A new method for determining viscoelastic properties on the interfacial interface called interfacial rheology was intoduced and investigated. Measured data were compared with data from tanziometer for model system of surfactant. Three concentration renge of surfactant, namely SDS (anionic), TTAB (cationic) and Tween (nonionic), were measured. From the measured data the influence of structure, critical micellar concentration and charge on the viscoelastic properties of the interfacial interface was determined. Furthermore, this new method was used for biological systems and specifically for biofilms of two bacterial strains. First, the viscoelastic properties of biofilms on the agar were determined, and the viscoelastic properties dependence on temperature

[pt] Filmes finos líquidos desempenham um grande papel em diversas aplicações cotidianas e são de interesse indiscutível para pesquisadores científicos e industriais. Evidências de filmes finos são observadas na natureza em grandes escalas, como avalanches de neve nas montanhas, escoamento de lava em vulcões e deslizamentos de terra, e em pequenas escalas, como nas vias respiratórias pulmonares e na superfície dos olhos. Eles também são estão presentes em muitas aplicações industriais, variando de resistores de filme fino de alta resistência, atomização, métodos de litografia e várias técnicas de revestimento. Entender os mecanismos que contribuem para a estabilidade de filmes finos líquidos é um problema desafiador, pois o escoamento de filmes finos apresenta uma interface fluido-fluido livre para deformar. A instabilidade de um filme fino é geralmente impulsionada por forças intermoleculares de longo alcance, também conhecidas como atrações de van der Waals, e resultam na ruptura do filme. Investigações numéricas são frequentemente usadas para entender a dinâmica de ruptura de filmes líquidos finos, abordando a evolução da espessura do filme usando derivações assintóticas da teoria da lubrificação ou técnicas de rastreamento de interface. Neste trabalho, uma investigação computacional da dinâmica de ruptura de um filme fino líquido estacionário com uma interface viscosa é apresentada. O método Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) é usado para rastrear a posição da interface. O comportamento reológico da interface viscosa é modelado pela lei constitutiva de Boussinesq-Scriven, e a solução numérica é obtida através da aproximação de elementos finitos. Os resultados mostram que a estabilidade do filme líquido fino é influenciada tanto pela reologia da superfície quanto pela atração intermolecular e que o caráter viscoso da interface retarda a quebra da folha, levando a filmes mais estáveis. / [en] Thin liquid films play a big role in many real-life applications and are of indisputable interest to scientific and industrial researchers. Evidence of thin films are observed in nature in large scales such as snow avalanches in the mountains, lava flows on volcanoes and landslides, and in small scales such as the pulmonary airways and the eye surface. They are also widespread in many industrial applications, ranging from high-resistance thin film resistors, atomization, soft-lithography methods and several coating techniques such as dip, roll, slot, spin and curtain coating. Understanding the physical mechanisms contributing to the stability of thin liquid films is a challenging problem, as thin films flows present a fluid-fluid interface which is free to deform. The interface is bounded between two liquids or a liquid and a gas, typically having its own dynamic properties from which interfacial tension effects and complex interfacial rheological behavior arises. Instability is usually driven by long-range intermolecular forces, also known as van der Waals attractions, and may result in the rupture of the layer. Numerical investigation is often used to understand the breakup dynamics of thin liquid sheets by addressing the evolution of the film thickness using either asymptotic derivations of the lubrication theory or interface tracking techniques. In this work, a computational investigation of the breakup dynamics of a stationary thin liquid sheet bounded by a passive gas with a viscous interface is presented. The Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method (ALE) is used to track the interface position. The rheological behavior of the viscous interface is modeled by the Boussinesq-Scriven constitutive law, and the numerical solution is obtained through finite element approximation. The results show that thin liquid film stability is influenced both by surface rheology and disjoining effects and that the viscous character of the interface delays the sheet breakup, leading to more stable films.

