Sol–gel chemistry is an efficient tool to control the morphology and reactivity of solids. Drying is the crucial step due to the capillary forces exerted during the classic ambient drying process, which induces the collapse of the wet gel porosity. The use of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), a newly found DCCA were found to be effective in the sol–gel synthesis of crack-free silica gel monolith fr...

Gelled propellants are improved propellants that can be considered as the final extension of liquid propellants. High specific impulse, good density and safety better than that of both solid and liquid propellants are advantages of the gel propellants. They are made by addition a suitable gellant to liquid propellants. In this research, nano Al particles have been used in UDMH gel fuel. The gel...

A material undergoing sol–gel transition evolves from the pre-gel (sol) state to post-gel through critical gel state. It is well-known that gels exhibit power-law rheology. The faster decay of relaxation modulus in can be empirically described by modifying this with a stretched exponential factor. phenomenological analytical expression for proposed invoking symmetry associated evolution time on...

Introduction: Bismuth-based nanoparticles having high atomic number and electron density, besides of being utilized as CT contrast agent, stand as a strongly proposed method for dose enhancement in radiotherapy. Embedded nanoparticle in polymer gel dosimeter poses the first step to assess the dose enhancement capability in nanoparticles. To this end, MAGICA gel dosimeter, whic...

Objective(s): The aim of present study is to formulate mefenamic acid transdermal gel based on vesicular drug delivery approaches.Materials and Methods: For the preparation of mefenamic acid transdermal gel, transfersomes were selected as colloidal carriers. Transfersomes were prepared by hand shaking and thin film hydration techniques. The obtained transfersomes were characterized for vesicula...
