Mimicking the Behaviors of Oil Contaminated Clays Using Functionalized Silica Nanoparticles
DownloadSpring 2018
Fine sand and clay particles arise naturally in diverse industrial and environmental remediation contexts. Organic compounds for example from oil production or oil spills can adsorb on their surface and influence their oil water interfacial behaviors. To isolate the impact of contamination and...

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...
