The purpose of this study is to produce an oil-in-water nano-emulsion by ultrasonication. Casein combined with inulin used as continuous phase, while dispersed phase consisted of fish oil. The size of the nano-emulsion and the pH of nano-emulsion were characterized. Ultrasound has been used for preparing emulsion by 24 KHz intensity for 120 seconds. Prepared nano-emulsion was investigated by pa...

The purpose of the present study was to develop the Solutol HS15-based doxorubicin submicron emulsion with good stability and overcoming multi-drug resistance. In this study, we prepared doxorubicin submicron emulsion, and examined the stability after autoclaving, the in vitro cytotoxic activity, the intracellular accumulation and apoptpsis of doxorubicin submicron emulsion in MCF-7/ADR cells. ...

The loss of "bound" S(35) that occurs during various mounting procedures used in autoradiography was studied in healing surface wounds of rats treated with either methionine-S(35) or Na(2)S(35)O(4). Valid autoradiography of bound S(35) in this tissue is not possible until 48 hours after radiosulfate and 24 hours after radiomethionine injection, when the S(35) is almost entirely bound in large p...

A statistical programme using Box-Behnken design, which applies a response optimization algorithm, was used to calculate and optimize simultaneously the lactic acid extraction by emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) in a mixed flow reactor. A 3-level Box-Behnken design with seven variables i.e. lactic acid concentration, internal reagent concentration, Alamine 336 fraction in oleyl alcohol, stirring ...

In this study, acrylic acid was used as a neutralizer to prepare bio-based WPU with an interpenetrating polymer network structure by thermally induced free radical emulsion polymerization. The effects of the content on properties resulting waterborne polyurethane-poly (acrylic acid) (WPU-PAA) dispersion and films were systematically investigated. results showed that cross-linking density polyme...

Soyabean oil-based emulsions high in linoleic acid used in parenteral nutrition (PN) could interfere with immune function and may increase the risk of septic complications. Olive oil-based emulsions, high in oleic acid, could have fewer immune effects. We compared the effects of a soyabean oil-based emulsion v. an olive oil-based emulsion on infection rate, appearance of new infection episodes,...

Porous PDMS elastomers were synthesized using emulsion templated thiol–ene “click” reactions to obtain materials with tunable storage moduli at a single porosity value that achieve low sound speed values of ∼40 m s −1 .

Coalescence is a critical phenomenon in separation and transport processes. An improved understanding of coalescence can enhance current models predicting emulsion stability separation. We here report combined experimental simulation study to investigate the thin film prior its rupture event. Optical tweezers measured influence ions surface-active agents on time forces acting between colliding ...

In this study, a membrane-integrated glass capillary device for preparing small-sized water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion droplets is demonstrated. The concept of integrating microfluidics to prepare precise structure-controlled double emulsion droplets with the membrane emulsification technique provides a simple method for preparing small-sized and structure-controlled double emulsion dropl...
