Abstract
Saliva substitutes are human-made formulations extensively used in medicine, food, and pharmaceutical research to emulate human saliva's biochemical, tribological, and rheological properties. Even though extensional flows involving saliva are commonly encountered in situations such as swallowing, coughing, sneezing, licking, drooling, gleeking, and blowing spit bubbles, rheological evaluations of saliva and its substitutes in most studies rely on measured values of shear viscosity. Natural saliva possesses stringiness or spinnbarkeit, governed by extensional rheology response, which cannot be evaluated or anticipated from the knowledge of shear rheology response. In this contribution, we comprehensively examine the rheology of twelve commercially available saliva substitutes using torsional rheometry for rate-dependent shear viscosity and dripping-onto-substrate (DoS) protocols for extensional rheology characterization. Even though most formulations are marketed as having suitable rheology, only three displayed measurable viscoelasticity and strain-hardening. Still, these too, failed to emulate the viscosity reduction with the shear rate observed for saliva or match perceived stringiness. Finally, we explore the challenges in creating saliva-like formulations for dysphagia patients and opportunities for using DoS rheometry for diagnostics and designing biomimetic fluids.

Abstract
Ultrathin foam films (thickness, h < 100 nm) containing micelles undergo drainage via stratification manifested as coexisting thick-thin flat regions, nanoscopic non-flat topography, and the stepwise decrease in film thickness that yields a characteristic step-size. Most studies characterize the variation in step size and stratification kinetics in micellar foam films in a limited concentration range, c/CMC < 12.5 (c < 100 mM). Likewise, most scattering studies characterize micelle dimensions, intermicellar distance, and volume fraction in bulk aqueous SDS solutions in this limited concentration range. In this contribution, we show drainage via stratification can be observed for concentrations up to c/CMC < 75 (c < 600 mM). Understanding the stratification behavior of freely draining micellar films with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration varying in the range 10 mM ≤ cSDS ≤ 600 mM is essential for molecular engineering, consumer product formulations, and controlling foaming in industrial processes. Here, we visualize and analyze nanoscopic thickness variations and transitions in stratifying foam films using Interferometry Digital Imaging Optical Microscopy (IDIOM) protocols. We compare step size obtained from foam stratification to micelle dimension, micelle volume fraction, and intermicellar distance obtained from small angle X-ray scattering studies. Even though the volume fraction increases and approaches 25% at c = 600 mM, the solution viscosity only increases by a factor of four compared to the solvent, consistent with the findings from both stratification and scattering studies. These comparisons allow us to explore the effect of micelle size, morphology, and intermicellar interactions on supramolecular oscillatory structural disjoining pressure, which influences the stratification behavior of draining foam films containing micelles under confinement.

Abstract
The rheology of concentrated nanoemulsions is critical for their formulation in various applications, such as pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics, and templating advanced materials. The rheological properties of nanoemulsions depend on interdroplet interactions, Laplace pressure, dispersed phase volume fraction, and continuous phase properties. The interdroplet forces can be tuned by background electrolytes (i.e., charge screening), surfactant type, the excess surfactant micelle concentration, and depletant molecules such as polymer chains. In the current research, we study the effect of varying the content of poly(ethylene glycol)-diacrylate (PEGDA) on the interfacial tension of the water-oil phase and rheological properties of concentrated nanoemulsions with 50% and 60% volume fractions. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is used as the ionic surfactant. The final concentrated nanoemulsions are repulsive according to overall interaction potentials and are in the glass and compressed states based on the effective volume fraction estimation. They contain nearly same SDS concentration on the droplet surface and also in the bulk, but a different amount of PEGDA. The scaled rheological properties of the glassy nanoemulsions show a higher dependency on the PEGDA content and the possible effect of polymer-surfactant complexations compared to those of the compressed ones. This dependency is more pronounced in small strain amplitudes but not in large strains in the non-linear regime. These results provide insights into formulating concentrated nanoemulsions with controlled rheology for expanded application areas.

