silver-polyaniline (ag-pani) nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ oxidative polymerization of aniline monomer in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (aot) solution as an emulsifier. the synthesis of silver-polyaniline nanocomposites was investigated as a function of several parameters such as aniline concentration, concentration of emulsifier (aot), concentration of oxidation agent and c...

a novel quaternary ammonium-based cationic gemini surfactant (s6) having 1,6 di-bromo hexane as a spacer, have been used and its interaction with insulin in aqueous solution (ph, 7.40) was investigated by several methods including fluorescence spectroscopy, uv-vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism, dynamic light scattering, ζ-potential measurements, conductivity and transmission electron microsc...

Polymeric particles and liposomes are efficient tools to overcome the low immunogenicity of subunit vaccines. The aim of the present study was formulation and optimization of a new cationic lipid-modified PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) as a delivery system for Mycobacterium tuberculosis HspX/EsxS fusion protein. The cationic lipid-modified PLGA NPs containing HspX/EsxS fusion protein were prepared us...

Stable water-in-oil emulsion is essential to digital PCR and many other bioanalytical reactions that employ droplets as microreactors. We developed a novel technology to produce monodisperse emulsion droplets with high efficiency and high throughput using a bench-top centrifuge. Upon centrifugal spinning, the continuous aqueous phase is dispersed into monodisperse droplet jets in air through a ...

Accurate characterization using static light scattering (SLS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods mandates the measurement and analysis of singly scattered light. In turbid samples, the suppression of multiple scattering is therefore required to obtain meaningful results. One powerful technique for achieving this, known as 3D cross-correlation, uses two simultaneous light scattering expe...

The solubility, absorption and distribution of a drug are involved in the basic aspects of oral bioavailability Solubility is an essential characteristic and influences the efficiency of the drug. Over the last ten years, the number of poorly soluble drugs has steadily increased. One of the progressive ways for increasing oral bioavaibility is the technique of nanoparticle preparation, which al...

Controllable synthesis of uniform spherical silver nanoparticles was investigated by carrying out a chemical reduction reaction in a micro emulsion, formed under high shear mixing of aqueous silver nitrate solution and 2-ethyl hexanol as organic phase. Sodium borohydride was used as reducing agent and sorbitan monooleate (span-80) as stabilizer. Further, a study has been performed to observe th...
