Bitumen emulsion has been widely used as the tack coat and surface treatment material for asphalt pavement. A major advantage of this is it does not require heating during construction. However, faces concern low mechanical strength, especially at high service temperatures. To improve strength bitumen emulsion, various research efforts have made to use waterborne epoxy resin a modifier produce ...

An emulsion is a two-phase liquid system of two immiscible liquids, where the liquid with lower mass fraction is dispersed in form of small droplets in other surrounding liquid of higher mass fraction. Emulsions are widely used to produce sol–gel, drugs, synthetic materials, and food products. Based on the size of droplet, emulsions can be classified as micro and macro emulsion. Karbstein and S...

OBJECTIVES Some propofol emulsion formulations contain EDTA or sodium metabisulfite to inhibit microbe growth on extrinsic contamination. EDTA is not known to react with propofol formulation components; however, sulfite has been shown to support some oxidation processes and may react with propofol. This study compared the oxidation of propofol and the formation of free radicals by electron para...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of inhaled aerosolized antibiotics is limited by poor ventilation of infected airways. Pulmonary delivery of antibiotics emulsified within liquid perfluorocarbon [antibacterial perfluorocarbon ventilation (APV)] may solve this problem through better airway penetration and improved spatial uniformity. However, little work has been done to explore emulsion formulation...

The tributyrin lipid emulsion was proved to be able to bind to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of the emulsion in vivo and the cellular activity in vitro. The pharmacokinetics of tributyrin and its metabolite, butyrate, was evaluated in male Wistar rats after administration with pure tributyrin or tributyrin emulsion. After o...

Double emulsion droplets generation is convenient for drug delivery applications since the core-shell template has ability to increase success of target and release drug. In this study, modified flow-focusing microfluidics device proposed generate double with high monodispersity throughput, satisfying industrial needs. The W/O/W (water-in-oil-in-water) encapsulation a common combination in deli...
