We demonstrate the synergistic effects of combining atmospheric pressure plasma generation together with aerosolization resultant plasma-activated water using direct current electrospraying for effective chemical-free spray-based surface disinfection. Besides facilitating efficient aerosol pretreated water, DC electrospray itself also constitutes a secondary source that can further enhance plas...

This work proposes an improvement of the traditional electrospraying process, in which supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) is used to produce poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles. The experiments were performed at different PLGA concentrations (1, 3 and 5% w/w), applied voltages (10 30 kV) operating pressures (80, 120 140 bar). It was found that working bar kV, spherical nanopar...

background: l-menthol [(1r,3r,4s)-(-)-menthol] is a flavoring that is the main component of mint herb essential oils, especially of the mentha piperita and mentha arvensis species. its low solubility in aqueous systems makes precise formulation necessary in the final products. of the methods available for fabrication of nanoparticles for use in pharmaceuticals, electrospraying is easy and requi...
