the paper is focused on the formation of calcium phosphate nanoparticles (cp) in polyelectrolyte-modified microemulsions, in a microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, anionic surfactantant and cosurfactant, in the presence of anionic and cationic polyelectrolyte. it is shown that polyelectrolyte, can be incorporated into the individual inverse microemulsion droplets. the ...

in this work needle like hydroxy apatite were synthesized in a reverse microemulsion droplets of water in cyclohexane, separated by a cationic surfactant and co-surfactant, in the presence of na-polyacrylate (paa) as an anionic polyelectrolyte. characterization of the as formed hap nanoparticles at the room temperature were carried out by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and fourier transform infrared s...

objective(s) considering fair response to inhaled corticosteroids and reports of severe air way hyper responsiveness in chemical warfare victims (cwv), a role for eosinophilic inflammation (i.e. asthma) was postulated. the objective of this study was to determine the presence of eosinophilic inflammation in cwv by evaluation of sputum cellularity and eosinophil cationic protein (ecp). materials...

background: natural organic compounds are known as precursors in the formation of disinfection byproducts. the aim of this study was to evaluate of effect of modified cationic surfactant nano zeolite in the removal of humic acid (ha) from water. materials and methods: nano zeolite (clinoptilolite) was modified by cationic surfactant solution hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (hdtma-br), in dos...

Antimicrobial polymers are an attractive alternative to low molecular weight biocides, because they are non-volatile, chemically stable, and can be used as non-releasing additives. Polymers with pendant quaternary ammonium groups and hydrophobic chains exhibit antimicrobial properties due to the electrostatic interaction between polymer and cell wall, and the membrane disruptive capabilities of...
