The objective of present work was development of felodipine nano emulsion formulations using sesame oil as sole lipid phase by high pressure homogenization technique. A combination of non-ionic surfactants was used based on HLB (Hydrophilic lipophilic balance) values. The resultant nano emulsions were characterized for particle size, zeta potential. The particle size for the optimized nano emul...

To study the anomalous heat effect of Nibased binary-metal-nano-powder samples by gas-phase hydrogen isotope absorption/desorption, three kinds of samples CNZ, CNZ-II and NZ were tested for the temperature range 300-573 K. The highest excess heat power, ca. 2W/g-Ni was obtained with CNZ at 573 K. Peculiar H(D)-isotopic effect and sudden heat sink by abrupt H(D)-desorption were observed. The hea...

This paper uses the molecular dynamics method to investigate the influence of chemical bonds on the mechanical behaviour of nanotube–polyethylene composites subjected to nano-particle impacts. In the analysis, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were incorporated into the polyethylene (PE) matrix in two ways, with and without radical centres, so that the resulting nano-composites had two corresponding prop...

encapsulation of bioactive ingredient and production of nano carriers in order to food enrichment and production of functional food is one of the applications of nano technology in food science and pharmaceutical. nano carriers are produced using biopolymers (proteins and polysaccharids) or lipid based materials. in this research, production and characterization of pectin-casein nanocomplexes a...

this study is focused on synthesis of nano-colloidal silica via alkaline water glass solution. sodium ions of water glass were removed by cation exchanging in a resin column to obtain the silicic acid which was titrated to the solution of sodium silicate. concentration of the colloidal silica and ph value of the solutions were controlled using different concentrations of alkaline sodium silicat...

Three dimensional single particle trapping and manipulation is an outstanding challenge in various fields ranging from basic physics to life sciences. By monitoring the response of a trapped particle to a designed environment one can extract its characteristics. In addition, quantum dynamics of a spatially scanned well-known particle can provide environmental information. Precise tracking and p...

Numerical study of transportation of nano and micro particles in a fully developed turbulent channel flow have been studied. A hybrid method is applied to study this work. The continuous phase is solved in the Eulerian frame. Finite volume method is used to solve steady state conservation of mass and momentum equations. Anisotropy DNS data for turbulent intensities are used in the analysis. The...

During the last couple of years several ink manufacturers have presented metal nano-particle inks for inkjet printing. These inks provide low resistances on plastic and paper substrates, thus enabling manufacturing of high-conductivity conductors that could be used in circuit boards. Inkjet printing of a commercial silver nano-particle ink on paper and plastic substrates has been investigated. ...

In this paper airflow, nano-and micro-particle motions in an aerodynamic particle beam focusing system consisting of several lenses, a nozzle and the downstream chamber, was studied. A three-dimensional numerical simulation for the system was presented and the compressible airflow and thermal conditions in the aerodynamic lens system were evaluated. Dilute particle concentration was assumed so ...
