Vertically-aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown on stainless steel (SS) mesh by thermal chemical vapor deposition with a diffusion barrier of Al2O3 film. These three-dimensional porous structures (SS-CNT meshes) were found to be superhydrophobic and superoleophilic. Water advancing contact angles of 145–150 were determined for these SS-CNT meshes in air and oil (gasoline, iso...

Mechanism of the absorption of drugs from oil in water emulsions was studied in the rat large intestine. Synthesized esters of fatty acids and phthalic acid-0.1% Polysorbate 80 was chosen as the emulsion system, the oil/water volume ratio was varied from 0 to 1, and the absorption from emulsions of sulfapyridine, salicylamide, and of acetanilide was investigated using in situ recirculation and ...

Emulsion droplet sizing is an essential measurement requirement of a very broad range of industries including food, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, agrochemicals and crude oil dispersions. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), courtesy of its ability to measure restricted self-diffusion via application of pulsed field magnetic field gradients (PFG), is able to readily measure emulsion drop...

Beverage emulsions are systems that are composed of two liquids including oil and water which are prepared by homogenizing oil phase in an acidic aqueous phase. They must be stable in both concentrated and diluted form for a period of 6-12 months upon standing at room temperature. Two immiscible phases contained systems are thermodynamically unstable. In other words, they are vulnerable to brea...

introduction: medical benefits of omega 3 fatty acids have appealeda lot of research to be done on of fish oil. among marine fish, kilka has the most industrial application. kilka oil contains significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids. in this study, physiochemical properties, fatty acid composition and stabilization of kilka oil were investigated. p- hydroxy benzoic asid, its methyl ester and ...

Abstract—Most of the drugs used for pharmaceutical purposes are poorly water-soluble drugs. About 40% of all newly discovered drugs are lipophilic and the numbers of lipophilic drugs seem to increase more and more. Drug delivery systems such as nanoparticles, micelles or liposomes are applied to improve their solubility and thus their bioavailability. Besides various techniques of solubilizatio...

due to the need to find new protein sources with considering the fact that the bitter vetch seed has high levels of protein content, physicochemical and mechanical properties of bitter vetch seed and functional properties of its flour were evaluated in this study. the effects of altering the ph on protein solubility, foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsion capacity and emulsion stability ...
