Micro/sub-micron emulsion and related systems have received a lot of attention in the last years for their common use as vehicles for topical administration. These systems can be defined as fine emulsion dispersion with droplet sizes in the sub-micron range, and consisted of an aqueous phase, oily phase, and surfactants that are necessary for stabilizing the interface and forming the drops [1]....

We report a simple method that uses (i) emulsion shearing with oxidation to make core-shell particles, and (ii) emulsion shearing with surface-tension driven phase segregation to synthesize particles with complex surface compositions and morphologies. Subjecting eutectic gallium-indium, a liquid metal, to shear in an acidic carrier fluid we synthesized smooth liquid core-shell particles 6.4 nm ...

A quat-silicone micro-emulsion (particle size <40 nm), an amino-silicone macro-emulsion (110 nm), and an alkyl modified silicone macro-emulsion (740 nm) were used to modify Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) sapwood. Treated and uncoated boards were exposed to natural weathering for one year along with water treated controls according to EN 927-3. The treatment with silicone emulsions did not enh...

Micro-scale optical components play a crucial role in imaging and display technology, biosensing, beam shaping, optical switching, wavefront-analysis, and device miniaturization. Herein, we demonstrate liquid compound micro-lenses with dynamically tunable focal lengths. We employ bi-phase emulsion droplets fabricated from immiscible hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon liquids to form responsive micro-...

Emissions and fuel consumption are essential parameters to indicate the working of a combustion engine. This paper discusses methods achieve lower emissions efficient consumption. One is by making emulsion fuel. The emulsion-making surfactant emulsion, micro-emulsion, ultrasonic real-time non-surfactant (RTES). In research, mixture B30 Biodiesel water without that supplied in after being mixed ...

Electrodeposition is a very important technology in the fabrication of micro-compo‐ nents for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) or integrated circuits. Evalua‐ tions of the materials used in these devices as 3D components should be conducted using micro-sized specimens due to the sample size effect on the practical use of the components. Nanocrystalline metals could be deposited using an ...

Background: To assess efficacy and safety of Cyclosporine micro-emulsion (Neoral®) in psoriasis treatment Material and Methods: A total of 102 patients (mean age: 42.1 ± 11.2; 51.0% were males) who were considered appropriate for Cyclosporine micro-emulsion (Neoral®) treatment by study investigators were enrolled in this multicentre post marketing surveillance study (COLO400CTR05) at 2 differen...

Biocompatible oil-in-water (o/w) micro-emulsions can be prospective drug delivery vehicles for their capability to solubilize lipophilic (oil soluble) drugs in the dispersed oil. Plant oils are considered suitable for such a purpose. In this study, we have attempted to examine the dispersion of corn, cottonseed, clove, orange and peppermint oils, as well as isopropyl myristate (IPM) in water co...
