Gelatin (GE) is a versatile biopolymer with many valuable properties, particularly in the context of food packaging (FPack). Its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and ability to form porous structures make it ideal for various applications. This review examines the applications of electrospun GE-based nanofibers (EGFs) and their recent advances in FPack. The majority of EGFs are determined to be biodegradable and biocompatible, with the ability to form a highly porous structure with outstanding characteristics, making them appropriate for a broad range of applications, including FPack. However, native GE has limitations, such as sensitivity to moisture, which can restrict its use in certain applications. To address these limitations, researchers are exploring ways to enhance the properties of GE-based materials. EGFs are produced with a variety of natural and synthetic ingredients to increase their physical, mechanical, elastic, water resistance, vapor barrier, UV-blocking, and thermal stability properties. Furthermore, EGFs have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that help to extend the shelf life of many food products. The prospective uses, challenges, and limitations of EGFs in FPack are also addressed. Overall, EGFs show promise as a sustainable and effective packaging material, but further research is needed to optimize their properties and ensure their safety for use in FPack.

Based on interface science, research and application analysis are carried out on the interface action mechanism of resin-based plugging agents in the field of formation plugging. This paper outlines the classification, structural characterization, and performance evaluation of resin-based plugging agents. It reviews the research progress and current applications of thermosetting, swelling filling, temperature-sensitive adhesive, and composite resins in the plugging engineering field, elucidating their interfacial mechanisms, which include: dynamic crosslinking curing at the fluid-formation interface, adaptive swelling-filling at the interface of plugging agents, interfacial adhesion enhancement induced by thermal response, and multiphase composite synergism at complex interfaces. The paper also proposes future directions and application prospects for resin plugging agents. Current technologies face challenges such as interfacial adaptability under extreme environments in ultra-deep formations, ecological safety of interface interactions, and accuracy of intelligent interfacial response. Future research should focus on controllable crosslinking for thermosetting resins to optimize interfacial curing, intelligent response for swelling filling resins to enhance interface adaptation, interface strengthening for temperature-sensitive adhesive resin (TSAR) to improve adhesion stability, and multiphase synergy with eco-design for composite systems to regulate complex interfacial behaviors, providing efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for malignant lost circulation control.

Fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymers (FMIPs) have emerged as promising biomedical tools due to their high selectivity, stability, and tunable fluorescent properties. Their distinct combination of selective molecular recognition and sensitive optical signaling makes them appropriate for a variety of diagnostic and sensing applications especially for healthcare monitoring. This review summarizes recent advances in FMIPs synthesis strategies, focusing on innovative polymerization methods such as controlled/living radical polymerization and green synthesis approaches that address key challenges in reproducibility, scalability, and environmental sustainability. Advances in polymer design, functional monomer selection, and nanofabrication techniques have considerably increased FMIP sensitivity and specificity for critical biomolecular sensing applications. These smart materials contain extremely selective binding sites that resemble natural receptors, allowing for precise biomolecule detection in applications such as biosensing, bioimaging, and medication administration. The integration of modern fluorescence-based detection techniques improves their ability to monitor biological processes in real time with high precision. This comprehensive review also addresses the most challenges of FMIPs, such as largescale synthesis, biocompatibility, template removal and signal stability. Finally, future directions for developing FMIPs for personalized medicine and next-generation POC diagnostics are discussed.

The diversity of chiral molecules is due to their unique asymmetric structure. Although the physical and chemical properties of enantiomers may be similar, their optical and biological activities are often very different or even opposite. From the selection of chiral molecules in life to the design of modern materials with specific chiral functions, chirality has always been a long-standing research topic. Every exploration of chiral science promotes human understanding of the world and the advancement of science and technology. The chiral-induced spin-selective (CISS) effect is a breakthrough in the study of chiral molecules in recent years, which reveals the relationship between chiral molecules and electron spins from a unique perspective. Due to the CISS effect, chiral materials selectively filter electrons with a specific spin direction (spin polarization), thereby achieving spin regulation without the need for an external magnetic field. Therefore, the CISS effect provides a new exploration space for chiral recognition, asymmetric synthesis, origin of life, chiral electrocatalysis, and chemical reaction monitoring. This review summarizes the basic principles, development history, theoretical basis, research status and development trends of the CISS effect in chiral materials, and prospects the research status of the CISS effect in related fields.

