Pterostilbene, a dimethylether analog of resveratrol, has been found to have potent biological activity. However, the bioavailability pterostilbene in system is limited due its poor solubility an aqueous environment. A nanoemulsion was designed for this purpose. Lecithin-based formed after 3 cycles through high-pressure homogenizer at 500 psi. The rheological properties and particle size were m...

Wear behaviors of silane coated silica (SiO2) nanoparticle-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer composites were investigated depending on the type coating (KH550: -Aminopropyl-triethoxy-silane and KH570: -Methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxy-silane) nanoparticle percentages within matrix. Unlike cases given in most research studies, silanized nanoparticles used as received. Therefore, synergistic ...

The proposed model views drop coalescence in a turbulent flow field as a two-step process consisting of formation of a doublet due to drop collisions followed by coalescence of the individual droplets in a doublet due to the drainage of the intervening film of continuous phase under the action of colloidal (van der Waals and electrostatic) and random turbulent forces. The turbulent flow field w...

Systematic set of emulsification experiments is performed to elucidate the role of several factors, which control the process of drop breakup during emulsification in turbulent flow. As starting oil-water premixes we use emulsions containing monodisperse oil drops, which are generated by the method of membrane emulsification. By passing these premixes through a narrow-gap homogenizer working in...
