Therefore, utilizing the self-assembly nature of polyoxyethylene (Brij S20 and Brij 58), appropriate pH-responsive micelle carrier systems have been designed to entrap and improve DT’s stability at an ambient temperature (25 °C) while preserving its quantity and biological activity. Comparing with the Brij S20 with the Brij 58 micelle carrier system, the latter demonstrated superior stability and entrapment of DT. In addition, it was found that DT’s stability in micellized condition is significantly influenced by both pH and temperature (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). The micelle system was capable enough to reduce degradation significantly. Additionally, the liberation of DT from micelle is greatly aided by acidic pH 1.5. Around 77% DT was released from Brij 58 system. Various biochemical analyses were done. The liberation of DT from the micelle in a controlled manner using lower pH as stimuli may facilitate its biological action at an individual’s gastrointestinal lumen or near cancer cell environment having lower pH. Additionally, it was made sure that the micellization method did not impair DT’s bioactivity or reduce appropriate biocompatibility. The current study increases the likelihood of creating a commercially available DT-loaded, micelle-based formulation for application in biopharma and food-related industries.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":520,"journal":{"name":"Colloid and Polymer Science","volume":"302 10","pages":"1603 - 1616"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141717494","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}

This study attempted to extract cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from ginger sticks to perform BR delivery and proceeded by characterizing the prepared CNCs and CNCs-BR by the results of DLS, TEM, FESEM, XRD, and FTIR. Moreover, various biophysical methods were used to investigate the interaction of BR-loaded CNCs with human serum holo-transferrin (HTF). The obtained outcomes confirmed the effectiveness of our spherical CNCs in reducing the size of the drug from 403.06 to 203.42 nm in CNCs-BR and consequently improving the solubility of BR. The XRD analysis approved the successful elimination of amorphous regions in cellulose, while the diminution of crystallinity index after the loading of BR indicated the occurrence of their interaction. The induced alterations in the functional groups and hydrophilicity enhancement of CNCs and CNCs-BR were displayed by FTIR. The fluorescence studies indicated the capability of CNCs-BR in interacting with HTF and quenching its fluorescence emission intensity through a static quenching process, which was revealed by the inverse correlation between Ksv values and temperature. In conformity to the results of synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, CNCs-BR caused more changes in the vicinity of Trp residue in contrast to Tyr, while the FRET analysis determined the energy transfer between HTF and CNCs-BR to be 0.18, and their distance to be 2.41 nm. The drawn conclusion from these observations confirmed the suitability of CNCs as a carrier for BR along with their improved bioavailability caused by the effective interaction between HTF and BR-loaded CNCs. The results also showed that loading BR on CNCs not only improved its water solubility but also led to a sustained release behavior in a simulated gastrointestinal condition of the body.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":520,"journal":{"name":"Colloid and Polymer Science","volume":"302 10","pages":"1617 - 1633"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141717467","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}

This study presents the development of a zwitterionic hydrophobic polymer, HPC-5, as an effective thickener using five types of polymeric monomers, including AM, AA, DMC, AMPS, and a non-ionic hydrophobic monomer. The method employed for synthesis was free-radical polymerization in solution. A series of experiments including viscosity measurement with variation of salinity, solubility and drag reduction test, crosslinking test, thermal and shear resistance, sand-carrying test, gel breaking evaluation, and core damage test were conduct under the simulated reservoir conditions. The zwitterionic design imparts great salt tolerance to HPC-5, and the apparent viscosities of HPC-5 solutions can maintain comparably high values with 10×10⁴ ppm NaCl and CaCl₂ concentration. Meanwhile, the molecules of HPC-5 associate with each other to form tight net structures, resulting in an excellent viscoelasticity of the solution. To achieve high pump rate during hydraulic fracturing operation in ultra-deep reservoirs, the delayed crosslinking agent ZDC-L was prepared for forming a delayed crosslinking gel fracturing fluid system using reservoir brine, and the drag reduction rate can reach over 70% before crossing link within 4 min. Under pH = 4 conditions, the crosslinking time can be significantly delayed to over 4 min while maintaining exceptional temperature resistance up to 160 ℃ for the gel. These properties make it highly suitable for hydraulic fracturing operations in ultra-deep wells with temperatures reaching up to 7000 m depth at pump rates of 4~5m³/min.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":520,"journal":{"name":"Colloid and Polymer Science","volume":"302 10","pages":"1591 - 1601"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141642769","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}

With the increasing focus on complex structures in current research, there is a demand for innovative and adaptable techniques to produce colloidal particles with precise sizes and size distributions. The Controlled Emulsion Extraction Process (CrEEP) is capable of addressing this challenge. Here, we present in detail how this synthesis works and demonstrate its reliability and versatility. Our approach exploits the time-dependent particle growth and enables accessing dispersions of controlled particle size distributions. We highlight these possibilities through a variation of the monomer feed and feed composition, resulting in gradual changes in both size and glass transition temperature, respectively. Beyond its application to polymer particles, CrEEP can be seamlessly extended to other seeded-growth mechanisms, such as the silica Stöber synthesis.
