Camellia oleifera shells are abundant in polyphenolic compounds. Green extraction methods of polyphenolic compounds are essential to ensure product quality, efficiency, process cost, environment, and safety. This study investigated the effect of Tween 80 and Rhamnolipid surfactants on the production and utilization of stabilized carbon dioxide nanobubbles (CO 2 -NBs). The results confirmed the presence of the CO 2 -NBs in ultra-pure water with a concentration of 8.45 ± 1.05 × 10 8 ml –1 , among which the stable CO 2 -NBs possessed a mean size of 40–90 nm and a negative zeta potential (−41.6 ± 1.3 mV). Further, the efficiency of CO 2 -NBs combined with ultrasonication (CO 2 -NBs-Rh-UAE) was evaluated to extract polyphenols from Camellia oleifera shells (waste). The CO 2 -NBs treatment with ultrasonication showed the highest total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) (36.75 ± 0.22 mg GAE/g DW and 24.06 ± 0.22 mg RE/g DW, respectively). Overall, this study demonstrated an innovative approach for producing, stabilizing, and utilizing biosurfactant stabilized CO 2 -NBs to extract polyphenolic compounds from the waste agricultural products. These findings highlighted the potential application of biosurfactant-stabilized CO 2 -NBs.

Blade-coated FAPbI3 films enable scalable PSCs but suffer from uncontrolled crystallization, impairing performance. We introduce a viscous nonionic surfactant, Tween-80 (polyoxyethylene 20 sorbitan monooleate, Mw = 428.6), to induce vertical recrystallization on the upper surface of FAPbI3 films. We find that the abundant hydroxyl (–OH) groups in Tween-80 can coordinate with Pb2+ and FA+ in the perovskite lattice, facilitating secondary nucleation and oriented crystal growth. Notably, surfactants with long alkyl chains and hydroxyl groups are known to strongly tune the perovskite crystallinity. This treatment yields FAPbI3 films with vertically aligned grains and a more oriented microstructure. As a result, small-area PSCs achieve a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.29%. Furthermore, these devices exhibit operational stability, retaining 97.82% and 91.48% of their initial PCE after 1800 h of aging under N2 conditions (O2, H2O <0.1 ppm) and atmospheric conditions (30 ± 5% RH, 25 °C), respectively. Notably, large-area devices with a total area of 7 × 7 cm2 (aperture area of 21 cm2) deliver a high PCE of 19.71%, demonstrating excellent compatibility with scalable fabrication. This work provides a simple and effective surface recrystallization strategy for producing high-quality, vertically oriented FAPbI3 films for industrial-scale PSC applications.

The occurrence of crop fungal diseases is closely related to warm environmental conditions. In order to control the release of fungicides in response to warm conditions, and enhance the efficacy, a series of thermo-responsive fungicide-loaded nanoparticles were developed. The fungicide azoxystrobin, solvent DEP, emulsifier Tween 80 and thermo-responsive component TDA were combined to create thermal-response oil phases, conditions for emulsification were then optimized. LDLS, zeta potential, FTIR, DSC, TGA, XRD, SEM and antifungal efficacy assays were carried out to investigate the characteristics and forming mechanism. The results indicated that the formula with 5 g azoxystrobin, 10 mL DEP, 6 mL Tween 80 and 2.5 g TDA constructed the proposed oil phase with the ability to transform from solid at 20 °C to softerned at 31.5 °C. Both DEP and TDA played key roles in interfering with the crystallization of azoxystrobin. The optimal T3t-c12 nanoparticles had a mean particle size of 162.1 nm, thermo-responsive morphological transformation between 20 °C and 30 °C, AZO crystal reforming after drying, the ability to attach to fungal spores and satisfied antifungal efficacy againstP. nicotianaPNgz07 andA. nigerA1513 at 30 °C. This report provides referable technical support for the construction of smart-release nanoparticles of other agrochemicals.

The two-dimensional nano MXenes have unique microstructures and physicochemical properties, showing great potential in enhancing or replacing traditional metal processing lubricants. Here, a stable oil-in-water emulsion was constructed by coassembling Ti3C2TX MXene modified with phosphonic acid containing C10 alkyl chain and Tween 80 at the oil–water interface. The emulsion exhibits efficient friction-reducing and antiwear performance as well as corrosion resistance. The effect originates from the formation of a physical adsorption film and tribochemical reaction film stabilized by the interlocking of long carbon chains on the friction interface. This study provides a model of “material functionalization-interface synergy” for developing metal processing lubricants.

