Emulsion of waxy crude oil is one of the common states in the subsea pipeline. At low temperatures in offshore environment, waxy crude oils with water could form the crude oil emulsion gel of oil-in-water emulsion. Thus, the waxy crude oil emulsion viscoelastic behavior for deep sea transportation and restarting pipeline safety is particularly important. By means of MASIII HAAKE rheometer which...

In drug therapy, most therapeutic drugs are of low molecular weight and could freely diffuse in the biological milieu depending on the administration route applied. The main reason for the development of polymeric drug carriers is to obtain desired effects such as sustained therapy, local and controlled release, prolonged activity and reduction of side effects. Alternatively, polymeric carriers...

Abstract: Aim/Background: The purpose of the study was to fabricate and evaluate atenolol loaded micro-sponge in-situ gel. Materials Methods: Oil in Emulsion Solvent Diffusion Technique used for formulation microsponges by using different levels polymers such as Eudragit RS-100 Ethyl Cellulose. prepared micro-sponges were evaluated optical microscopy, percentage yield, drug content, entrapment ...

double emulsion solvent evaporation technique is one of the most attractive methods used to prepare micro and nanoparticles in pharmaceutical areas of interest, but because of the effects of many formulation factors on the size and release behavior of the fabricated particles, optimization of the formulation factors is needed. in this study various parameters including technical and composition...

one small-scale double emulsion technique for incorporation of naja- naja oxiana venom into poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (plga) microspheres were developed and optimized. the effects of high speed homogenization on the double emulsion stability, microsphere size, entrapment efficiency and in vitro release of venom were studied. a stable double emulsion was verified by homogenization method. slow...

Hybrid nanocomposites of binary Pt-Ru/Polyaniline were prepared by oxidative polymerization of aniline andformation Pt and Ru nanoparticles. The polymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of Potassiumhexa cyano Platinate (IV) and Ruthenium (III) nitrosyl nitrate as oxidizing agents. During the reaction anilinemonomers undergo oxidation and form polyaniline (PANi) whereas the redu...

magnetite (fe 3 o 4  and nio) nanoparticles with a size range of 40–60 nm were prepared by sol-gel technique in nano and micro reverse micelles (water- in-oil). the surface properties, size, morphology and crystallographic structure of fe 3 o 4 and nio particles are characterized by means of x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope which will give muc...

We report an innovative and efficient surgery-like strategy for achieving the coalescence of surfactant-stabilized droplets in microchannels. As pairs of preformed droplets flow across a micro-lancet, with a suitable surface wettability, in a converging microchannel simultaneously, their surfaces are scratched by the micro-lancet, which causes temporarily local scattering of surfactants, and th...
