Lactoferrin (LF) is a multifunctional protein in the transferrin family that has been widely used food and pharmaceutical products. However, it susceptible to denaturation during thermal processing, which can diminish functionality bioavailability of LF final product. Coacervation with biopolymers demonstrated as promising approach protect from denaturation. This work aims study formation condi...

The synthesis and solubility behaviors of four generation five (G5) triazine dendrimers are studied. While the underivatized cationic dendrimer is soluble in water, the acetylated and propanoylated derivatives undergo coacervation in water upon increasing temperature. Occurring around room temperature, this behavior is related to a liquid-liquid phase transition with a lower critical solution t...

China) Abstract: The microencapsulated display device is the main choice for electrophoretic display. The application of environment friendly dispersion medium is very critical for the commercialization of this technology. The electrophoretic microcapsules using Isopar L, which is non-toxic, low aromatic concentration and volatility, as dispersion medium were prepared by complex coacervation be...

The present study describes the development of multilayer microcapsules by 11 alternate additions of chitosan (Chi) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in a combined emulsification and phase coacervation method based on ionic interactions. After an alkali treatment, microcapsules are applied on polyester (PET) fabric by a padding process to investigate their wash-durability on fabric. Air atmosphe...

The spontaneous assembly of chemically encoded, molecularly crowded, water-rich micro-droplets into periodic defect-free two-dimensional arrays is achieved in aqueous media by a combination of an acoustic standing wave pressure field and in situ complex coacervation. Acoustically mediated coalescence of primary droplets generates single-droplet per node micro-arrays that exhibit variable surfac...

50 kDa chitosan was conjugated with folate, a specific tissue-targeting ligand. Nanoparticles such as chitosan-DNA and folate-chitosan-DNA were prepared by coacervation process. The hydrodynamic intravenous injection of nanoparticles was performed in the right posterior paw in normal and arthritic rats. Our results demonstrated that the fluorescence intensity of DsRed detected was 5 to 12 times...

Curcumin (CU) loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) of fatty acids (FA) were prepared with a coacervation technique based on FA precipitation from their sodium salt micelles in the presence of polymeric non-ionic surfactants. Myristic, palmitic, stearic, and behenic acids, and different polymers with various molecular weights and hydrolysis grades were employed as lipid matrixes and stabilise...

Microencapsulation of substances applied on textiles is a relatively new method with many advantages applied in many different fi elds. There are many effective approaches to microencapsulation for decreasing release of fragrances and active substances such as essential oils and cosmetic ingredients using cyclodextrins, yeast cells, chitosans, melamine-formaldehyde or poly(L-lactide) as wall ma...