Lipase-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers were prepared using Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 as the inorganic component and lipase from Aspergillus oryzae ( A. oryzae ) as the organic component. The influences of metal ions with different valence, various additives (surfactant), and synthesis conditions on the activity of the lipase hybrid nanoflowers were systematically investigated. Results revealed that the valence state of metal ions played an important role on the shape and activity of lipase hybrid nanoflowers. The synthesized lipase hybrid nanoflowers using bivalence metal ions (Ca 2+ , Mn 2+ , and Zn 2+ ) as the inorganic components exhibited relative high activity. However, very low activities were observed in the lipase hybrid nanoflowers using univalent metal ions (Ag + ) or trivalent metal ions (Al 3+ , Fe 3+ ). More importantly, Ca 2+ not only induced self-assemble of lipase hybrid nanoflowers, but also activated the enzyme activity by inducing conformational changes in lipase from A. oryzae . As a result, lipase/Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 hybrid nanoflowers (hNF-lipase) exhibited the high activity. The hNF-lipase displayed 9, 12, and 61 folds higher activity than lipase/Ag 3 PO 4 hybrid nanoflowers, lipase/AlPO 4 hybrid nanoflowers, and lipase/FePO 4 nanoflowers, respectively. Compared with free lipase, the hNF-lipase displayed 172 % increase in activities by using 0.15 mM Tween-80 as an activity inducer (activated hNF-lipase). Furthermore, the hNF-lipase and activated hNF-lipase exhibited increased stability against high temperature and denaturant, and had good storage stability and reusability.

Artemisinin has an endoperoxide bridge structure, which can be cleaved by ferrous ions to generate various carbonyl radicals in an oxygen-independent manner, highlighting its potential for treating hypoxic tumors. In our study, we fabricated Tween 80 micelles loaded with Fe3O4nanoparticles and artemisinin for cancer therapy. The synthesized Fe3O4nanoparticles and drug-loaded micelles have particle sizes of about 5 nm and 80 nm, respectively, both exhibiting excellent dispersibility and stability. After uptake by MCF-7 cells, drug-loaded micelles release Fe2+and ART into the cytoplasm, effectively inducing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in hypoxic conditions, thereby enhancing toxicity against cancer cells. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that ART and Fe3O4nanoparticles are encapsulated in Tween 80 to form micelles, which effectively prevent premature release during circulation in the body. Although free ART and Fe3O4nanoparticles can inhibit tumor growth, TW80-Fe3O4-ART micelles demonstrate a more pronounced inhibitory effect, with a tumor suppression rate of up to 85%. A novel strategy based on artemisinin and ferroptosis is thus offered, holding a favorable prospect for hypoxic cancer therapy.

Abstract Lignin removal from lignocellulosic materials plays a great role in the utilization cellulose with high efficiency. In order to improve the quality of reconstituted tobacco sheet, lignin existed in tobacco stem was removed by enzymatic hydrolysis with laccase enhanced by weak alkali treatment together with the addition of Tween 80 into laccase treatment system. It is found that lignin was partially removed by laccase. The treatment of tobacco stem with NaHCO 3 resulted in the dissolution of lignin, and hence increased the porosity and specific surface area of the pretreated tobacco stem. Consequently, laccase could access to the tobacco stem more completely. The surface activity and dispersion of Tween 80 improved laccase activity, solubilization of degraded products of lignin, and contact interface between laccase and tobacco stem. The synergistic action of laccase, weak alkali and Tween 80 improved the ratio of lignin removal significantly, reaching as high as 40.3%. Graphical Abstract

Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), an anionic polysaccharide , has been widely used as a clinical anticoagulant . However, repeated subcutaneous injection is sometimes required due to its short half-life. To reduce the dosing frequency, the injectable polypseudorotaxane hydrogel was fabricated by inclusion complexation formation between Tween 80 and α-Cyclodextrin (αCD) for sustained release of LMWH. The physicochemical properties of such hydrogel were characterized by SEM, XRD, DSC , and FTIR . This hydrogel showed shear-thinning and thixotropic behavior and was easily injected through standard syringe needles. The gelation time, mechanical strength, shear viscosity, in vitro drug release rate, in vitro hydrogel dissolution rate, and in vivo hydrogel retention could be tuned by αCD concentration in the hydrogel. In vivo safety evaluation indicated that the polypseudorotaxane hydrogel was biocompatible. Most importantly, this polypseudorotaxane hydrogel could sustain release of LMWH after subcutaneous injection.

