the aim of this study was to investigate the rheological behavior and mucoadhesive nature of saliva substitutes, by incorporating various mucoadhesive polymers into an artificial saliva pump spray formulation. for this purpose various mucoadhesive polymers including cellulosic polymers in the range of 0.1-1.0% and carbomers such as c974p, c971, c934p and c971 in the range of 0.01-0.1% were adde...

The aim of this study was to develop an extended-release tablet formulation using a new in situ cross-linking method. The effects of polyvalent cations on theophylline release from tablets made with the polyanionic polymers sodium alginate and sodium carboxymethylcellulose, were investigated. Different miliequivalents of the di and tri-valent cation, Ca2+ and Al3+, were added to tablet form...

this study offers an exclusive class of magnetic nanoparticles supported hyperbranched polyglycerol (mnp/hpg) that was functionalized with citric acid (mnp/hpg-ca) as a host immobilization of palladium nanoparticles. the mnp/hpg-ca/pd catalyst was fully characterized using some different techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis (tga), x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microsco...

nanoparticles made of biodegradable polymers has become the best approach for nanoparticle making due to their compatibility with the human body. new glycerol adipate polymers with hydroxyl group substituted with different percent of acyl group, sited as figures within the abbreviated name in the text, and triptophan were synthesized and proposed to be used in the preparction of dexamethason ph...

polymer application for the improvement and modification of the bitumen used in roads surfaces has expanded in recent decades. the roads engineers and constructors, therefore, have used the modified bitumen in asphalts helping in this way to increase roads and pavements service life and improving the durability of the roads and asphalts. the bitumen used in asphalt mixture constitutes only a lo...

in  this  study,  amino  functional  groups  were  chemically  bonded  to  the  surface  of  newly synthesized  kit-6  mesoporous  magnetite  nanoparticles  (mmnps)  by  post-toluene  reflux synthesis method.  this method  treats  calcined mesoporous  nanoparticles with  the  functional organosilanes.  physical  and  chemical  structures  of  the  synthesized  mesoporous  magnetite nanoparticle...

Introduction: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown enormous potential in neuroscience. Nerve growth factor (NGF)-CNTs complex promotes the neuronal growth, however, the underlying mechanism(s) have remained elusive. Based on the interplay between NGF and the endocannabinoid system, involvement of the neuroprotective endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), was investigated in the mechanis...
