Rheological characterization of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose solutions: Gelation and molecular interactions with additives
(2015)
The discovery and development of highly hydrophobic drugs represents an additional challenge for the pharmaceutical industry, as traditional methods of encapsulation, administration, and dosage are not always appropriate. ...
Synthesis of multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications
(2009)
Magnetite nanoparticles are attractive for biomedical applications such as magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), a novel cancer treatment, due to their ability to induce heating through energy dissipation in an oscillating ...
Synthesis of platinum nanostructures using zeolites
(2011)
Due to their outstanding and tunable electronic properties, platinum nanowires have the potential to be used in the development of advanced devices. The quantum confinement effect of the electrons and the increased surface ...
Modeling the phase equilibrium of multicomponent systems involving solids, supercritical fluids, and consolvents
(2006)
Carbon dioxide is one of the most commonly used supercritical fluids. However, its uses
are limited due to its low solubility capacity for polar substances. Addition of cosolvents
improves the solubility of polar and ...
Examination of the effect of PEG-Rich matrices in Multi Drug Resistance-Associated Protein (MRP) and Multi Drug Resistance (MDR) substrates transport utilizing the CaCo-2 Cell Model
(2008)
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is responsible for the low absorption of a very wide range of drugs and has been recognized as one of the major hurdles in drug absorption. Crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) based morphologies ...
Assessment of the stability and biological activity of our model proteins encapsulated in hydrogel membranes
(2007)
Proteins are biological macromolecules which have a unique spatial conformation. This spatial conformation can be affected by extremes in pH, temperature, and organic solvents. Once this 3D spatial conformation is affected ...
Dynamics and rheology of Janus drops
(2015)
This dissertation sheds some light on the dynamics and rheological properties of compound multiphase drops in the creeping motion limit of the fluid phases from a fundamental standpoint. A compound multiphase drop can ...
Synthesis and characterization of cobalt-substituted ferrite nanoparticles using reverse micelles
(2005-09)
With the objective of developing a magnetic nanoparticle based sensor, we have
synthesized cobalt-substituted ferrite particles using reverse micelles. Reverse micelles
have been used to control the nanoparticle size. ...
Functionalization of inhalable particles by fluidized bed processing
(2008)
This work focused initially on the size reduction of naproxen sodium to less than 5 µm for inhalation applications. The second objective was the adhesion of naproxen sodium particles to micronized lactose particles with ...
Porous carbon-faujasite composites containing transition metals for aqueous phase adsorption applications
(2014)
Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) have emerged in surface water in concentration levels enough to categorize them as “emerging contaminants” due to a lack of efficient wastewater treatment plant removal ...