La formation d'émulsions eau-dans-huile stables est un problème majeur rencontré par les pétroliers au niveau de la production mais aussi du raffinage. Afin d'essayer de prévoir ce phénomène, Total a développé une méthode de classement des huiles qui permet, à partir de leurs propriétés physico-chimiques, de déterminer a priori leur capacité à former ou non des émulsions stables. Cependant, les mécanismes interfaciaux sous-jacents ainsi que l’influence des molécules tensioactives du brut sur la stabilité des émulsions n’est pas très clair. Notre travail a consisté à étudier la contribution des acides naphténiques et des asphaltènes dans les phénomènes observés. L’étude d’huiles réelles a permis d’établir un lien entre la stabilité des émulsions et la formation à l'interface d'un gel 2D. Les études menées sur les huiles réelles dont les acides naphténiques ont été extraits ont permis de montrer que ces derniers, en compagnie de leurs formes ionisées, les naphténates, ont la capacité de réduire la stabilité des émulsions en diminuant la résistance du gel interfacial, ou même en empêchant sa formation. Les expériences réalisées sur les huiles réelles dépourvues d’asphaltènes ont permis de confirmer le rôle stabilisant des asphaltènes. Les résultats obtenus suggèrent que les asphaltènes s’adsorbent sur le gel 2D déjà formé par des tensioactifs passés de l’huile vers l’eau et le rapprochent ainsi de sa transition vitreuse. La résistance du gel interfacial s'en trouve alors augmentée, ce qui conduit à la formation d'émulsions plus stables. En croisant le classement industriel des bruts opéré par Total et les résultats de l’étude, un mécanisme global, régi par la compétition entre les acides naphténiques, les naphténates et les asphaltènes à l’interface E/H est proposé pour expliquer les différences de stabilité observées avec les différentes huiles. Lorsque les acides et les naphténates sont suffisamment concentrés, ils empêchent la formation du gel interfacial et les émulsions sont peu stables. Lorsqu’ils sont moins concentrés le rôle des asphaltènes peut alors devenir prépondérant en donnant une cohésion plus importante au gel qui se rapproche de sa transition vitreuse, ce qui conduit en général au renforcement de la stabilité des émulsions formées. / Water-in-crude oil emulsions are a major issue for oil companies in both production and refining facilities. Thanks to physical and chemical characterizations, Total set a classification which allows the decision of a crude oil ability to create stable emulsions. However the interfacial mechanisms implied and the influence of the indigenous surfactants of crude oil remain unclear. Our work consists in studying the naphthenic acids and asphaltenes contribution to the w/o emulsion stability. The study of realistic crude oils enabled the discovery of a link between the emulsion stability with the formation of a very particular interfacial behavior: a two-imensional gel. Experiments with desacidified oils have proven the destabilizing ability of naphthenic acids and their ionized form, naphthenates. They actually decrease the interfacial gel strength and can even prevent the gel formation. Asphaltenes-free crude oils have permitted to confirm the stabilizing role of asphaltenes. Rather than adsorbing directly on the interface, asphaltenes seem to adsorb on the interfacial gel already formed. The gel strength is thus increased and lead to higher emulsion stability. Thanks to these results and the industrial classification of crude oil developed by Total, a global mechanism explaining the emulsion stability process has been proposed. This mechanism is governed by the competition between asphaltenes, naphthenates and naphthenic acids at the water/oil interface. If the concentration of naphthenic acids and naphthenates is high enough, the interfacial gel cannot be formed and the emulsions are unstable. If the crude oil is not acidic enough, the asphaltenes influence increases dramatically and implies the strengthening of the gel which becomes closer to his glass transition. This generally leads to the formation of more stable emulsions.

Les nanoémulsions (NEs) huile/eau peuvent être utilisées en tant que systèmes de délivrance des médicaments pour l’encapsulation des substances actives hydrophobes afin d’améliorer leur stabilité et leur biodisponibilité. Néanmoins, leur stabilisation nécessite l’utilisation de concentrations plus importantes de tensioactifs par rapport aux émulsions conventionnelles en raison de l’augmentation de la surface spécifique. La plupart des tensioactifs synthétiques couramment utilisés dans la formulation des émulsions sont potentiellement irritants, voire toxiques. Cela entrave l'application thérapeutique des NEs en particulier pour les traitements à long terme. L'objectif de cette thèse est alors de formuler des NEs pharmaceutiques huile/eau stabilisées par un biopolymère, la beta-lactoglobuline (beta-lg), à la place des tensioactifs synthétiques.Les NEs ont été préparées par homogénéisation à haute pression (HHP). La composition de la formulation et les conditions du procédé ont été optimisées afin d’obtenir des gouttelettes nanométriques dans des NEs stables. Les résultats ont montré que les NEs les plus stables, avec une taille de gouttelettes < 200 nm, ont été obtenues quand 5 m/m% de l’huile ayant la viscosité la plus faible ont été utilisés en tant que phase huileuse, 95 m/m% de la solution de beta-lg à une concentration de 1 m/m% ont été utilisés en tant que phase aqueuse et 4 cycles d’HPH de 100 MPa ont été appliqués. Cette formulation a été stable contre les phénomènes de croissance de gouttelettes pendant au moins 30 jours grâce à un film interfacial quasiment purement élastique. La gomme xanthane, un polysaccaride naturel, a été ajoutée à la formulation optimale à une concentration de 0,5 m/m% en tant qu’agent épaississant. Cela a