Abstract
How to fabricate multiresponse worm-like micelles (WLMs) and the corresponding green disposal is still challenging. A strategy of fabricating the surfactant-based WLMs that can respond simultaneously to light, heat, and pH was developed by using triple-response sodium (E)-2-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy) acetate (AzoNa) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)-hydrolyzable palmitoylcholine bromide (PCB). Under the optimal molar ratio of AzoNa to PCB (∼0.5), the PCB-AzoNa WLMs formed with a maximum zero-shear viscosity (η0) value of about 2.1 × 105 mPa·s and an average diameter (D) of 4.1 ± 0.6 nm under conditions of 37 °C and pH 7.4. After irradiated with 365 nm UV light for 80 min, AzoNa underwent the trans-to-cis transition, by which the PCB-AzoNa WLMs was destroyed; however, the PCB-AzoNa WLMs could be reformed upon the irradiation of 455 nm blue light for 18 h or heating at 70 °C for 45 min due to the cis-to-trans isomerization of AzoNa. When pH changed from 7.4 to 2.0, the PCB-AzoNa WLMs was destroyed rapidly because of the conversion of AzoNa to the acid form of AzoH, whereas the PCB-AzoNa WLMs could be reformed after pH was restored to 7.4. The multiple responsiveness of the PCB-AzoNa WLMs was reversible due to the reversible trans-cis isomerization or protonation of AzoNa. Besides, the average D values of light, heat, and pH-regenerated PCB-AzoNa WLMs were 4.2 ± 0.7, 4.0 ± 0.7, and 4.0 ± 0.6 nm, respectively. Finally, the PCB-AzoNa WLMs could be enzymatically disorganized under conditions of 37 °C and pH 7.4 due to the BChE-catalyzed hydrolysis of PCB. We hope that the fabrication and enzymatic disorganization strategies for PCB-based multiresponse WLMs presented here will find potential applications in the formulation of antimicrobial household and personal care products containing PCB and in the green disposal of viscous waste containing PCB.

Abstract
Generally, the solution viscosity of wormlike micelles (WLMs) assembled from common surfactants decreases upon an increase in the temperature, following the Arrhenius law. However, abnormal thermo-thickening behavior has been repeatedly observed for WLMs formed by ultra-long-chain (≥C18) surfactants. It would be useful to unravel the mechanism behind this phenomenon. Here, three C22-tailed surfactants with an erucyl tail, two of them containing carboxylate or sulfonate head groups (UC22DAB and UC22DAS) and a cationic one with an iodide counterion (UC22DAI), and two C18-tailed betaines with olemido- and stearamidopropyl hydrophobic chains (UC18DAS and C18DAS) were characterised in terms of their viscosity and viscoelastic behavior with increasing temperature to examine the roles of head groups, tail length and tail nature. Their micellar structures were elucidated at various temperatures using small angle neutron scattering (SANS), small angle neutron X-ray scattering (SAXS) and molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the thermo-thickening behavior of ultra-long-chain surfactants is ascribed to the prolonged persistence length and increased entanglement points. When the temperature is increased, an increase in viscosity is always accompanied by a longer persistent length, thus a larger hydrodynamic volume. The iceberg structure around the hydrophobic tail of surfactants can be destroyed at high temperatures leading to the self-assembly of these surfactants. In this self-assembly process, compared to cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants can form WLMs more readily due to weak electrostatic repulsions between their head groups; the longer tails give the surfactants enhanced hydrophobicity to form WLMs with a long breaking time; the cis-unsaturation and the resulting kink in the hydrophobic tails give the surfactants good solubility, which is not conducive to the formation of micelles. In brief, the zwitterionic, longer tail and saturated tail surfactants can form WLMs with a prolonged persistence length at elevated temperatures.

Abstract
Improved oil recovery (IOR) includes enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and other technologies (i.e. fracturing, water injection optimization, etc.), have become important methods to increase the oil/gas production in petroleum industry. However, conventional flooding systems always encounter the problems of low efficiency, high cost and complicated synthetic procedures for harsh reservoirs conditions. In recent decades, the supramolecular interactions are introduced into IOR processes to simplify the synthetic procedures, alter their structures and properties with bespoke functionalities and responsiveness suitable for different conditions. Herein, we primarily review the fundamentals of several supramolecular interactions, including hydrophobic association, hydrogen bond, electrostatic interaction, host-guest recognition, metal-ligand coordination and dynamic covalent bond from intrinsic principles and extrinsic functions. Then, the descriptions of supramolecular interactions in IOR processes from categories and advances are focused on the following variables: polymer, surfactant, surfactant/polymer (SP) complex for EOR and viscoelasticity surfactant (VES) for clean hydraulic fracturing aspects. Finally, the field applications, challenges and prospects for supramolecular interactions in IOR processes are involved and systematically addressed. The development of supramolecular interactions can open the way toward adaptive and evolutive IOR technology, a further step towards the cost-effective production of petroleum industry.

