Ion specific effect, which is also known as Hofmeister effect, has been reported in numerous systems including ionic surfactant aggregates. Acyl amino acid surfactants have attracted growing attentions in the field of novel surfactants research due to their environmentally benign characteristics. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different salts containing NH and tetraalkylammonium (TAA), where alkyl = methyl (TMA), ethyl (TEA), and propyl (TPA), cations on the dilational rheological properties of interfacial film are stabilized by potassium N-cocoyl glycinate (KCGl). The interfacial behaviors were studied using oscillating drop shape analysis method. The interfacial tensions (IFTs) and dilational rheological parameters results illustrate that KCGl in the presence of salts has better interfacial activity and stronger intermolecular interaction, indicating that added cations contribute to denser molecular packing at oil-water interface. Ion specific effects were observed in the system. Among the cations, KCGl shows highest dilational modulus in the presence of NH. The overall interaction between cations and headgroups of KCGl decreases in the sequence NH >TMA >TEA ≈TPA, which follows Hofmeister series. The increasing hydrophobicity of TAA prevents the interaction between cations and KCGl's headgroup, and therefore prevent amphiphiles from packing closely at interface. The results present a theoretical origin for useful application of KCGl in cosmetics, petroleum and daily chemical industries.

The intricate interactions between stevioside (STE) and milk protein (mixtures of whey protein isolate and sodium caseinate, WPI/SC) as well as interfacial stabilization mechanisms were investigated. At the molecular scale, it was observed that the incorporation of the steviol hydrophobic skeleton enhanced the surface hydrophobicity of WPI/SC (from 1560.73 to 2175.

We present experiments involving oscillating droplets in aqueous cyclodextrin-surfactant solutions. In these experiments, α-cyclodextrin (αCD) and anionic surfactants exhibit remarkable viscoelasticity at the liquid/air interface, with dilatational modulus varying across orders of magnitude. This rheological response depends on the concentrations of different complexes in the solution, particularly of the 2 : 1 inclusion complexes formed by two αCD molecules (αCD), and one surfactant (S).

Hypothesis: Oilseeds use triacylglycerides as main energy source, and pack them into highly stable droplets (oleosomes) to facilitate the triacylglycerides' long-term storage in the aqueous cytosol. To prevent the coalescence of oleosomes, they are stabilized by a phospholipid monolayer and unique surfactant-shaped proteins, called oleosins. In this study, we use state-of-the-art interfacial techniques to reveal the function of each component at the oleosome interface.

Article Synopsis
- The interface between materials plays a crucial role in various applications, influencing phenomena like capillary action, adhesion, and heat transfer, while also being key to understanding molecular interactions.
- Pendant-drop tensiometry and the oscillating drop method are popular techniques for measuring surface and interfacial tensions, but can yield unreliable data if not conducted properly, emphasizing the need for careful material preparation and calibration.
- The protocol outlines best practices for accurate measurement and analysis, including purifying methods, data correction, and addressing common issues, and presents examples of interfacial tension measurements for different systems, though the entire process may take several days to complete.
Enhanced rare earth element recovery with cross-linked glutaraldehyde-lanthanide binding peptides in foam-based separations.

Hypothesis: Lanthanide Binding Tag (LBT) peptides that coordinate selectively with lanthanide ions can be used to replace the energy intensive processes used for the separation of rare earth elements (REEs). These surface-active biomolecules, once selectively complexed with the trivalent REE cations, can adsorb to air/aqueous interfaces of bubbles for foam-based REEs recovery. Glutaraldehyde, an organic compound that is a homobifunctional crosslinker for proteins and peptides, can be used to enhance the adsorption and interfacial stabilization of lanthanide-bound peptides films.