permis d’obtenir une texture crémeuse avec un comportement rhéofluidifiant. Dans cette dernière formulation, la vitesse de migration des gouttelettes a été considérablement réduite et la stabilité des NEs a été améliorée.Les effets du procédé d’HPH sur les différents niveaux de structure de la protéine ont été évalués à l’aide de méthodes spectroscopiques, chromatographiques et électrophorétiques. L’influence de ce traitement sur ses propriétés interfaciales et émulsionnantes a également été étudiée. L’efficacité émulsionnante optimale a été obtenue quand les conditions d’HPH n’ont pas altéré la structure de la beta-lg, ni ses propriétés interfaciales. Néanmoins, un traitement d’HHP excessif (300 MPa/5 cycles) a induit des modifications structurelles, principalement une transformation des feuillets beta en structures désordonnées, une large perte dans le cœur hydrophobe, et une agrégation importante par des liaisons disulfure intermoléculaires. La beta-lg modifiée par l’HHP a montré une hydrophobie de surface plus importante conduisant à une vitesse d’adsorption à l’interface huile/eau plus élevée et une formation plus précoce d’un film interfacial. La dénaturation de la protéine par ce traitement à haute pression, qui a été effectuée avant le processus d’émulsification, n'a pas modifié de façon significative l'efficacité émulsionnante. La réduction de l’efficacité a été probablement plutôt induite par la dénaturation simultanée avec l’émulsification sous conditions d’écoulement très turbulent.L’intérêt de la formulation développée en tant que véhicule pour un modèle de substance active hydrophobe a été étudié avec l’isotrétinoïne (IT), usuellement utilisé pour le traitement de l’acné sévère. La formulation développée a permis d’encapsuler 0,033 m/m% d’IT sans aucune modification de la stabilité du système. Environ 10 % de l’IT ajoutée ont été solubilisés dans la phase aqueuse en association avec la protéine libre en excès. L’IT encapsulée dans les gouttelettes huileuses a été plus stable contre la photo-isomérisation que celle associée à la protéine libre. La formulation développée apparait prometteuse en tant que système de délivrance de l’IT pour une application cutanée. / Oil-in-water nanoemulsions can be used as drug delivery systems for the encapsulation of hydrophobic active substances in order to increase their solubility and their bioavailability. However, due to their higher specific area, their stabilization requires higher surfactant concentrations compared to conventional emulsions. Most of the synthetic surfactants commonly used in emulsion formulation are potentially irritant and even toxic, which hinders the therapeutic application of nanoemulsions especially during long-term treatment. The objective of this thesis is thus to formulate pharmaceutical oil/water nanoemulsions stabilized by a biopolymer, beta-lactoglobulin (beta-lg), instead of synthetic surfactants. Nanoemulsions were prepared by high pressure homogenization (HPH). The formulation composition and the process conditions were optimized in order to obtain nanometric droplets within stable nanoemulsions. The results showed that the most stable nanoemulsions, with droplet size inférieure à 200 nm, were obtained when 5 w/w% of the oil with the lowest viscosity value was used as the oily phase, 95 w/w% of beta-lg solution at a concentration of 1 w/w% was used as the aqueous phase, and 100 MPa of homogenization pressure was applied for 4 cycles. This formulation was stable against droplet growth phenomena during 30 days at least, thanks to a quasi purely elastic interfacial film. Xanthan gum, a natural polysaccharide, was added to the optimal formulation as a texturizing agent at a concentration of 0.5 w/w%. This allowed obtaining a cream texture with a shear thinning behavior. In this formulation, the migration rate of droplets was considerably reduced and the nanoemulsions stability was enhanced.The effects of the homogenization process on the different levels of the protein structure were assessed by spectroscopic, chromatographic and electrophoretic methods. The influence of this treatment on its interfacial and emulsifying properties was also investigated. The optimal emulsifying efficiency was obtained when the homogenization conditions did alter neither the structure of beta-lg nor its interfacial properties. However, an excessive HPH treatment (300 MPa/5 cycles) introduced structural modifications, mainly from beta-sheets into random coils, wide loss in lipocalin core, and protein aggregation by intermolecular disulfide bridges. HPH modified beta-lg displayed higher surface hydrophobicity inducing a higher adsorption rate at the O/W interface and an earlier formation of an elastic interfacial film. Structural and interfacial properties modifications by HPH denaturation appeared qualitatively similar to that of the heat denaturation with, however, differences in extent. Protein denaturation by a high pressure treatment that was performed before the emulsification process did not alter significantly its emulsifying efficiency. The reduction in the efficiency was rather induced by the simultaneous denaturation with the emulsification under high turbulent flow.The efficiency of the developed formulation as a vehicle for a model hydrophobic active substance was studied using isotretinoin, usually used for the treatment of severe acne. The developed formulation was able to encapsulate 0.033 w/w of isotretinoin without any modification on the system stability. About 10 % of the added isotretinoin was solubilized in the aqueous phase associated with the free protein in excess. Isotretinoin encapsulated in the oily droplets was more stable against photo isomerization than the one associated to the excess protein in the aqueous phase. The developed formulation seems promising as a drug delivery system of isotretinoin for a dermal application.

