. We used theoretical expressions for sensitivity and electrode area of TSM sensors operating in liquid. As a validation of the above design effort, we fabricated prototype TSM sensors with resonant frequencies of 42, 47, 75, and 90 MHz and characterized their performance in liquid using electrode diameters of 150, 200, 400, 800, and 1,200 μm and electrode thicknesses of 33 and 230 nm. We validated a candidate TSM resonator with the highest sensitivity and Q-factor for real-time monitoring of the adhesion of cortical neurons. We reduced the size of the sensing area to 150–400 μm for TSM devices, improving the spatial resolution by monitoring few 100–1,000s of neurons. Finally, we modified the electrode surface with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) to further enhance adhesion and sensitivity of the TSM sensor to adhering neurons (Marx, 2003).

Abstract
In recent years, nanoplasmonic sensors have become widely used for the label-free detection of biomolecules across medical, biotechnology, and environmental science applications. To date, many nanoplasmonic sensing strategies have been developed with outstanding measurement capabilities, enabling detection down to the single-molecule level. One of the most promising directions has been surface-based nanoplasmonic sensors, and the potential of such technologies is still emerging. Going beyond detection, surface-based nanoplasmonic sensors open the door to enhanced, quantitative measurement capabilities across the biointerfacial sciences by taking advantage of high surface sensitivity that pairs well with the size of medically important biomacromolecules and biological particulates such as viruses and exosomes. The goal of this review is to introduce the latest advances in nanoplasmonic sensors for the biointerfacial sciences, including ongoing development of nanoparticle and nanohole arrays for exploring different classes of biomacromolecules interacting at solid-liquid interfaces. The measurement principles for nanoplasmonic sensors based on utilizing the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) phenomena are first introduced. The following sections are then categorized around different themes within the biointerfacial sciences, specifically protein binding and conformational changes, lipid membrane fabrication, membrane-protein interactions, exosome and virus detection and analysis, and probing nucleic acid conformations and binding interactions. Across these themes, we discuss the growing trend to utilize nanoplasmonic sensors for advanced measurement capabilities, including positional sensing, biomacromolecular conformation analysis, and real-time kinetic monitoring of complex biological interactions. Altogether, these advances highlight the rich potential of nanoplasmonic sensors and the future growth prospects of the community as a whole. With ongoing development of commercial nanoplasmonic sensors and analytical models to interpret corresponding measurement data in the context of biologically relevant interactions, there is significant opportunity to utilize nanoplasmonic sensing strategies for not only fundamental biointerfacial science, but also translational science applications related to clinical medicine and pharmaceutical drug development among countless possibilities.

Abstract
Quartz crystal microbalances (QCMs) provide a new analytical opportunity and prospect to characterize many environmental processes at solid/liquid interfaces, thanks to their almost real-time measurement of physicochemical changes on their quartz sensor. This work reviews the applications of QCMs in probing the interactions of organic molecules, nanomaterials (NMs) and microbes with solid surfaces. These interfacial interactions are relevant to critical environmental processes such as biofilm formation, fate and transport of NMs, fouling in engineering systems and antifouling practices. The high sensitivity, real-time monitoring, and simultaneous frequency and dissipation measurements make QCM-D a unique technique that helps reveal the interaction mechanisms for the abovementioned processes (e.g., driving forces, affinity, kinetics, and the interplay between surface chemistry and solution chemistry). On the other hand, QCM measurement is nonselective and spatially-dependent. Thus, caution should be taken during data analysis and interpretation, and it is necessary to cross-validate the results using complementary information from other techniques for more quantitative and accurate interpretation. This review summarizes the general methodologies for collecting and analyzing raw QCM data, as well as for evaluating the associated uncertainties. It serves to help researchers gain deeper insights into the fundamentals and applications of QCMs, and provides new perspectives on future research directions.

Abstract
Recent surveys have shown that the number of nanoparticle-based formulations actually used at a clinical level is significantly lower than that expected a decade ago. One reason for this is that the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles fall short for handling the complexity of biological environments and preventing nonspecific protein adsorption. In this study, we address the issue of the interactions of plasma proteins with polymer-coated surfaces. With this aim, we use a noncovalent grafting-to method to functionalize iron oxide sub-10 nm nanoparticles and iron oxide flat substrates and compare their protein responses. The functionalized copolymers consist of alternating poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains and phosphonic acid grafted on the same backbone. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation was used to monitor polymer adsorption kinetics and evaluate the resistance to protein adsorption. On flat substrates, functionalized PEG copolymers adsorb and form a brush in moderate or highly stretched regimes, with densities between 0.15 and 1.5 nm-2. PEG layers using phosphonic acid as linkers exhibit excellent protein resistance. In contrast, layers prepared with carboxylic acid as the grafting agent exhibit mitigated protein responses and layer destructuration. The present study establishes a correlation between the long-term stability of PEG-coated particles in biofluids and the protein resistance of surfaces coated with the same polymers.

Abstract
Characterizing the shape of sub-100 nm, biological soft-matter particulates (e.g., liposomes and exosomes) adsorbed at a solid-liquid interface remains a challenging task. Here, we introduce a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing approach to quantitatively profile the deformation of nanoscale, fluid-phase 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) liposomes contacting a titanium dioxide substrate. Experimental and theoretical results validate that, due to its high sensitivity to the spatial proximity of phospholipid molecules near the sensor surface, the LSPR sensor can discriminate fine differences in the extent of ionic strength-modulated liposome deformation at both low and high surface coverages. By contrast, quartz crystal microbalance-dissipation (QCM-D) measurements performed with equivalent samples were qualitatively sensitive to liposome deformation only at saturation coverage. Control experiments with stiffer, gel-phase 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) liposomes verified that the LSPR measurement discrimination arises from the extent of liposome deformation, while the QCM-D measurements yield a more complex response that is also sensitive to the motion of adsorbed liposomes and coupled solvent along with lateral interactions between liposomes. Collectively, our findings demonstrate the unique measurement capabilities of LSPR sensors in the area of biological surface science, including competitive advantages for probing the shape properties of adsorbed, nanoscale biological particulates.

Abstract
Surface immobilized bacteriophages (phages) are increasingly used as biorecognition elements on bacterial biosensors (e.g., on acoustical, electrical, or optical platforms). The phage surface density is a critical factor determining a sensor's bacterial binding efficiencies; in fact, phage surface densities that are too low or too high can result in significantly reduced bacterial binding capacities. Identifying an optimum phage surface density is thus crucial when exploiting the bacteriophages' bacterial capture capabilities in biosensing applications. Herein, we investigated surface immobilization of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa specific E79 (tailed) phage and the Salmonella Typhimurium specific PRD1 (nontailed) phage and their subsequent bacterial capture abilities using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). The QCM-D was used in two experimental setups: (i) a conventional setup and (ii) a combined setup with ellipsometry. Both setups were exploited to link the phages' immobilization behaviors to their bacterium capture efficiency. While E79 displayed characteristic optima in both the mechanical (QCM-D) and the optical (ellipsometry) data that coincided with its specific bacterial capture optimum, no optima were observed during PRD1 immobilization. The characteristic optima suggests that the E79 phage undergoes a surface rearrangement event that changes the hydration state of the phage film, thereby impairing the E79 phage's ability to capture bacteria. However, the absence of such optima during deposition of the nontailed PRD1 phage suggests that other mechanisms may also lead to reduced bacterial capture by surface immobilized bacteriophages.
