This review critically synthesizes recent advances in biogel-based 3DFP through a multiscale structure-property-function framework. It compares the roles of molecular crosslinking and water confinement in hydrogels, oil-structuring networks in oleogels, and phase organization and interfacial coupling in bigels, linking these structural mechanisms to ink properties and macroscopic functionality. Building upon these colloidal and interfacial architectures, the discussion then connects formulation-dependent properties with key printing parameters to explain the shape fidelity, structural stability, and sensory-related and functional properties of printed structures.

This shape, along with the initial drop size, are generally preserved upon drop freezing or melting. However, in a series of studies, we demonstrated that simple temperature fluctuations near the melting point of the dispersed oil phase can spontaneously induce a wide range of dynamic behaviors in droplets. These activities include morphogenesis into various non-spherical shapes such as hexagonal, triangular, and tetragonal platelets, rods and fibers; the formation of complex composite micrometer-sized structures in the presence of adsorbed latex particles on initially spherical droplets; spontaneous desorption of the initially adsorbed particles; the generation of synthetic microswimmers capable of self-propulsion through the continuous phase, driven by the rapidly growing elastic filaments; spontaneous drop fragmentation and bursting into smaller particles (with sizes down to 20 nm) without any mechanical energy input; and the engulfment of the surrounding media spontaneously producing double water-in-oil-in-water droplets. All these phenomena were found to be intricately related to surface and polymorphic phase transitions proceeding within the droplets. The underlying mechanisms and control parameters were systematically investigated and published in a series of papers. The present review aims to summarize the key discoveries, present them within a unified conceptual framework, and compare them with other processes reported in the literature to lead to similar outcomes.

This review comprehensively analyzes advances in self-assembly-strengthened polymer systems for improved oil recovery (IOR), including molecular structure, synthesis methods and functional monomers from intrinsic principles and extrinsic functions and focusing on supramolecular interactions (hydrophobic association, host-guest inclusion, electrostatic forces), functional structures, and nanohybrid strategies.

And the practical efficacy is demonstrated through field validations in China, UAE, and Indonesia.

As hair ages and weathers, its friction increases, mainly due to the progressive loss of the protective 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA) monolayer on its surface. Hair also displays anisotropic friction due to the protruding edges of the cuticles, which can interlock when sliding towards the root of hair. Moreover, certain chemical (e.g. bleaching and colouring), thermal (e.g. straightening and curling), and mechanical (e.g. brushing and combing) processes can dramatically accelerate 18-MEA loss, leading to much higher friction and unsatisfactory sensory perception. Hair care products, and in particular conditioners, have been developed to temporarily repair this damage through the deposition of various chemicals on the surface of the hair. These formulations can reduce friction to levels similar to that measured for virgin hair. Other external factors can also affect hair friction, such as humidity and cleanliness, as well as biological characteristics, such as ethnicity and age. Here, we provide a perspective on the advances made in the field of hair tribology, meaning the friction, lubrication and wear of hair. Historic and state-of-the-art experimental, theoretic and computational techniques for measuring hair friction are reviewed. We discuss different hair friction mechanisms across the scales and review the roles of surface chemistry and surface roughness on hair tribology. The influence of hair care products on hair friction is further discussed.
