Dynamic interfacial tension measurements were used to investigate the kinetics of the diffusion/adsorption of surfactant molecules at the benzene-water interface. Measurements were performed on stearic acid and capric acid by the pendant drop method at both benzene-acidic aqueous and benzene-basic aqueous interfaces. The process takes place by different mechanisms in the acidic and basic aqueous phases. The mechanism of the interfacial neutralization of stearic acid with sodium hydroxide is discussed.

When it comes to enzyme stability and their application in organic solvents, enzyme biocatalysis has emerged as a popular substitute for conventional chemical processes. However, the demand for enzymes exhibiting improved stability remains a persistent challenge. Organic solvents can significantly impacts enzyme properties, thereby limiting their practical application.

Ostwald ripening is a diffusional mass transfer process that occurs in polydisperse emulsions, often with the result of threatening the emulsion stability. In this work, we design a simulation protocol that is capable of quantifying the process of Ostwald ripening at the molecular level. To achieve experimentally relevant time scales, the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation protocol is implemented.

We present results of a combined vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and infrared (IR) photoabsorption study of amorphous benzene : water mixtures and layers to investigate the benzene-water interaction in the solid phase. VUV spectra of 1 : 1, 1 : 10 and 1 : 100 benzene : water mixtures at 24 K reveal a concentration dependent shift in the energies of the 1B2u, 1B1u and 1E1u electronic states of benzene. All the electronic bands blueshift from pure amorphous benzene towards gas phase energies with increasing water concentration.

Pickering emulsions combining surface-active and catalytic properties offer a promising platform for conducting interfacial reactions between immiscible reagents. Despite the significant progress in the design of Pickering interfacial catalysts for a broad panel of reactions, the dynamics of Pickering emulsions under reaction conditions is still poorly understood. Herein, using benzene hydroxylation with aqueous HO as a model system, we explored the dynamics of benzene/water Pickering emulsions during reaction by dissipative particle dynamics.

We report two-phase coarse-grained (CG) simulations of organic-water liquid-liquid interfaces with the MARTINI force field. We discuss the ability of the CG force field to predict quantitatively the interfacial tension of alkanes-water, benzene-water, chloroform-water, and alcohol-water systems. The performance of the prediction of the interfacial tension is evaluated through its dependence on temperature and alkane length.