[pt] Inúmeros estudos têm sido realizados para melhor entender a formação e estabilidade de emulsões. Em algumas situações, é desejável ter emulsões estáveis; em outros, a separação de fases por coalescência de gotas é benéfica. Em ambos os casos, é importante entender os mecanismos associados ao processo de coalescência. O presente trabalho investiga a relação entre as propriedades reológicas das interfaces óleo-água e o tempo de drenagem de um filme fino de óleo entre duas gotas aquosas. A tensão interfacial e a reologia dilatacional interfacial foram medidas usando a análise axissimétrica da forma da gota. Foram avaliadas diferentes concentrações de um tensoativo não iônico (Span 80) dissolvido em óleo mineral (Primol 352). Os resultados indicam uma relação direta entre as propriedades da estrutura formada na interface óleo-água e a ausência de coalescência das gotas. Para concentrações de surfactante abaixo da concentração micelar crítica (CMC), a interface é fracamente elástica (fluid-like) e o processo de coalescência sempre ocorre; o tempo de drenagem não está relacionado ao tempo de envelhecimento da interface. Para concentrações de surfactante acima da CMC, os módulos elástico e viscoso mostraram mudanças significativas com o envelhecimento, levando à formação de um filme sólido na interface, impedindo a coalescência entre as gotas. Usamos experimentos de coalescência gota/gota para avaliar o efeito da reologia interfacial na dinâmica de coalescência. Para entender melhor o fenômeno da não coalescência, estudamos microscopicamente a estrutura do filme interfacial e observamos o aparecimento de pequenas gotas de água formadas na interface através de emulsificação espontânea. Descobrimos que a taxa de surgimento dessas microgotículas está diretamente relacionada à concentração de surfactante. À medida que a concentração de surfactante aumenta, mais rápido ocorre o processo de emulsificação espontânea, o que confirma os resultados obtidos com a reologia interfacial. Finalmente, um novo método para promover a desestabilização da emulsão impondo uma perturbação do filme interfacial pelo escoamento das gotas através de capilares constritos é proposto e testado. / [en] Several studies have been conducted to understand emulsions formation and stability. In some situations, it is desirable to have stable emulsions; in others, phase separation through drop coalescence is beneficial. In both cases, it is important to understand the mechanisms associated to the coalescence process. The present work investigates the relationship between rheological properties of oil-water interfaces and the drainage time of a thin oil film between two aqueous drops. Interfacial tension and dilatational rheology were measured using the axisymmetric drop shape analysis. We evaluated different concentrations of a nonionic surfactant (Span 80) dissolved in mineral oil (Primol 352) phase. The results indicate a direct relationship between the properties of the structure formed at the oil-water interface and the absence of droplet coalescence. For low surfactant concentrations, below the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the interface is weakly elastic (fluid-like) and the coalescence process always occurs; the draining time is not to related to the aging time of the interface. For surfactant concentrations above CMC, the elastic and viscous moduli showed significant changes with aging leading to the formation of a solid-like film at the interface preventing further coalescence. We used a drop/drop coalescence experiments to evaluate the effect of interfacial rheology on the coalescence dynamics. To better understand the phenomenon of non-coalescence, we study the structure of interfacial film microscopically and observe the appearance of small water droplets formed at the interface by spontaneous emulsification. We found that the emergence rate of these microdroplets is directly related to the surfactant concentration. As the surfactant concentration increases, faster the spontaneous emulsification process occurs, which confirms the results obtained with the interfacial rheology. Finally, a new method to promote emulsion destabilization by imposing a perturbation of the interfacial film by flowing the drops through constricted capillaries is proposed and tested.

