Encapsulation of biomolecules and cells in hydrogel capsules via emulsion templating frequently induces an irreversible loss of bioactivity, because of the use of nonaqueous solvents. Here, we introduce an all-aqueous electrospray (AAE) approach to generate aqueous two-phase emulsion droplets, and we use them as templates to fabricate microcapsules with preserved cell viability. The approach al...

The angular distributions of scattering of 10 and 14Mev neutrons by deuterons have been investigated using photographic emulsions. 1540 deuteron recoils entering the emulsion from a thin target of heavy wax placed in contact with its surface were measured. The results are shown to be in good agreement with the recent theoretical curves of Buckingham, Hubbard and 1VIassey. The errors to which th...

Here, we prepared hydrophobic cryogel particles with monolithic supermacropores based on poly-trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (pTrim) by combining the inverse Leidenfrost effect and cryo-polymerization technique. The adopting this method demonstrated separation of stabilized O/W emulsion surfactant. were characterized in terms macroscopic shape porous structure. It was found that had a narro...

there are numerous problems for using essential oil due to its low solubility in water, high vapor pressure and chemical and physical instability. use of nano-emulsions is a good idea for decreasing side effect of the essential oils and enhance their efficiency as well as delivery to hot spot. in addition, nano-emulsion system make smaller size particles and increase stability and shelf-life of...

AIM To evaluate intraocular biodistribution of fluorescent nanoparticles composed of dexamethasone bound to chitosan after intravitreal administration in rabbit eyes. MATERIAL AND METHODS The chitosan and gelatin based nanoparticles were synthetized using a reverse emulsion-double crosslinking technique (ionic and covalent) and then dexamethasone was bound. Two units of 1% suspension of these...

Natural plant extracts have been shown as effective and attractive dental biomaterials with promising properties for restorative/reparative procedures. These bioactive extracts, however, may lose their stability when exposed to air, moisture, or light, if not well-protected. Here, we present a novel technique for sequestering bioactive extracts within polymer microcapsules for long-term stabili...

Microencapsulation using extrusion and emulsion techniques was prepared for Bifidobacterium longum protection against sequential exposure to simulated gastric and intestinal juices, refrigeration storage and heat treatment. Eleutherine americana was used as the co-encapsulating agent. Hydrolysis of E. americana by gastric and intestinal juices was also determined. E. americana and its oligosacc...

Emulsion polymerization is the most widely used synthetic technique for fabricating polymeric particles. The interfacial tension generated with this technique limits the ability to tune the topology and chemistry of the resultant particles. We demonstrate a general emulsion interfacial polymerization approach that involves introduction of additional anchoring molecules surrounding the microdrop...

The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate microencapsulated controlled release preparations of a highly water/soluble drug, salbutamol sulphate by (water in oil) in oil emulsion technique using ethyl cellulose as the retardant material. Various processing and formulation parameters such as drug/polymer ratio, stirring speed, volume of processing medium were optimized to maximize the e...
