Adsorption of fragrance capsules onto cellulose nano- and micro-cellulose fibers in presence of guar biopolymers
Evdokia K. Oikonomou, Jean-François Berret
Fabric softeners are formulated to enhance textile softness and impart a pleasant scent. One of the most efficient technologies for controlled fragrance delivery onto fabrics invol…
Effects of brake wear nanoparticles on the protection and repair functions of the airway epithelium
Chloé Puisney-Dakhli, Mickael Tarraud, Yann Sivry +2
Long term exposure to particulate air pollution is known to increase respiratory morbidity and mortality. In urban areas with dense traffic most of these particles are generated by…
Advanced eco-friendly formulations of guar biopolymer-based textile conditioners
Evdokia K. Oikonomou, Jean-François Berret
Fabric conditioners are household products used to impart softness and fragrance to tex-tiles. They are colloidal dispersions of cationic double chain surfactants that self-assembl…
Probing DNA-amyloid interaction and gel formation by active magnetic wire microrheology
Milad Radiom, Arnaud Grados, Mathieu Receveur +1
Recent studies have shown that bacterial nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) can bind to DNA and result in altered structural organization and bridging interactions. Under spontane…
Cellulose nanocrystals mimicking micron sized fibers to assess the deposition of latex particles on cotton
Evdokia K. Oikonomou, Konstantin Golemanov, Pierre-Emmanuel Dufils +4
We report the interactions of cationic latex particles synthesized by RAFT/MADIX-mediated emulsion polymerization with anionic cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and cotton fabrics. Lat…
Silicone incorporation into an esterquat based fabric softener in presence of guar polymers
Evdokia K. Oikonomou, Camille Grandisson, Konstantin Golemanov +2
Fabric softeners are widely used to make clothes soft and impart nice smell. Household conditioners are water-based formulations consisting of quaternary ammonium surfactants assem…
Adsorption of a fabric conditioner on cellulose nanocrystals: Synergistic effects of surfactant vesicles and polysaccharides on softness properties
Evdokia K. Oikonomou, Grazia M. L. Messina, Laurent Heux +2
Concentrated fabric conditioners are water-based formulations containing 10 wt. % of cationic surfactants that are deposited on textile fibers during the rinse cycle in a washing m…
Pulmonary surfactant inhibition of nanoparticle uptake by alveolar epithelial cells
M. Radiom, M. Sarkis, O. Brookes +3
Pulmonary surfactant forms a sub-micrometer thick fluid layer that covers the surface of alveolar lumen and inhaled nanoparticles therefore come in to contact with surfactant prior…
Revealing the Pulmonary Surfactant Corona on Silica Nano-particles by Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscopy
Fanny Mousseau, Evdokia K. Oikonomou, Annie Vacher +3
When inhaled nanoparticles (NPs) deposit in alveoli, they transit through the pulmonary surfactant (PS), a biofluid made of proteins and phospholipidic vesicles. They acquire a cor…
Effect of Nanoparticles on the Bulk Shear Viscosity of a Lung Surfactant Fluid
L. P. A. Thai, F. Mousseau, E. K. Oikonomou +2
Inhaled nanoparticles (< 100 nm) reaching the deep lung region first interact with the pulmonary surfactant, a thin lipid film lining the alveolar epithelium. To date, most biophys…
Design and applications of a fluorescent labeling technique for lipid and surfactant preformed vesicles
Fanny Mousseau, Jean-François Berret, Evdokia K. Oikonomou
Amphiphilic molecules such as surfactants, lipids and block copolymers can be assembled into bilayers and form vesicles. Fluorescent membrane labeling methods require the use of dy…
On the rheology of pulmonary surfactant: effects of concentration and consequences for the surfactant replacement therapy
L. P. A. Thai, F. Mousseau, E. K. Oikonomou +1
The role of pulmonary surfactant is to reduce the surface tension in the lungs and to facilitate breathing. Surfactant replacement therapy (SRT) aims at bringing a substitute by in…
Nanoparticle-lipid interaction: Job scattering plots to differentiate vesicle aggregation from supported lipid bilayer formation
F. Mousseau, E. K. Oikonomou, V. Baldim +2
The impact of nanomaterials on lung fluids or on the plasma membrane of living cells has prompted researchers to examine the interactions between nanoparticles and lipid vesicles.…
Design of eco-friendly fabric softeners: structure, rheology and interaction with cellulose nanocrystals
E. K. Oikonomou, N. Christov, G. Cristobal +4
Concentrated fabric softeners are water-based formulations containing around 10 - 15 wt. % of double tailed esterquat surfactants primarily synthesized from palm oil. In recent pat…
Brake wear (nano)particle characterization and toxicity on airway epithelial cells in vitro
Chloé Puisney, Evdokia K. Oikonomou, Sophie Nowak +4
Particulate air pollution results from different sources, among which those related to road traffic have a significant impact on human health. Combustion-derived particles emitted…
Fabric Softener/Cellulose Nanocrystal Interaction: A Model For Assessing Surfactant Deposition On Cotton
E. K. Oikonomou, F. Mousseau, N. Christov +6
There is currently a renewed interest for improving household and personal care formulations to provide more environment friendly products. Fabric conditioners used as softeners ha…
Wire active microrheology to differentiate viscoelastic liquids from soft solids
F. Loosli, M. Najm, R. Chan +4
Viscoelastic liquids are characterized by a finite static viscosity and a zero yield stress, whereas soft solids have an infinite viscosity and a non-zero yield stress. The rheolog…