[pt] No âmbito da indústria de petróleo e gás, a interrupção das linhas de produção e transporte devido à acumulação de compostos orgânicos e inorgânicos representa um desafio generalizado e significativo, resultando em consideráveis perdas financeiras e apreensões ambientais. Os hidratos de gás, particularmente enfatizados entre vários desafios relacionados à deposição inorgânica, apresentam uma questão complexa caracterizada pela formação de sólidos cristalinos à base de água, semelhantes ao gelo, ocorrendo sob condições de pressão elevada e baixas temperaturas que se formam quando moléculas leves de hidrocarbonetos e água se combinam para formar uma estrutura ordenada específica. A formação de hidrato começa na interface água-hidrocarboneto, o que destaca o papel crítico que a reologia interfacial desempenha neste processo. Apesar da importância desta interface na formação de hidratos, persiste uma lacuna na pesquisa, particularmente no emprego de abordagens de reologia de cisalhamento. Este estudo ajuda a preencher essa lacuna investigando as propriedades mecânicas e de fluxo da interface, utilizando um recurso em um reômetro rotacional, uma célula de anel de parede dupla, para controle preciso da temperatura. O ciclopentano serve como formador de hidrato, permitindo a experimentação sob condições atmosféricas. pressão e temperaturas variadas. Os protocolos exploram a temperatura e as concentrações de hidrocarbonetos, com ênfase no envolvimento dos cristais de gelo no início da formação de hidratos. Após a saturação completa da interface hidrocarboneto/água por hidratos, os módulos elásticos e viscosos interfaciais são obtidos através de varreduras de deformação para avaliar a fragilidade do filme de hidrato e resposta mecânica. Além disso, é examinado o impacto do tempo de envelhecimento e do tipo de cisalhamento (estático ou dinâmico) na rigidez do hidrato. Testes com inibidores termodinâmicos, como cloreto de sódio e monoetilenoglicol, demonstram extensão significativa do tempo de indução. Além disso, mudanças sistemáticas na taxa de cisalhamento são investigadas para compreender de forma abrangente sua influência nas características e propriedades do filme hidratado sob diversas condições de histórico de cisalhamento. No geral, esta pesquisa lança luz sobre as nuances da dinâmica da interface águahidrocarboneto na formação e mitigação de hidratos. / [en] Within the realm of the oil and gas industry, the disruption of production and transportation lines due to the accumulation of organic and inorganic compounds poses a widespread and significant challenge, resulting in considerable financial losses and environmental concerns. Gas hydrates, particularly emphasized among various challenges related to inorganic deposition, present a complex issue characterized by the formation of crystalline water-based solids, akin to ice, occurring under conditions of high pressure and low temperatures that arise when light hydrocarbon molecules and water combine to form a specific ordered structure. Hydrate formation begins at the water-hydrocarbon interface, highlighting the critical role interfacial rheology plays in this process. Despite the importance of this interface in hydrate formation, a research gap persists, particularly in the employment of shear rheology approaches. This study aids in bridging this gap by investigating the mechanical and flow properties of the interface, utilizing a resource in a rotational rheometer, a double-wall ring cell, for precise temperature control. Cyclopentane serves as the hydrate former, allowing experimentation under atmospheric pressure and varied temperatures. Protocols explore temperature and hydrocarbon concentrations, with an emphasis on the involvement of ice crystals in the early stages of hydrate formation. Following complete saturation of the hydrocarbon/water interface by hydrates, interfacial elastic and viscous moduli are obtained through strain sweeps to assess hydrate film fragility and mechanical response. Additionally, the impact of aging time and shear type (static or dynamic) on hydrate stiffness is examined. Tests with thermodynamic inhibitors, such as sodium chloride and monoethylene glycol, demonstrate a significant extension of the induction time. Furthermore, systematic changes in shear rate are investigated to comprehensively understand their influence on the characteristics and properties of the hydrated film under various shear history conditions. Overall, this research sheds light on the nuances of waterhydrocarbon interface dynamics in hydrate formation and mitigation.