Abstract
We had previously confirmed a glucose-responsive decrease in the viscosity of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and phenylboronic acid (PBA) wormlike micelle (WLM) systems. However, the mechanisms of the formation of WLMs and the decrease in viscosity with glucose addition have not been determined. In this study, we elucidated the mechanisms using 3-fluorophenylboronic acid (3FPBA) based on 11B NMR and 19F NMR analyses. The system in 60 mM CTAB/60 mM 3FPBA at pH 7.4 demonstrated high viscoelasticity, and the formation of WLMs in the system was confirmed by rheological characteristics. The 11B NMR spectrum at pH 7.4 revealed that 3FPBA existed in a neutral form with sp2-hybridized boron; however, the 11B signal disappeared in the presence of CTAB. In contrast, 19F NMR studies indicated that the quaternary ammonium ion of CTAB interacts with the phenyl group of 3FPBA in the sp2 form via cation-π interactions. PBA derivatives react with various polyols; thus, we investigated the change in the viscous system after the addition of sugar and sugar alcohols. The viscosity of the WLMs decreased with increased polyol concentration, especially those of fructose and mannitol, in which the decrease was apparent at 40-160 mM polyols. The 19F NMR spectra revealed that polyol addition induced decrease in the sp2 form of 3FPBA and increase in the sp3 form of 3FPBA. Based on the results, we propose the following mechanism of the polyol response: (1) The WLMs are stabilized by CTAB and 3FPBA in the sp2 form using cation-π interactions as the driving force. (2) When polyol is added to the system, the sp2 form of 3FPBA decreases and its sp3 form increases. (3) This change means that the structural component of WLMs decreases, which induces the disruption of WLMs, and the viscosity decreases. The formation and deformation mechanisms of the WLMs determined in this study are notable because 3FPBA interacts as a neutral compound, whereas CTAB often interacts with anionic aromatic compounds to form WLMs. Without 19F NMR measurements, these mechanisms would not have been discovered.

Abstract
The high dosage of surfactant terribly restrains the extensive application of viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fracturing fluid. In this study, a novel gemini surfactant (GLO) with long hydrophobic tails and double bonds was prepared and a VES fracturing fluid with a low concentration of GLO was developed. Because of the long tails bending near the double bonds, there is a significant improvement of the surfactant aggregate architecture, which realized the favorable viscosity of the VES fluid at a more economical concentration than the conventional VES fracturing fluids. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (1H NMR, 13C NMR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) were employed to study the formation of the product and the structure of GLO. The designed GLO was produced according to the results of the structure characterizations. The formula of the VES fracturing fluid was optimized to be 2.0 wt % GLO + 0.4 wt % sodium salicylate (NaSal) + 1.0 wt % KCl based on the measurements of the viscosity. The viscosity of the VES fluid decreased from 405.5 to 98.7 mPa·s as the temperature increased from 18 to 80 °C and reached equilibrium at about 70.2 mPa·s. The VES fluid showed a typical elastic pseudoplastic fluid with a yield stress of 0.5 Pa in the rheological tests. It realized a proppant setting velocity as low as 0.08 g/min in the dynamic proppant transport test carried by GLO-based VES fracturing fluid. Compared to the formation water, the filtrate of the VES fracturing fluid decreased the water contact angle (CA) from 56.2 to 45.4° and decreased the water/oil interfacial tension (IFT) from 19.5 to 1.6 mN/m. Finally, the VES fracturing fluid induced a low permeability loss rate of 10.4% and a low conductivity loss rate of 5.4% for the oil phase in the experiments of formation damage evaluation.

