The objective of the paper is to study the effect of a permeation enhancer, sodium taurocholate on permeation of Ondansetron HCl from bioadhesive buccal tablet formulation by performing ex-vivo permeation experiments using porcine buccal mucosa. Optimized formulation has selected based on in-vitro drug release studies of bilayered bioadhesive buccal tablets. To the optimized formulation, 10mM s...

Understanding multi-component transport behavior in membranes with varied internal structures and functionalities is critical for the rational design of that will be challenged separation of, or come contact with, solutions. One interesting application ion exchange CO2 reduction cells as these interact multiple products (e.g. methanol acetate) whose permeation must controlled, they readily oxid...

This review examines the progress that is being made towards the in silico prediction of brain permeation. Following a brief introduction to the blood-brain barrier, the datasets currently available for in silico modeling are discussed. Recent developments in in silico models of brain permeation are summarized in the context of the current state of the art in prediction accuracy. An analysis of...

Excised human skin is utilized for in vitro permeation experiments to evaluate the safety and effect of topically-applied drugs by measuring its skin permeation and concentration. However, ethical considerations are the major problem for using human skin to evaluate percutaneous absorption. Moreover, large variations have been found among human skin specimens as a result of differences in age, ...

Organic–inorganic multilayer permeation barriers are emerging as a promising solution to the stringent barrier requirement of flexible electronics. Yet the mechanical failure of the multilayer permeation barriers could be fatal to their barrier performance. We study two co-evolving failure mechanisms of the multilayer permeation barriers under tension, namely, the cracking of the inorganic oxid...

CO2 single-step thermolysis was achieved using oxygen permeable MIEC (mixed ionic-electronic conducting) membranes made of ceria for separate production CO on the feed side and O2 sweep side. The CO2-dissociation reaction driven by concentrated solar energy as a renewable thermal source applying chemical potential gradient between both membrane sides. A continuous transfer across thanks to flow...

In preparation for routine deployment in a network of greenhouse gas monitoring stations, we have designed and tested a simple method for drying ambient air to near or below 0.2 % (2000 ppm) mole fraction H2O using a Nafion dryer. The inlet system was designed for use with cavity ring-down spectrometer (CRDS) analyzers such as the Picarro model G2301 that measure H2O in addition to their princi...

The aim of this study was to measure permeation of the herbicide dichlobenil in Casoron 4G through disposable and chemically protective nitrile gloves using an American Society for Testing and Materials-type permeation cell and a closed-loop system employing two different solvents (hexane and water) and two different challenge situations (aqueous emulsion and solid formulation). Capillary gas c...

Nanoparticles are generally considered excellent candidates for targeted drug delivery. However, ion leakage and cytotoxicity induced by nanoparticle permeation is a potential problem in such drug delivery schemes because of the toxic effect of many ions. In this study, we have carried out a series of coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the water penetration, ion transp...

Organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and o-, m-, and p-xylene from contaminated soil and groundwater may permeate through thermoplastic pipes which are used for the conveyance of drinking water in water distribution systems. In this study, permeation parameters of benzene in 25 mm (1 inch) standard inside dimension ratio (SIDR) 9 high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes were ...
