However, rational design of surfaces using suitable biomacromolecules to attain optimal physicochemical performance, biocompatibility, cell adhesion and anti-fouling properties is quite challenging. Resilin-mimetic polypeptides (RMPs) are intrinsically disordered biomacromolecules that exhibit multi-stimuli responsive behaviour, including reversible dual-phase thermal behaviour forming self-assembled nano- to microstructures. However, there is a limited understanding of the effect of morphological features of RMP-based nanostructures, and their influence on surface properties. Therefore, in this study, a family of responsive RMP-based nanostructured coatings (nano-coacervates, nanogels and nano-bioconjugates) are fabricated to investigate their various surface properties that influence cell-surface interactions. The effects of their physicochemical properties, such as conformation, packing density, charge, roughness, and stiffness, are investigated using atomic force microscopy, neutron scattering and reflectometry techniques. Biocompatibility and microbiological testing show that these nanostructured switchable responsive coatings can be applied to a wide range of substrates to modulate biofilm formation and attribute antimicrobial characteristics.

Traditional physical experiments are constrained by scale, complexity, and difficulty in reproducing real subsurface conditions, while conventional numerical simulation models struggle to capture the multi-scale dynamics of fluid flow in low-permeability formations. Many current approaches fail to incorporate key microscopic mechanisms, such as capillary effects, wettability alterations, and multi-phase interactions, leading to inaccuracies in predicting hydrocarbon accumulation. To address these challenges, this study provides a comprehensive review of HMA simulation techniques and proposes a novel multi-scale quantitative numerical simulation method. The approach integrates the lattice Boltzmann method for pore-scale fluid dynamics, pore network modeling for core-scale characterization, and geological modeling methods for reservoir-scale simulations. The results demonstrate that wettability, influenced by high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, plays a critical role in hydrocarbon accumulation by reducing capillary pressure and enhancing migration efficiency.

Polypyridyl-based heterocycles have been widely employed as corrosion inhibitors in the aqueous phase as they provide long-lasting, consistent and efficient protection. The unshared nitrogen electron pairs in polypyridyl-based corrosion inhibitors significantly coordinate with the metal substrates. Corrosion inhibitors based on polypyridyls increase polarization or charge transfer resistance (<em>R</em>_p or <em>R</em>_ct) and decrease corrosion current density (i_corr) by blocking active sites. Their adsorption, coordination, and chelation are thermodynamically advantageous due to their chelating nature, which results in positive entropy change (S &gt; 0). They adhere to several isotherms during their adsorption on the metallic surface. The review article discusses the inhibition potential of polypyridyl-based corrosion inhibitors, their adsorption, coordination, chelation and mechanism of corrosion protection. The challenges and opportunities of using polypyridyl-based corrosion inhibitors in coating and aqueous phase applications have also been surveyed.

Molecular interactions that can be used to guide lignin self-assembly are systematically explored, categorizing them into physicochemical interaction-driven assembly and external stimuli or template-driven assembly. Published findings are examined to reveal molecular mechanisms governing lignin aggregation into lignin nanoparticles (LNPs), films, and interfacial behavior in Pickering emulsions that have potential to be used industrially. Recent advancements in experimental techniques are explored to provide deeper insights into lignin's self-assembly processes. Hydrophobic effects, π-π stacking, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic layering, polyelectrolyte complex formation, chain entanglement, and covalent cross-linking are critically assessed as potential means to control the self-assembly of lignin and systems involving lignin. Additionally, external factors, such as chemical dehydration, solvent-mediated interactions, and external fields are examined related to their role in templating lignin assembly. Based on a comprehensive review of the literature, hydrophobic interactions are predominant in lignin aggregation, with hydrophobicity degrees varying significantly across lignin samples. Interfacial rheology studies demonstrate that lignosulfonate exhibits maximum storage moduli at oil-water interfaces, significantly enhancing emulsion stability. Additionally, modified lignins via esterification contribute larger lifetimes of water-in-oil emulsions stability under varying salinity and oil types. The integration of molecular modeling with experimental characterization techniques can further optimize lignin-based materials for multiple applications, such as drug delivery, catalysis, advanced pesticide delivery systems, bioplastics, 3D printing, and emulsification, among many others.