Abstract
The gemini-like surfactants have been constructed by compounding N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine (UC22AMPM) and o-phthalic acid (o-PA), m-phthalic acid (m-PA), or p-phthalic acid (p-PA), and are denoted as o-EAPA, m-EAPA, and p-EAPA, respectively. It is well known that inorganic salts have significant effects on surfactant aggregates, and herein the effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) on gemini-like surfactants is explored by rheological and dynamic light scattering measurements, and cryo-TEM. It is found that the viscoelasticity of the EAPA systems first increases and then decreases with an increase of the NaCl concentration. And the optimal NaCl concentrations for these three systems are in the order of o-EAPA < m-EAPA < p-EAPA due to different spacer distances between the two carboxyl groups in the phthalic acid. Similar trends in the N,N-dimethyl oleoaminde-propylamine (DOAPA) and o-PA, m-PA, or p-PA systems were also observed. The results show that an appropriate NaCl concentration will promote gemini-like surfactants to form wormlike micelles (WLMs). Upon further increasing the NaCl concentration, the WLMs transform into vesicles. Excessive NaCl concentration will cause the surfactant systems to reach their cloud point and make the surfactants precipitate out. The mechanism of the effects of NaCl is that Cl- reduces the electrostatic repulsion between the headgroups of the surfactants. This work is helpful in understanding the effects of inorganic salts on the surfactants and this study is useful for exploring the practical applications of gemini-like surfactants.

Abstract
Wormlike micelles (WLMs) have been successfully constructed from many different C22-tailed surfactants. Here, we creatively introduced a bulky piperazine group onto a C22-tailed zwitterionic surfactant, N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-piperazine-N-methyl ammonium propanesulfonate (EDPS), and investigated the micellar structure and properties of the EDPS WLMs via molecular dynamics simulation, cryo-TEM and rheological techniques. It was found that 25 mM EDPS increased the zero-shear viscosity to as high as ∼106 mPa s. Furthermore, abnormal rheological behaviors, such as an inflection in the shear thinning region of steady rheology and an abrupt decrease of the shear stress at a critical shear rate, were observed, which was attributed to the unique ladder shape micellar structure. The EDPS WLMs were superior to other C22-tailed surfactants in many aspects, such as a low overlapping concentration, higher viscosity, stable viscosity over the whole pH range, and great temperature and salt (NaCl, CaCl2 and MgCl2) tolerance.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Ultra-long-chain surfactants, particularly C22-tailed ones, have attracted considerable attention because of their ease of self-assembly into wormlike micelles (WLMs). Commercial C22-tailed surfactants often contain non-negligible amounts of chemical residues introduced during their production. Since the noncovalent driving force of wormlike self-assembly can be greatly affected by the composition, we hypothesized that the residual chemicals could play a significant role in tuning the micelle microstructure and macroscopic properties of the surfactants. EXPERIMENTS To confirm this hypothesis, a highly pure (>99%) C22-tailed cationic surfactant, N-erucylamidopropyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium iodide (EDAI) was synthesized, and various amounts of corresponding reactants (iodomethane or N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine) or solvents (acetone) commonly used in surfactant synthesis were introduced as residues. The impact of each individual residue on the macroscopic appearances, rheological properties, and micelle morphology of the surfactant solution were investigated. FINDINGS Increasing the residue fraction in the EDAI solution resulted in an initial increase, followed by a dramatic drop in solution viscosity. This behavior was described in terms of micellar structural transformations based on analysis of cryo-TEM observations and surface tension measurements. These findings are of crucial importance in understanding the sophisticated behaviors of WLMs and will benefit the industrial preparation of ultra-long-chain surfactants for commercial use.

Abstract
A worm-like micelle (WLM) system can be obtained by mixing long-chain cationic surfactants and polybasic organic acids in an aqueous solution. However, the effect of different organic acid structures on the rheological behavior of WLM systems has not been researched. Herein, a novel pH-responsive wormlike micelle system (EATA) was constructed by the complexation of N-erucamidopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine (UC22AMPM) and benzene tricarboxylic acid (TA) at a molar ratio of 3 : 1. UC22AMPM/citric acid (EACA) was also prepared to perform a comparison. The rheological behavior, aggregate transformation and thickening mechanism of EATA solutions were investigated by using rheological measurements, cryo-TEM, DLS, surface tension and 1H NMR. The results show that, at low pH, spherical micelles were formed and the EATA solution exhibited a lower viscosity than the EACA system due to the strong hydrophobicity of the phenyl groups of TA molecules, but the viscosity reaches 106 mP s at pH 4.80. Because of the lower pKa value of TA than CA, the viscosity of the EATA system drops sharply with the appearance of precipitates caused by the isoelectric point when the pH is greater than 4.80. In addition, by circularly changing the pH value several times, the wormlike micelles could maintain their original viscoelasticity without being weakened in the slightest.

