When a strong electric field is applied to a colloidal suspension, it may cause an aggregation of the suspended particles in response to the field. In the case of a rotating field, the electrorotation (ER) spectrum can be modified further due to the local field effects arising from the many-particle system. To capture the local field effect, we invoke the Maxwell-Garnett approximation for the d...

Electrofiltration of hydrosols in fixed-bed filters was studied experimentally. The experimental variables examined included media type, electric field strength, and suspension pH values. The extent of particle removal was found to improve with the application of the electric field, and lower pH values favor particle collection. The filtrate quality displayed the transient behavior of increasin...

introduction: the a im of this study is the evaluation of the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy with radachlorin on staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli. new windows are open in the antimicrobial field so-call photodynamic therapy that incorporates a nonpoisonous photosensitizer (ps) with innocuous special wavelength photons to excite the ps. methods: two strains of bacteria us...

Mots-clés : Suspension active Théorie cinétique Micro-organismes nageants Interactions hydrodynamiques Instabilité Active suspensions, such as suspensions of self-propelled microorganisms and related synthetic microswimmers, are known to undergo complex dynamics and pattern formation as a result of hydrodynamic interactions. In this review, we summarize recent efforts to model these systems usi...

In this study, aged aqueous suspensions of C(60) (nC(60)) were investigated in the respirometric OECD test for ready biodegradability. Two suspensions of nC(60) were prepared by stirring and aged under indirect exposure to sunlight for 36 months. ATR-FTIR analyses confirmed the presence of C(60)-structures in the suspensions. Samples of the nC(60) suspensions (20mg/l) were inoculated with activ...

Dense suspensions of multiarm star polymers are known to develop liquidlike microstructure, which has been attributed to the similarities between high functionality stars and colloidal particles interacting via soft, long ranged potentials. Recent experimental studies reported a counterintuitive solidification of suspensions with f=128 , upon increase of the temperature in marginal solvents. We...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability of diazoxide in extemporaneously compounded oral suspensions. Oral suspensions of diazoxide 10 mg/mL were prepared from either bulk drug or capsules dispersed in either Oral Mix or Oral Mix Sugar Free. These suspensions were stored at 5°C and 25°C/60%RH in bottles and oral syringes for a total of 90 days. At predetermined time intervals,...

The stability of barium carbonate (BaCO3) suspensions in the presence of the dispersants, xanthan gum, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and carrageenan, has been studied using a phase separation technique. These materials have been found to stabilise the BaCO3 suspensions by increasing the viscosity of the medium. Of the three polymer dispersants, xanthan gum is the most effective in stabilising a...

Properties of nanomaterial suspensions are typically summarized by average values for the purposes of characterizing these materials and interpreting experimental results. We show in this work that the heterogeneity in aqueous suspensions of fullerene C(60) aggregates (nC(60)) must be taken into account for the purposes of predicting nanomaterial transport, exposure, and biological activity. Th...
