Affinity of Keratin Peptides for Cellulose and Lignin: A Fundamental Study toward Advanced Bio-Based Materials Langmuir (IF 4.331) Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Emmi-Maria Nuutinen, Juan José Valle-Delgado, Miriam Kellock, Muhammad Farooq, Monika Österberg
Keratin is a potential raw material to meet the growing demand for bio-based materials with special properties. Keratin can be obtained from feathers, a by-product from the poultry industry. One approach for keratin valorization is to use the protein to improve the properties of already existing cellulose and lignin-based materials to meet the requirements for replacing fossil-based plastics. To ensure

Wetting of Superhydrophobic Polylactic Acid Micropillared Patterns Langmuir (IF 4.331) Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Eda Hazal Tümer, H. Yildirim Erbil, Numan Akdoǧan
Superhydrophobic (SH) polylactic acid (PLA) surfaces were previously produced by various methods and used especially in biomedical applications and oil/water separation processes after 2008. However, the wettability of SH-PLA patterns containing micropillars has not been investigated before. In this study, PLA patterns having regular microstructured pillars with 12 different pillar diameters and pillar-to-pillar

Streaming Potential with Ideally Polarizable Electron-Conducting Substrates Langmuir (IF 4.331) Pub Date : 2022-08-04 Andriy Yaroshchuk, Emiliy Zholkovskiy
With nonconducting substrates, streaming potential in sufficiently broad (vs Debye screening length) capillaries is well known to be a linear function of applied pressure (and coordinate along the capillary). This study for the first time explores streaming potential with ideally polarizable electron-conducting substrates and shows it to be a nonlinear function of both coordinate and applied pressure

Solubilization of Aldehydes and Amines in Aqueous CiEj Surfactant Aggregates: Solubilization Capacity and Aggregate Properties Langmuir (IF 4.331) Pub Date : 2022-08-04 Peter Kroll, Gabriele Sadowski, Christoph Brandenbusch
Hydroformylation of olefins to aldehydes and subsequent reductive amination of aldehydes to amines takes place in an aqueous system using a water-soluble catalyst. It is limited to short-chain molecules due to an insufficient solubility of long-chain molecules in water. A promising approach to increase the solubility of long-chain aldehydes and amines is the addition of surfactants to the aqueous phase

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) are an innovation that reduces droplet-solid contact line pinning and interfacial friction. Recently, it has been shown that a liquid analogue of Young’s law can be deduced for the apparent contact angle of a sessile droplet on SLIPS despite there never being contact by the droplet with the underlying solid. Since contact angles on solids are used to

The molecular architecture of sugar-based surfactants strongly affects their self-assembled structure, i.e., the type of micelles they form, which in turn controls both the dynamics and rheological properties of the system. Here, we report the segmental and mesoscopic structure and dynamics of a series of C16 maltosides with differences in the anomeric configuration and degree of tail unsaturation

Nonreactive surfactant molecules have long been used and characterized for a wide range of applications in industries, life science, and everyday life. Recently, new types of functional amphiphilic molecules have emerged that bear another function, for example, a light-absorbing action, or catalytic properties. However, the surfactant properties of these molecules remain to date essentially unknown