Abstract
Sodium caseinates (NaCas), derived from milk proteins called caseins, are often added to food formulations as emulsifiers, foaming agents, and ingredients for producing dairy products. In this contribution, we contrast the drainage behavior of single foam films made with micellar NaCas solutions with well-established features of stratification observed for the micellar sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) foam films. In reflected light microscopy, the stratified SDS foam films display regions with distinct gray colors due to differences in interference intensity from coexisting thick-thin regions. Using IDIOM (interferometry digital imaging optical microscopy) protocols we pioneered for mapping nanotopography of foam films, we showed that drainage via stratification in SDS films proceeds by the expansion of flat domains that are thinner than surrounding by a concentration-dependent step-size, and nonflat features (nanoridges and mesas) form at the moving front. Furthermore, stratifying SDS foam films show stepwise thinning, such that the step-size and terminal film thickness decrease with concentration. Here we visualize the nanotopography in protein films with high spatiotemporal resolution using IDIOM protocols to address two long-standing questions. Do protein foam films formulated with NaCas undergo drainage via stratification? Are thickness transitions and variations in protein foam films determined by intermicellar interactions and supramolecular oscillatory disjoining pressure? In contrast with foam films containing micellar SDS, we find that micellar NaCas foam films display just one step, nonflat and noncircular domains that expand without forming nanoridges and a terminal thickness that increases with NaCas concentration. We infer that the differences in adsorbing and self-assembling unimers triumph over any similarities in the structure and interactions of their micelles.

Abstract
Freestanding films of soft matter drain via stratification due to confinement-induced structuring and layering of supramolecular structures such as micelles. Neutral polymers, added as rheology modifiers to cosmetics, foods, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemical formulations, often interact with monomers and micelles of surfactants, forming polymer-surfactant complexes. Despite many studies that explore interfacial and bulk rheological properties, the corresponding influence of polymer-surfactant complexes on foam drainage and lifetime is not well understood and motivates this study. Here, we report the discovery and evidence of drainage via stratification in foam films formed with polymer-surfactant (PEO-SDS) complexes. We show that the stratification trifecta of coexisting thick-thin regions, stepwise thinning, and nanoscopic topological features such as nanoridges and mesas can be observed using IDIOM (interferometry, digital imaging, and optical microscopy) protocols we developed for nanoscopic thickness mapping. We determine that for polymer concentrations below overlap concentration and surfactant concentrations beyond the excess micelle point, polymer-surfactant complexation impact the nanoscopic topography but not the step size, implying the amplitude of disjoining pressure changes, but periodicity remains unchanged.

Abstract
The development of an eco-friendly nanopesticide formulation can alleviate the problems of low pesticide utilization and environmental pollution. However, the development of green nanopesticide carriers with ideal physical properties and specific bioavailability is still a challenging task at present. In this study, we propose a novel binary additive pesticide carrier system that is a functional polysaccharide-based polymer/surfactant (Alg-DA/APG) to improve the deposition and retention of pesticide droplets. The self-assembled micelle morphology of Alg-DA/APG and its effect on the apparent viscosity were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a Discovery HR-2 rotational rheometer. Surface tension was carried out to investigate the surface activity and critical micelle concentration (CMC) of Alg-DA/APG. The drop impacting experiments exhibited superior antisplash performance of Alg-DA/APG. Furthermore, a binary additive was used as the carrier material and loaded acetamiprid to prepare nanopesticide formulation Ace@Alg-DA/APG. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) and acetamiprid release behavior from Ace@Alg-DA/APG were also studied. Moreover, the dynamic contact angle (DCA) and retention experiment showed that the DCA and wetting radius at 600 s were, respectively, 6.8 ± 2.39° and 4.044 ± 0.0662 mm for the Ace@0.05 wt % Alg-DA/0.05 wt % APG on the banana foliage surface, and its retention rates on foliage surface were up to 74.80% after washing. The novel binary additive as a nanopesticide carrier has the potential to alleviate the problems of low pesticide utilization and environmental pollution in the future.

Abstract
Limited studies measure extensional rheology in protein solutions due to volume constraints and measurement challenges. We developed a small-volume, dripping-onto-substrate (DoS) extensional rheology device to measure the capillary thinning of protein and protein-excipient solutions via DoS for the first time. Ovalbumin (OVA) was used as a model system, examined via DoS both with and without excipient poloxamer 188 (P188). Water and dilute OVA break apart rapidly and demonstrate inertiocapillary (IC) thinning behavior, where longer breakup times in OVA can be attributed to lower surface tension. Further increasing OVA content leads to longer breakup times and deviations from IC thinning at the start of thinning, however, no evidence of elastic behavior is observed. P188 more effectively lowers the droplet surface tension than OVA, transitioning from IC behavior in dilute solution to weakly elastic behavior at higher concentrations. Combined protein/excipient formulations act synergistically at low concentrations, where breakup times are identical to those of the individual components despite the higher total concentration. However concentrated protein/excipient formulations exhibit elasticity, where extensional rheology parameters depend on P188 content and total concentration. These findings imply that excipients intended to stabilize proteins in shear flow can cause undesirable behavior in extensional flows like injection.
