In this work, the ZEIN-HTCC nanoparticles formed by zein and N-(2-hydroxy)propyl-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC) were used as stabilizers to prepare oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsions. The preparation conditions including shearing time, volume fraction of corn oil, mass ratio of ZEIN:HTCC and total concentration of ZEIN-HTCC of emulsions were optimized by measuring the droplet size, zeta potential, PDI and surface tension of emulsions. The ZEIN-HTCC emulsions are stable at the pH range of 4-9 and in the low salt ion concentrations up to 0.2 mol L, and can keep stable up to 21 d during low temperature storage. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze the interaction between emulsion components, revealing that zein and HTCC form a composite layer by flocculation to adsorb on the surface of oil droplets, thus preventing emulsion droplets from aggregation. This novel, long-term stable, surfactant-free, and edible zein-based Pickering emulsion could be used as potential carriers for lipophilic nutrients delivery.

Herein, we present a novel liquid crystal (LC)-based sensing platform utilizing microgel-stabilized Pickering LC droplets dispersed in water for simple and label-free detection of proteins in an aqueous environment. This could be achieved by tailoring the surface of 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) LC droplets dispersed in aqueous medium through the interfacial adsorption of poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel particles, followed by the introduction of model surfactants, such as anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate and cationic dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide. These surfactant/microgel complex-coated LC droplets underwent a configurational transition from radial-to-bipolar under a polarized optical microscope, upon exposure to model proteins, namely bovine serum albumin and lysozyme.

Traditional photopolymerizations generally requires an initiator for initiating the polymerization while few cases have created degradable chemical bonds. Moreover, the migration instability and cytotoxicity of photo initiators are posing issues to human health and the environment. In this work, we discovered an initiator-free photo polycondensation system (IFPPC) between polymercaptans and aldehyde monomers, producing high strength plastic materials with exchangeable and degradable dithioacetal groups.

Biphasic system not only presents a promising opportunity for complex catalytic processes, but also is a grand challenge in efficient tandem reactions. As an emerging solar-to-chemical conversion, the visible-light-driven and water-donating hydrogenation combines the sustainability of photocatalysis and economic-value of hydrogenation. However, the key and challenging point is to couple water-soluble photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with oil-soluble hydrogenation.

A novel Pickering interfacial biocatalysis (PIB) system has been, for the first time, successfully applied for the enzymatic selective hydrolysis of algae oils and fish oils to enrich n-3 PUFAs glycerides. Lipase AY 400SD was identified and adsorbed on hydrophobic hollow core-shell silica nanoparticles, resulting in the formation of the immobilized enzyme AY 400SD@HMSS-C. The biocatalyst was employed as an emulsifier to stabilize the water-in-oil Pickering emulsion, resulting in the successful construction of the PIB system.
