Esterification of starch was carried out to expand the usefulness of starch for a myriad of industrial applications. Lipase B from Candida antarctica, immobilized on macroporous acrylic resin (Novozym 435), was used for starch esterification in two reaction systems: micro-solvent system and solvent-free system. The esterification of corn starch with palmitic acid in the solvent-free system and ...

gallium extraction from jajarm bayer process liquor (jajarm, iran) was investigated using microemulsions. also the behavior of aluminum was studied as an impurity. kelex100 (4-ethyl, 1-methyl, 7-octyl, 8-hydroxyquinoleine), iso-decanol and n-butanol, and kerosene were used as the surfactant, co-surfactant, and oil phase, respectively. ternary phase diagrams were produced using various co-surfac...

a multiple-unit oral floating system was prepared using the emulsification-solvent diffusion method to prolong the gastric emptying time of theophylline. for this purpose, theophylline, ethyl cellulose and dibutyl phthalate were dissolved in an ethanol/dichloromethane mixture, added to 0.1 m hcl containing nacl (20%) or saturated theophylline and/or different concentrations of polysorbate 80 an...

objective(s) ibuprofen is a problematic drug in tableting, and dissolution due to its poor solubility, hydrophobicity, and tendency to stick to surface. because of the bad compaction behavior ibuprofen has to be granulated usually before tableting. however, it would be more satisfactory to obtain directly during the crystallization step crystalline particles that can be directly compressed and ...

Emulsification method is one of the popular methods for producing materials used inbiosensing, bioimaging and others, especially, drug delivery polymer systems in microsize andnanosize. The concrete techniques related to this are emulsification, self-emulsification,in a combination with solvent evaporation process, homogenization, or ultranosication. Thestructure emulsion formulation consists t...

double emulsion solvent evaporation technique is one of the most attractive methods used to prepare micro and nanoparticles in pharmaceutical areas of interest, but because of the effects of many formulation factors on the size and release behavior of the fabricated particles, optimization of the formulation factors is needed. in this study various parameters including technical and composition...

Spontaneous ordering of nanoparticles (NPs) occurring as a consequence of solvent evaporation can yield highly ordered and extended NP superlattices bearing both fundamental scientific interest and potential for technological application. A versatile experimental chamber has been developed allowing (i) controlled in situ deposition of NP solutions on solid substrates, (ii) rate-controlled evapo...

  Objective(s): The purpose of this study was preparation and evaluation of PLGA nanospheres containing the influenza virus and different adjuvants, Quillaja saponin (QS) and CpG-ODN.   Materials and Methods: Nanospheres were prepared using the double emulsion-solvent evaporation method. The morphological and physicochemical properties were studied by scanning electron microscopy...

Emulsion stabilisation of base layers surfaced with chip seals often proves problematic, chips punching into the and early distress. This can be aggravated by use modified binders that restricts evaporation moisture from pavement layers. The introduction new-age (nano)-modified emulsion (NME) has advantage water is chemically repelled stabilised layer, resulting in an accelerated development st...
