The optimized CAGB/CAPB/SLG mixture showed exceptional liquid unloading and foaming ability under high methanol (up to 40 vol.%) and condensate (up to 50 vol.%) content conditions. Trisodium aminotriacetate (NTA) facilitated the liquid unloading performance at a salinity of 90 g L<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>. With 10 vol.% methanol, the liquid unloading rate of CAGB/CAPB/SLG foam at 90 °C could be increased to 90 %.

These ideas also apply to the engineering and technology of cosmetic products. For this reason, and because of the multi-functionality of biosurfactants, their role and widespread use in cosmetic formulations is likely to increase. Biosurfactants tend to have good surface properties. Their structural diversity results in differences in biological, antioxidant or biocidal activity. The paper presents the potential of biosurfactants that could be used in the composition of products dedicated to the fight against the problems of ageing skin. Particularly important in the skin ageing process is the fight against radicals and the prevention of collagen loss in the skin. The overall appearance of the skin also depends on the level of hydration and roughness. Biosurfactants also have an effect on the melanogenesis process, controlling hyperpigmentation. A relatively new approach to the fight against skin ageing emphasizes the role of the microbiome, and available research also points to the correlation of biosurfactants with maintaining the correct structure of the microbiome.","PeriodicalId":22258,"journal":{"name":"Tenside Surfactants Detergents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140004472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two solutions were combined to form an emulsion by dispersing the kerosene solution into small droplets within the aqueous phase with the assistance of oleic acid. The surfactant reduced the interfacial tension between the two solutions, facilitating the emulsification process and stabilizing the droplets formed. A comprehensive understanding of the variables that control to the formation and stability of emulsions is essential for their effective development. For this purpose, the stability of oil-in-water emulsions was evaluated by measuring droplet size, turbidity, zeta potential, surface tension, and conductivity. Improved emulsion stability was correlated with smaller droplet size, increased turbidity, and reduced surface tension.

We determine the effect of adding three of the most used additives in formulation in health- and home care: propylene glycol, glycerol, and ethanol. The effects of additives are determined and compared in a concentrated isotropic phase above the LCST, a pseudo-lamellar phase, and a discotic nematic phase. The two latter are birefringent, and the nematic phase is viscoelastic. Propylene glycol acts as a co-solvent, improving the temperature stability of the nematic phase up to 20 wt% propylene glycol. Further addition of propylene glycol reduces the phase transition temperatures, inducing microstructural changes due to headgroup dehydration and preferential solubilization of the hydrophilic short chain surfactant. Glycerol acts as an anti-solvent, progressively decreasing phase transition temperatures by dehydration of headgroups. Ethanol is a good co-solvent for the surfactant-mixture. Adding up to 5 wt% ethanol increases the temperature stability of the nematic phase. Higher concentrations of ethanol lead to a single isotropic phase with increasingly molecular dissolution of the surfactants. The effect of the considered additives on molecular packing is followed by high resolution X-ray scattering.","PeriodicalId":22258,"journal":{"name":"Tenside Surfactants Detergents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139924826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, the interfacial tension of each system was investigated. After the emulsion was prepared, the droplet size was observed by microscope and the intensity of the backscattered light during the destabilisation process of the emulsion was tested with the stability analyser. The TSI value was calculated to evaluate the stability of the emulsion. Finally, the Berea core displacement experiment (chemicals are used to displace oil from the core) was carried out to test the ability to enhance the oil recovery. The experimental results show that the emulsion formed by the A/S/P system with the simulation oil has the best stability. The chemical displacement recovery is the highest, which is 32.15 %. The emulsion stability of the S/P system is second, and the chemical displacement recoveries are 17.03 % and 20.76 %, respectively. The polymer system has no interfacial activity, does not form an emulsion, and has the lowest chemical displacement recovery of 8.02 %. This shows that the deeper the degree of emulsification of the system and the more stable the emulsion, the better the oil displacement effect of the oil displacement system.","PeriodicalId":22258,"journal":{"name":"Tenside Surfactants Detergents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139469983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