Hypothesis This study compared the interfacial and emulsification properties of tea saponins , quillaja saponins, and Tween 80. We hypothesized that tea saponins are an effective and sustainable source of plant-based emulsifiers that could replace synthetic or animal-based emulsifiers in many commercial applications. Experiments Interfacial tension measurements were used to characterize the behavior of the three surfactants at an oil-water interface. The emulsifying properties of the surfactants were determined by preparing oil-in-water emulsions containing 10 wt% medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and varying surfactant levels (0.1–2 wt%) using high-pressure homogenization (pH 7). The impact of surfactant type on emulsion formation and stability was determined by measuring particle size, zeta–potential, microstructure, and creaming stability. Findings The tea saponins were capable of producing nano-scale droplets ( d 32 < 200 nm) at low surfactant-to-oil ratios (SOR < 0.1). Emulsions containing tea saponins remained stable to droplet aggregation when exposed to various temperatures (30–90 °C), salt levels (0–200 mM NaCl), and pH values (3–9). However, droplet flocculation and/or coalescence occurred under highly acidic (pH 2) and high ionic strength (300–500 mM NaCl) conditions. Tea saponin-coated oil droplets appeared to be mainly stabilized by a combination of electrostatic and steric repulsion. The tea saponins behaved similarly or better than the other two emulsifiers under most conditions. These results suggest that tea saponins are effective plant-based surfactants that may have applications in commercial products.

n -Hexane, a recalcitrant hydrophobic volatile organic compound (VOC), exhibits low bioavailability that limits its biodegradation in engineered bioreactors. This study incorporated a non-ionic surfactant (i.e., Tween 80) into a rotating drum biofilter (RDB) to enhance its removal efficiency. Tween 80 significantly reduced surface tension (from 72 to 45.15 mN·m −1 ), enhanced gas-liquid mass transfer and increased n -hexane removal efficiency from 42.93% to 87.83% (elimination capacity from 3.4 to 31.62 g·m −3 ·h −1 ). High-throughput sequencing revealed that Tween 80 shaped a resilient community structure across operational phases, the microbial community was dominated by Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria . At the genus level, Mycobacterium remained the dominant alkane degrader (>57%), maintaining degradation capacity even under substrate stress. Molecular ecological network analysis showed that ecosystem stability relied not only on dominant taxa but also on keystone genus with strong interaction capacity, including Bacillus , Nocardia , Microbacterium , Enterobacter , and Chujaibacter . Their presence indicates robust functional redundancy and interaction-based resilience, enabling rapid restoration of degradation performance once n -hexane a n d Tween 80 were resupplied. Overall, Tween 80 enhanced n -hexane biodegradation through two synergistic pathways: improving hydrophobic-substrate bioavailability and strengthening the ecological resilience of the microbial consortium by supporting functional persistence, cooperative metabolism, and rapid recovery. These findings provide a resilience-oriented mechanistic basis for optimizing surfactant-assisted RDB systems treating hydrophobic VOCs.

Redox-sensitive micelles based onhydrophilic hyaluronic acid-ss-hydrophobic curcumin conjugate were designed as a novel delivery system for gliomas targeting. Furthermore, the obtained micelles were further functionalized with Tween 80 (CUR-THSC) for better brain penetration. Dynamic light scattering experiment and in vitro release study showed that the synthetic disulfide-linked conjugate possessed redox-sensitivity under high glutathione conditions. Spherical micelles with a mean particle size of 74.2 nm, negative zeta potential (−30.25 mV), high entrapment efficiency (94.12%) and drug loading (8.9%) were obtained. XRD analysis of micelles revealed amorphous form of the encapsulated drug. CUR-THSC micelles showed good plasma stability and did not induce any hemolysis in erythrocytes. In addition, highest cytotoxicity in G422 cells was observed compared to the free curcumin group and non-sensitive micelles group. These results indicate that the Tween 80-modified hyaluronic acid-ss-curcumin micelles could emerge as a promising platform for the delivery of curcumin in the treatment of gliomas.

Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin interweave to form a dense network structure that makes lignocellulosic biomass difficult to degrade. Tween-80 is a non-ionic surfactant that can be used to promote microbial growth and increase the rate of microbial metabolism in compost. In this study, different doses of Tween-80 were presented as additives in the composting process to reduce the composting time and improve the maturity of the compost. The composting trial was conducted in a 10 L reactor for 46 days. The results showed that the addition of the chemical surfactant Tween-80 increased the temperature in the composting process and could effectively promote the degradation of lignocellulose and reduce phytotoxicity. During the composting process, the microbial population showed exponential growth followed by a gradual decline. At the end of composting, Tween-80 added at 0.35% reduced the C/N ratio to 9.61, much lower than that of the CK group at 12.3. Meanwhile, the degradation rates of cellulose and hemicellulose increased by 2.76% and 7.86%, respectively. Toxicity experiments on compost products also proved that the seed germination index of compost with 0.35% Tween-80 addition increased to 98.57%, which is 17.33% higher than that without the addition. FT-IR and TG experiments showed that the addition of Tween-80 could effectively accelerate the composting process and promote the rapid maturation of the heap. In conclusion, the addition of 0.35% Tween-80 was most conducive to promoting the rapid decomposition of organic matter in cassava residue compost and improving the maturity of the heap.
