Poly n-butylcyanoacrylate (PNBCA) nanocapsules as a carrier for NSAIDs: in vitro release and in vivo skin penetration
Download2003
Kubo, W., Takahashi, A., Miyazaki, S., Löbenberg, R., Bachynsky, J.
Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this work was to prepare poly n-butylcyanoacrylate (PNBCA) nanocapsules loaded with indomethacin and to evaluate the ability of this carrier system to deliver the drug systemically after its topical application. Methods: Poly n-butylcyanoacrylate (PNBCA) nanocapsules...

Preparation of liposomes and Encapsulation of Bioactives Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
DownloadSpring 2017
Liposomes are versatile vesicles of a phospholipid bilayer, which offer great protection for active compounds. Encapsulated compounds can be protected from the unfavorable external conditions so that their chemical stability and bioavailability can be greatly enhanced. The supercritical carbon...

Protein Separation with Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Beds: Mechanism and Separation Performance
DownloadSpring 2016
This thesis reports the separation behavior of SDS-protein complexes in colloidal self-assembled (CSA) nanoparticle beds, and the processes of stabilization of CSA beds for high voltage separation. First, the variation of electrophoretic mobility with molecular weight (6.5-66 kDa) of SDS-protein...

Retrieval of Solvent Injected During Heavy-Oil Recovery in Heterogeneous Porous Media: Pore Scale Analysis through Micro Model Experiments
DownloadFall 2016
Solvent retrieval is essential for the economics of the solvent-related heavy-oil recovery technologies. In fractured and oil-wet reservoirs, water-flooding followed by solvent is not suitable to achieve this goal. Two methods can be proposed as solution to solvent retrieval in complex...

Role of Sodium Hydroxide in Bitumen Extraction: Production of Natural Surfactants and Slime Coating
DownloadSpring 2015
Alkaline environment by addition of NaOH in bitumen extraction process often shows a positive effect on bitumen recovery from Athabasca oil sands by mining-extraction method. NaOH ionizes organic acids in the bitumen to produce surfactants. These species are essential for bitumen liberation....
