To construct a research framework, this review comprehensively analyzes the formation mechanism of CL cracks and outlines various approaches for crack morphology optimization. By combining linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and related research on the drying of colloidal films, the causes of CL cracks can be attributed to structural defects and stress concentrations. On this basis, the means of crack regulation are illustrated from the perspective of ink components and drying conditions. In the end, the impact of cracks on the performance of CL is analyzed and some novel crack inhibition techniques are introduced. Although this review organizes and summarizes the results of related research, there is still a gap in the field of CL crack research. This is evidenced by the lack of a more accurate mechanism for CL crack formation, the unclarity on the effect of crack morphology on CL performance, and the fact that methods to regulate cracking by changing the drying pattern have yet to be further investigated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"340 ","pages":"Article 103468"},"PeriodicalIF":15.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143600928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Valued at USD 138.2 million in 2024, the market is expected to reach USD 267.2 million by 2034. This growth is primarily driven by rising consumer demand for organic products, which has heightened interest in high-quality, non-toxic essential oils (EOs). Consequently, Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)-classified EOs are gaining attention as potential natural alternatives to synthetic food additives. However, due to its widespread use, LaEO is particularly susceptible to adulteration, often with Lavandin intermedia EO. To address this issue, mass spectrometry, and chemometric techniques have emerged as effective tools for authenticating LaEO and determining its origin. This review, therefore, investigates various quality indices, authentication techniques, and methods employed for LaEO traceability, with a specific focus on non-destructive approaches. Furthermore, LaEO's unique flavors and health benefits as food additives underscore the importance of maintaining stringent quality standards to ensure both product integrity and consumer health. Notably, NMR-based chemometric analysis, combined with GC/MS, is highlighted as an effective approach to detect adulteration, shaping the future role of LaEO in the food industry.

From this point of view, we highlight recent advances in BP research, particularly its tribology and lubrication properties. This paper introduces mainly the research progress of BP in the solid-liquid lubrication fields, and systematically expounds its friction nature from the perspective of macroscopic, microscopic, and computational tribology. Under special conditions (high load, oxidation, etc.), a long-term superlubricity performance of BP could be obtained, which far exceeded other traditional 2D lubrication materials (Gr, MoS₂, etc.). There were obvious deficiencies and misunderstandings about the macroscopic and microscopic superlubricity mechanism of BP lubricant, due to the complex and diversified frictional interfaces. The superlubricity mechanism of BP was roughly attributed to the multi-factor coupling or synergistic action in macroscopic, and it was still an open question whether there was secondary transition or contact area difference of the friction interface in microscopic. We believe that these deficiencies and misunderstandings are more ascribed to the lack of research on the interface transition behavior and mechanism during BP friction. We analyze and summarize the challenges and limitations in understanding BP's superlubricity mechanism based on macroscopic and microscopic experiments in the current BP friction research.
