During the synthesis of loratadine, the formation of azeotropic mixtures n-hexane and TBA, which are challenging to separate through conventional distillation, is inevitable. This study utilizes the COSMO-RS model to identify suitable ionic liquids (ILs) for the separation of the n-hexane - TBA azeotropic system. Based on solvent capacity and selectivity, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate ([EMIM][TFA]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate ([BMIM][TFA]), and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate ([HMIM][TFA]) were selected as extractants. The liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data for the n-hexane - TBA - ILs ternary system were measured at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Distribution coefficients and selectivity were calculated to evaluate the performance of the extractants, with the NRTL model used to correlate the experimental LLE data. The consistency of the NRTL model parameters was corroborated through topological analysis associated with the Gibbs tangent principle. Quantum chemical calculations, including interaction energy, ESP analysis, IGMH analysis, and QTAIM topological analysis, were performed to explore the separation mechanism at the molecular level. The results indicated that the interaction energies between the ILs and TBA were higher than those between the ILs and n-hexane, indicating a stronger attraction of ILs to TBA. Consequently, the ILs effectively separated TBA from the n-hexane - TBA azeotropic system, with extraction capacities ranked as [EMIM][TFA] &gt; [BMIM][TFA] &gt; [HMIM][TFA]. The quantum chemical calculations successfully explained the experimental results, aligning with COSMO-RS model predictions and confirming their reliability. IGMH and QTAIM topological analyses systematically explored the types and strengths of interactions, revealing that hydrogen bonds are predominant between the ILs and TBA, with additional contributions from van der Waals forces. Furthermore, the hydrogen bond strengths between TBA and the anions and cations of the ILs are classified as strong and moderate, respectively. This work provides valuable insights into the separation of azeotropic systems using ILs, elucidating the underlying mechanisms behind this process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":371,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Liquids","volume":"416 ","pages":"Article 126455"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The correlation is regressed and evaluated using a dynamic viscosity dataset for 32 nanofluids, including a total of 737 experimental points: 10 nanofluids have water as base fluid (Ag, Al₂O₃, Al₂O₃/CuO, C, CuO, diamond, Fe/Si, MWCNT, ND-Ni, TiO₂), 6 nanofluids have ethylene glycol (Ag, Al2O3, CeO₂, Co₃O₄, SiC, TiO₂/CuO), 11 nanofluids comprise different mixtures of water and ethylene glycol (Al₂O₃, MWCNT/WO₃, CB, fGnP, G/Dp, G/Dr, nD87, nD97, TiO₂), 1 nanofluid has propylene glycol (SiC) and 4 nanofluids comprise different mixtures of water and propylene glycol (TiB₂, TiB₂/B₄C, fGnP). The dynamic viscosity dataset was derived from experimental measurements documented in the scientific literature and conducted with samples that were prepared using consistent and reliable methods. The study evaluates the dynamic viscosity of nanofluids using 14 literature equations to verify their accuracy against the proposed correlation. Results show that the correlation has an average absolute relative deviation of 8.16%, which is significantly lower than that of the literature equations. A 4-fold cross-validation also shows that the correlation is resilient and accurate with different regression datasets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":371,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Liquids","volume":"416 ","pages":"Article 126456"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we review the major strategies and findings concerning the development of hydrogel-based colloidal systems for skin cancer treatment, dividing the literature into three main areas: hydrogels as direct drug delivery systems; hydrogels as scaffolds for drug-loaded nanostructures and sensitizers; and hydrogels in the form of nanogels. Hydrogels have been employed as slow-release drug reservoirs, which can be administered topically or injected directly into the tumor mass, yielding potent anticancer effects. Hydrogel scaffolds embedded with drug-loaded nanostructures—encompassing vesicles, micelles, emulsions or nanocapsules—have emerged as hybrid systems that significantly enhance bioavailability at the tumor site, demonstrating high efficacy against skin cancer. Additionally, solid nanoparticles benefit greatly from the hydrogel network, which serves not only as a scaffold to enhance photothermal therapy but also as a bioactive compound, promoting cancer cell death and wound healing.

In particular, Pickering emulsions (PEs) stabilized by binary particles co-assembling at these interfaces have attracted even more attention. To explore the self-assembly process of superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic particles at oil–water (O/W) interfaces influenced by a trace amount of surfactant, a series of experiments were conducted. A small quantity (0.01 mmol·L⁻¹) of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) was introduced, establishing a variable stable emulsion system with high salt tolerance, capable of withstanding up to 6 mol·L⁻¹ NaCl, in synergism with the particles. The DTAB concentration required to stabilize the O/W emulsion with particles was as low as 0.001 mmol·L⁻¹. The stability and type of the resulting emulsion could be adjusted by varying the ratio of hydrophobic to hydrophilic particle (<em>R</em>) or by modifying acid/base conditions. The systems exhibited robust cyclic acid/base regulated demulsification and phase inversion behavior, maintaining stability over at least 10 cycles. Results indicated that the stability and nature of the emulsion were influenced by the curvature of the interface formed by the self-assembled interfacial particle structures, arising from the competitive adsorption of both types of particles and trace surfactant. Further analysis revealed a correlation between interfacial curvature and the surface charges of the particles, which could be modulated through DTAB adsorption. This study elucidated the behavior of hydrophilic and hydrophobic particle self-assembly at interfaces, provided a straightforward strategy for co-preparing switchable emulsions using superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic particles, and expanded the range of amphiphilic particles available for producing PEs.