Nanotechnology has been widely utilized to enhance the intestinal absorption of natural bioactive compounds (BCs). However, the complicated and dynamic environment in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) – characterized by digestive enzymes, mucus matrix, epithelial cell layer, and extensive metabolic activity – presents notable challenges to the oral delivery of BCs. To address these limitations, nanocarriers based on enzymatically hydrolyzed food protein polypeptides (EH-FPPs) have been developed, which exhibit high biocompatibility, loading capacity, and capacity to overcome different absorption barriers. This review provides a comprehensive summary of recent advancements in EH-FPP-assembled nanocarriers, including their self-assembly mechanisms, supramolecular structures, and loading approaches for natural BCs. Besides, it elucidates the how these nanocarriers enhance the intestinal absorption of BCs from the perspectives of controlled release, mucus penetration, transcytosis, and paracellular transport. Furthermore, it critically assesses the role of these nanocarriers in improving the overall bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of encapsulated BCs, while also addressing their current limitations and future research directions. This review seeks to elucidate the complex relationships between the self-assembly process, multi-scale structure, and GIT fate of EH-FPP-based vehicles, which highlights their potential as advanced BC delivery systems for precision nutrition and individualized health.

The bacterial cell membrane is a structurally essential and relatively accessible target for several antimicrobial agents, including daptomycin, polymyxins, antimicrobial peptides, and polymers. These compounds are often effective against multidrug-resistant bacteria and are considered last resort treatments. While initially considered less prone to resistance development, accumulating evidence shows that bacteria can adapt through various mechanisms – often involving alterations in membrane composition and biophysical properties. Reported resistance mechanisms include changes in phospholipid composition, lipid A structure, membrane fluidity, surface charge, and microdomain organization. Advances in analytical methodologies – including liquid and gas chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and fluorescence-based techniques—have enabled increasingly precise characterization of these adaptations. In this review, we outline membrane remodeling strategies associated with resistance in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and provide an overview of analytical methods commonly employed to study these changes. These insights highlight the growing relevance of membrane-level adaptations in antimicrobial resistance and underscore the need for further research using modern lipidomic and biophysical tools.

Solid-state nanopores have emerged as transformative tools for single-molecule detection and analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins in the field of biotechnology. This review focuses on controlled dielectric breakdown (CBD), an in-situ fabrication technique that utilizes electric fields to induce membrane dielectric breakdown, offering low-cost, scalable nanopore fabrication in insulating materials. The principles of dielectric breakdown mechanisms, integrating thermal, electrical, and chemical mechanisms, are analyzed, highlighting the critical role of parameters such as electric field intensity, material dielectric properties, and solid-liquid interface dynamics in enabling precise control over nanopore fabrication. Unlike expensive lithography methods, CBD avoids complex ex situ processes, enabling real-time monitoring via leakage currents. Key advancements in strategies for localized area thinning and laser-assisted pre-damage, micropipette-based localized confined electrolyte, and atomic force microscope tip-induced localized electric field have addressed the traditional CBD's stochasticity. These strategies enable deterministic sub-2 nm nanopore formation with tunable morphology. Advanced CBD techniques have evolved from a probabilistic method to a versatile platform for scalable and rapid nanopore fabrication. Future directions emphasize microfluidic integration with novel dielectric materials, positioning CBD as a versatile platform for next-generation single-molecule biosensing and sequencing applications.

Recent advances in nano-sciences including colloids, interfaces as well as material science in general, are increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI), which combines theory, computation, experiment, data acquisition and analysis, and implementation. Previously, we covered applications of machine learning (ML) in nanoarchitectonics, where phenomena at nanoscale were compared with those at larger scale and where fundamental models were analyzed in application to colloids-, interface-, and material science area in general. Scrutinizing historical discovery paradigms from empirical observation to theoretical modeling, here in Part-II (as continuation of Adv. Colloids Interface Sci. 2025, 343, 103546), we extend that parallel to modern analysis workflows, data processing, evaluation metrics, application of language-based models. This review is organized around three pillars: (a) data acquisition, integration, and preprocessing for model-ready datasets; (b) model development encompassing classical (shallow) and advanced (deep) learning architectures; and (c) AI-assisted fabrication, characterization, and analysis of materials especially for colloidal and interfacial science. We compare major ML models - supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning - alongside advanced techniques such as transfer learning and autoencoders, highlighting applications across the materials innovation pipeline, from design and synthesis optimization to property prediction and performance evaluation. The concept of explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is examined using the ITAP framework (interpretability, time efficiency, accuracy, and parameter sensitivity) to improve model transparency, reliability, and interpretability. Finally, we discuss the emergence of autonomous laboratories and outline key challenges, future directions toward transparent, reproducible, and sustainable AI-driven nanoarchitectonics, where adaptation and application of language-based models is expected to play an important role.

