An aqueous biphasic system (ABS) comprising solutions of ammonium sulfate and polyethylene glycol-2000 (PEG-2000) in which the latter is supported on a porous polymeric substrate (Amberlite XAD-16) has been characterized by examining its performance in the removal of dyes from aqueous solution. Comparison of its behavior to that of a commercial sorbent (ABEC) consisting of a polyethylene glycol covalently bound to a polymer support indicates that the capacity, uptake kinetics, and efficiency of the supported ABS are comparable or superior to that of the ABEC resin. In addition, results obtained at various PEG-2000 concentrations and with PEGs of a range of molecular weights demonstrate that in contrast to ABEC resin, the behavior of a supported ABS can be readily "tuned" to provide the desired dye retention. The relative retention of various dyes is not generally predictable from their behavior in an analogous liquid-liquid system, however, the apparent result of synergistic effects between the XAD-16 support and the PEG phase.

: Drugs exhibiting poor aqueous solubility present a challenge to efficient delivery to the site of action. Spanlastics (a nano, surfactant-based drug delivery system) have emerged as a powerful tool to improve solubility, bioavailability, and delivery to the site of action. This study aimed to better understand factors affecting the physicochemical properties of spanlastics, quantify their effects, and use them to enhance the bioavailability of famotidine (FMT), a model histamine H2 receptor antagonist (BCS class IV).

Article Synopsis
- The biphasic system offers a unique approach for complex catalytic processes by combining photocatalysis with hydrogenation, highlighting both its potential and accompanying challenges.
- Researchers utilized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and CdS nanorods to create a dual-layer Pickering emulsion that effectively separates the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in the aqueous phase from oil-soluble hydrogenation.
- This innovative setup achieved an impressive hydrogenation yield of 187.37 mmol·g-1·h-1 and a high apparent quantum yield of 43.24%, demonstrating significant improvements over traditional methods and providing valuable insights for future tandem catalytic processes.
Solid lipid nanoparticles for increased oral bioavailability of acalabrutinib in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Acalabrutinib (ACP) is a first-line treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia but suffers from poor and variable oral bioavailability due to its pH-dependent solubility, CYP3A4 metabolism, and P-gp efflux. Thus, the objective of this study was to improve the solubility and dissolution behaviour, in turn enhancing bioavailability, by formulating solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). ACP loaded SLNs (ACP-SLNs) were prepared via solvent-free hot emulsification followed by a double sonication process.

Developing a mild and efficient pretreatment technique to fully utilize lignocellulosic biomass remains a challenge. In this work, a biphasic system with 2-phenoxyethanol (EPH) organic solvent and phosphotungstic acid (PTA) aqueous solution was employed to pretreat corn stover. The prominent synergistic effect between EPH and PTA was revealed to play a key role in the fractionation of corn stover.

An innovative process to multifunctional vitrimer nanocomposites with a percolative MXene minor phase is reported, marking a significant advancement in creating stimuli-repairable, reinforced, sustainable, and conductive nanocomposites at diminished loadings. This achievement arises from a Voronoi-inspired biphasic morphological design via a straight-forward three-step process involving ambient-condition precipitation polymerization of micron-sized prepolymer powders, aqueous powder-coating with 2D MXene (TiCT), and melt-pressing of MXene-coated powders into crosslinked films. Due to the formation of MXene-rich boundaries between thiourethane vitrimer domains in a pervasive low-volume fraction conductive network, a low percolation threshold (≈0.
