Supercritical impregnation is an attractive “clean” alternative to conventional soaking into liquid process, using generally organic solvents. Impregnation process can be used for the development of controlled delivery systems that can be applied in pharmaceutical and medical fields. This work focuses on the preparation of controlled drug delivery systems for ophthalmic applications through sup...

Information on the influence of impregnation of cementitious slurry at the soil-structure interface of bored cast in-situ foundation is inadequate in available literatures. Moreover, influence of such impregnation on negating the detrimental effects of smear zone, formed by construction tools, surrounding the borehole is also unknown. In classical foundation engineering, influences of smear and...

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesised within the pores of the zeolite ferrierite (FER) by a novel molten salt impregnation method and compared to a traditional wet impregnation method. The structure and optical properties were characterised by powder XRD, photoluminescence and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The XRD results reveal a distinct difference in the effect of the impregnatio...

Vacuum Impregnation in food industry is an interesting process particularly in semy-dry fruit processing. At the beginning of the process the pressure is reduced and the internal gas in the product pores is expanded and partially flows out, after that, when atmospheric pressure is restored and residual gas is compressed, the external liquid flows into the pores. Although vacuum impregnation pro...

The use of impregnated phases in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) has a long history, beginning in the very earliest days of the technique. As a consequence, much of the key literature in this Reld dates back to the 1960s and 1970s. The literature also contains a considerable number of examples of impregnation reagents where subsequently the methods have received little attention except in revie...

The effect of impregnation sequence on the formation of Pt/Ni bimetallic nanoparticles supported on g-Al2O3 was investigated for catalysts with Pt/Ni atomic ratios of 3/1 and 1/1. These bimetallic catalysts were prepared with a fixed Pt loading (5 wt.%) by incipient impregnation of one metal precursor and calcination, followed by the impregnation of the second metal precursor and a second calci...

30 This study aimed to improve the shelf life of Chinese red bayberries using vacuum impregnation. 31 Vacuum pressure of 5 kPa for 15 min, atmospheric pressure for 10 min, an impregnation temperature of 32 20 °C, alone or in combination with isotonic sucrose solution, 1% food-grade disodium stannous citrate 33 (DSC), and 2% food-grade calcium ascorbate were used for vacuum impregnation. Quality...

– The progression of a liquid inside a porous medium often involves two macroscopic fronts: a main one, at the bottom, which saturates the medium; and a much thinner one, ahead, which propagates using the fine structures of the porous material. We discuss here different characteristics of this precursor. We show in particular how it can move faster than the main front, although it follows confi...

Silver impregnation of collagenous microfibrils has been applied in electron microscopy in recent years by yon Herrath and Det tmer (3), Dettmer, Neckel, and Ruska (1), Det tmer (2), Schwarz (5), Tomlin (6), and Irving and Tomlin (4). The main purpose of these authors was to determine whether the silverimpregnation picture of the so called reticulin fibers differed from that of the collagenous ...
