Due to their high surface energy, amphiphilic nature, and nanoscale dimensions, ZnO nanoparticles (ZNPs) can effectively function as Pickering stabilizers. The present study undertakes the stability of surfactant-reinforced O/W emulsions with ZNP-mediation under homogenization. The experiments were performed through Taguchi design, and the results were analyzed using the VIKOR approach. The responses included residual oil and ZNP contents, oil retention rate, droplet size/charge, emulsification index, and viscosity. UV–vis spectroscopy and DLS analyses demonstrated that introducing ZNPs facilitated the stability of O/W emulsions over time. The factor effect on the VIKOR index (<i>Q</i>_<i>j</i>) values revealed that temperature exerted the greatest influence (31%) on the response variable, closely followed by ZNP content (26%). CTAB content had a moderate impact (22%), while oil content had the least effect (13%). The optimal formulation was determined by selecting the levels that resulted in the lowest <i>Q</i>_<i>j</i> values, which were CTAB concentration at 450 mg/100 ml, oil content at 10,000 mg/100 ml, ZNP concentration at 50 mg/100 ml, and a processing temperature of 60 °C. The predicted recipe was assessed through a validation run and demonstrated well-fitting of experimental results. Such findings may be employed in optimizing the food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic, and fine chemical formulations.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":520,"journal":{"name":"Colloid and Polymer Science","volume":"303 6","pages":"1123 - 1138"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the flocculation behavior and mechanism of chitosan-based graft copolymers with different grafting monomers (i.e. carboxymethyl chitosan-grafted polyacrylamide (CMCP), carboxymethyl chitosan-graft-poly (acrylamide-dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride) (CMCPD), and chitosan-graft-poly (acrylamide-dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride) (CPD)) on the kaolinite (001) surface were investigated using molecular dynamics simulations, flocculation experiments and flocs size measurement. The interaction energy calculations revealed that the copolymers exhibited the following order: CPD (− 943.105 kcal/mol) &gt; CMCPD (− 522.812 kcal/mol) &gt; CMCP (− 340.026 kcal/mol). The calculated solvent-accessible surface area (SASA) showed that amphoteric CMCPD exhibited complete extension and unrestricted diffusion in solution, surpassing the capabilities of both CMCP and CPD. The diffusion coefficients of CMCPD, CPD, and CMCP, were determined to be 5.17 × 10^–10 m²/s, 2.68 × 10^–10 m²/s and 4.25 × 10^–10 m²/s, respectively. It can be inferred that the bridging ability of the CMCPD flocculant in solution is directly proportional to its higher diffusion coefficient. However, excessive adsorption of CPD onto kaolinite resulted in a reduction in the bridging capacity of CPD. The simulation results were validated by conducting flocculation experiments, and it was observed that CMCPD, possessing the strongest bridging capability, exhibited a significantly higher settling rate (19.47 m/h) compared to CPD (12.56 m/h) and CMCP (9.81 m/h). The analysis of flocs particle size further confirmed the superior bridging ability of CMCPD, as evidenced by its largest flocs particle size, thereby facilitating rapid settling.

UV-absorbance spectra revealed that drug absorption increased with the mole fraction of SDBS in the micelles, suggesting effective binding. The binding constants (<i>LogK</i>_<i>b</i>) for both drugs were higher in mixed SDS-SDBS micelles than in single-component micelles, with CTZ exhibiting stronger binding due to its electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The mean number of drug molecules per micelle (<i>i</i>_<i>o</i>) showed that CTZ occupied micelles more efficiently than DPC, correlating with the higher <i>K</i>_<i>b</i> values observed. The partition coefficients (<i>K</i>_<i>x</i>) from Kawamura’s model further indicated that CTZ had a greater affinity for the micelles compared to DPC. Additionally, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that the presence of CTZ and DPC resulted in larger micellar aggregates, with micelle size increasing as the mole fraction of SDBS rose. Molecular docking studies supported these findings, predicting that both drugs interacted electrostatically with the anionic surfactants, with CTZ binding more strongly due to its hydrophobicity and larger aromatic structure. These results provide a deeper understanding of drug-micelle interactions and highlight the role of electrostatic and hydrophobic forces in improving drug delivery systems.