Abstract
A dynamic covalent bond is widely used to fabricate stimuli responsive systems due to its reversible molecular recognition properties. In this study, we developed a pH-responsive morphology transition system based on a mixture of a cationic surfactant CTAB and two nonamphiphilic precursors, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (HB) and octylamine (OA), at a molar ratio of 100 : 60 : 60 (CTAB/HB/OA). The morphology transition of CTAB/HB/OA was characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, macroscopic appearance observation, dynamic light scattering, and rheological and cryo-TEM measurements. The phase behavior of CTAB/HB/OA solutions underwent transition from a water-like fluid to a transparent gel-like solution and then converted into a turbid low-viscosity solution upon increasing the pH. Upon increasing the pH from 4.93 to 7.99, the morphology was transformed from spherical micelles to wormlike micelles. Upon further increasing the pH to 12.02, the wormlike micelles gradually disappeared with the formation of vesicles. Thus, a morphology transition from micelles to vesicles can be triggered by varying the pH of CTAB/HB/OA solutions. This drastic variation in morphology behavior was attributed to the pH dependent ionization and formation of the anionic surfactant HB-OA-. Besides, over 3 cycles of morphological alternation among spherical micelles, wormlike micelles and vesicles of the CTAB/HB/OA solutions can be obtained by adjusting the pH.

Abstract
Responsive wormlike micelles are very useful in a number of applications, whereas it is still challenging to create dramatic viscosity changes in anionic surfactant systems. Here a differential pH-responsive wormlike micelle based on sulfonic surfactants was developed, which is formed by mixing sodium dodecyl trioxyethylene sulphate (SDES) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium (EDTA4-·4Na+) at the molar ratio of 1 : 1. The phase behavior, aggregate microstructure and viscoelasticity of the SDES/EDTA4-·4Na+ solution were investigated via macroscopic observation, cryo-TEM and rheological measurements. It was found that the phase behavior of the SDES/EDTA4-·4Na+ solution undergoes transitions from a water-like fluid to viscoelastic upon decreasing the pH. On decreasing the pH from 12.01 to 3.27 by adding HCl, the viscosity of the transparent solutions with wormlike micelles was increased rapidly and reached ∼3100 mPa s. Furthermore, on increasing the pH by adding NaOH, the viscosity was slightly increased due to the addition of Na+. However, the increase in the concentration of Na+ is much smaller than the theoretical addition. The same phenomenon was noted in the sodium citrate solution, but does not exist in the sodium formate system. The viscosity of the micellar solution has a sensitive response to inorganic acids and tolerance to inorganic bases due to the characteristics of polybasic acids.

Abstract
Despite the considerable advances of molecular-thermodynamic theory of micelle growth, agreement between theory and experiment has been achieved only in isolated cases. A general theory that can provide self-consistent quantitative description of the growth of wormlike micelles in mixed surfactant solutions, including the experimentally observed high peaks in viscosity and aggregation number, is still missing. As a step toward the creation of such theory, here we consider the simplest system - nonionic wormlike surfactant micelles from polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, CiEj. Our goal is to construct a molecular-thermodynamic model that is in agreement with the available experimental data. For this goal, we systematized data for the micelle mean mass aggregation number, from which the micelle growth parameter was determined at various temperatures. None of the available models can give a quantitative description of these data. We constructed a new model, which is based on theoretical expressions for the interfacial-tension, headgroup-steric and chain-conformation components of micelle free energy, along with appropriate expressions for the parameters of the model, including their temperature and curvature dependencies. Special attention was paid to the surfactant chain-conformation free energy, for which a new more general formula was derived. As a result, relatively simple theoretical expressions are obtained. All parameters that enter these expressions are known, which facilitates the theoretical modeling of micelle growth for various nonionic surfactants in excellent agreement with the experiment. The constructed model can serve as a basis that can be further upgraded to obtain quantitative description of micelle growth in more complicated systems, including binary and ternary mixtures of nonionic, ionic and zwitterionic surfactants, which determines the viscosity and stability of various formulations in personal-care and house-hold detergency.
