We report the holographic photopatterning of a microemulsion with a formamide polar phase and an acrylate monomer-containing nonpolar phase to produce polymer structures with periodic nanoscale porosity. Formamide is a highly polar solvent that forms well dispersed, nonaqueous emulsion droplets within the monomer-containing nonpolar phase before holographic patterning. Photochemically initiated...

Organic nanodots of a cation radical salt of amphiphilic bis-TTF annulated macrocycle derivative were fabricated on mica surface by cast technique. The nanodots, whose diameter and height of nanodots depended on the surface positions, were arranged on mica surface during the solvent evaporation process.

The objective of the present study was to prepare and evaluate matrix microspheres system for simultaneous and sustained release of candesartan cilexetil and captopril for the management of nephritic syndrome, Ethyl cellulose was used as a retardant polymer and IR study showed better compatibility of it with both the drugs, the matrix microspheres were prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation m...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of errors commonly made in using total-etch adhesives, on the resulting bond strength, fluid movement and nanoleakage of resin dentin bonds. METHODS Two total-etch adhesives were used for bonding to dentin according to the manufacturers' recommendations, with meticulous solvent evaporation (control), or with the introduction of common bonding errors-...

Solvents are widely used in wood conservation for either dissolving polymers for consolidation purposes or for removing dirt or foreign matter, which was applied during previous conservation. Solvents may cause temporary swelling of the wood, and when they evaporate wood returns back to its original size. They may form complexes with wood components when unlimited swelling arises as a consequen...

glibenclamide (glib) is a poorly soluble drug with formulation-dependent bioavailability. therefore, we attempted in this study to improve glib dissolution rate by preparing drug solid dispersions by solvent evaporation (se) and supercritical fluid solvent-antisolvent techniques (scf-sas). a d-optimal mixture design was used to investigate the effects of different ratios of hpmc e5 (50-100%), p...

When a polymer solution with volatile solvent is exposed to open air, an elastic layer (called a skin) is often formed at the surface of the solution due to evaporation of the solvent. After such a skin is formed, further extraction of the solvent from the solution caused by evaporation has generally been considered to reduce the pressure in the solution. We have found that, in PMMA/acetone dro...

objective(s):the aim of this study was to improve flowability and compressibility characteristics of starch to use as a suitable excipient in direct compression tabletting. quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion was used as a crystal modification method. materials and methods: corn starch was dissolved in hydrochloric acid at 80˚c and then ethanol as a non-solvent was added with lowering temperature ...

An organic nonlinear optical single crystal of gamma glycine (GGLY) has been grown by slow evaporation of the saturated solution at room temperature. Single crystal of gamma glycine (GGLY), an organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material, has been grown by slow solvent evaporation technique. Good optical quality single crystals with dimension up to 31 × 30 × 6 mm are obtained. The crystals are char...