The search for plant-based raw materials has strengthened the requirement to expand the performance of plant proteins. Nature-inspired conjugation, through mimicking natural post-translational modifications (PTMs), suggests a promising route to generate bio-conjugates for innovative emulsification and encapsulation. Conjugation is still the utmost usual method aimed at the modification of food proteins that can be fabricated via simple, easy-scalable procedures. As owning health-promoting aspects, bio-conjugates can introduce the clean/green (label) ingredients, compared with inconvenient and costly techniques. This study is taking a cue from nature for alternating the plant-based proteins through polysaccharides, polyphenols and lipid components and designing green plant-based nano-conjugates (via the selection of proper compounds). Nevertheless, this review critically evaluates a central restriction as there is an important biomimetic gap between the accurate and effective alterations created in nature and the simple and non-detailed approaches such as Maillard reaction, alkali treatment, etc. that are presently performed in vitro. Here, different methods of conjugating plant proteins with conjugates are described. Furthermore, the digestive tract or food matrix can promote the release of bioactive components, so the characteristics of drug delivery systems that can influence such phenomena will be discussed, as well as the technical-functional applications of such systems and drug delivery systems. Also, health-related risk assessments related to natural reactions and bio-conjugated nanostructures will be discussed. Lastly, we provide a critical perspective on the tasks of scalability, regulatory, and safety verification. We provide a forward-looking review of how a more rational, nature-inspired design philosophy can push the boundaries and hasten the expansion of next-generation green/clean (label) colloidal delivery systems.

Conjugation is still the utmost usual method aimed at the modification of food proteins that can be fabricated via simple, easy-scalable procedures. As owning health-promoting aspects, bio-conjugates can introduce the clean/green (label) ingredients, compared with inconvenient and costly techniques. This study is taking a cue from nature for alternating the plant-based proteins through polysaccharides, polyphenols and lipid components and designing green plant-based nano-conjugates (via the selection of proper compounds). Nevertheless, this review critically evaluates a central restriction as there is an important biomimetic gap between the accurate and effective alterations created in nature and the simple and non-detailed approaches such as Maillard reaction, alkali treatment, etc. that are presently performed <em>in vitro</em>. Here, different methods of conjugating plant proteins with conjugates are described. Furthermore, the digestive tract or food matrix can promote the release of bioactive components, so the characteristics of drug delivery systems that can influence such phenomena will be discussed, as well as the technical-functional applications of such systems and drug delivery systems. Also, health-related risk assessments related to natural reactions and bio-conjugated nanostructures will be discussed. Lastly, we provide a critical perspective on the tasks of scalability, regulatory, and safety verification. We provide a forward-looking review of how a more rational, nature-inspired design philosophy can push the boundaries and hasten the expansion of next-generation green/clean (label) colloidal delivery systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"348 ","pages":"Article 103733"},"PeriodicalIF":19.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145679582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emulsion, including oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, has garnered significant attention for coal flotation separation due to its potential to enhancing dynamic processes. However, with the consumption of high-quality coal resources and the implementation of the worldwide carbon reduction strategy, large-scale separation of low-quality coal (low-rank/oxidized coal) resources have become an important choice to ensure energy supplement and green development of coal industry. This review introduces the background and importance of emulsion collector technology in low-rank/oxidized coal flotation and analyzes its fundamental principles, including collector-particle-bubble interactions involving multi-scale interfacial mechanics. Then, the review discusses research progress in various emulsion collectors, such as traditional coarse emulsion, microemulsion, nanoemulsion, high-internal phase emulsion and Pickering emulsion, from high/low energy emulsification selection, emulsion formulation optimization and oil-water interfacial behavior aspects. Specifically, the emulsion collectors can effectively enhance the dispersibility of traditional oily collectors and decrease their dosages, as well as improve the attachment efficiency and hydrophobicity of coal surface, thereby enhancing the flotation separation effects. The complicated physicochemical enhancing mechanisms between emulsion collectors, coal particles and flotation bubbles are systematically described and warrant further in-depth investigation. This review concludes with a summary of the prospects of emulsion technology in improving low-rank coal flotation efficiency, reducing agent consumption and mitigating environmental impacts. It proposes future research directions, including enhanced emulsion structure-activity relationship analysis, targeted emulsifiers design, flotation dynamic process optimization, and large-scale application, to promote commercialization and sustainable development.
