We introduce a simple and predictive model for determining the phase stability of ternary phospholipid-cholesterol mixtures. Assuming that competition between the liquid and gel order of the phospholipids is the main driving force behind lipid segregation, we derive a Gibbs free energy of mixing, based on the thermodynamic properties of the lipids main transition. A numerical approach was devis...

objective(s):investigation of phase diagram of various drug formulations is effective to predict different phase region of drugs to detect final formula. the purpose of this research was to develop the ternary phase diagrams for a drug microemulsion system consisting of cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) oil, surfactant (tween 80) and deionized water. materials and methods:an electrical conductivity was ...

the purpose of this reaserch is to measure the phase equilibrium data of the ternary system (water + phosphoric acid + 1-nonanol) at different temperatures. experimental solubility curves and tie-line points for the system were obtained at t = 298.2, 308.2 and 318.2 k and ambient pressure. the binodal curve data were detected by the cloud point method. the mass fractions of each layer were achi...

The microstructure of continuously hot-dip galvanizing Zn-Mg coating was investigated in order to obtain the mechanism of the effects of Mg on the corrosion resistance. In this paper, the vertical section of the Zn-0.20 wt % Al-Mg ternary phase diagram near the Al-low corner was calculated. The results indicates that the phase composition of the Zn-0.20 wt % Al-Mg ternary phase diagram near the...

the determination region of solubility of methanol with gasoline of high aromatic content was investigated experimentally at temperature of 288.2 k. a type 1 liquid-liquid phase diagram was obtained for this ternary system. these results were correlated simultaneously by the uniquac model. the values of the interaction parameters between each pair of components in the system were obtained for t...
