Determining Contact Angles of Powders by Liquid Penetration

PARTICLE & PARTICLE SYSTEMS CHARACTERIZATION, Issue 4 2004
Ulrich Teipel
Abstract The wettability of a powder is important, especially in chemical and pharmaceutical technologies when considering the manufacturing process and the properties of the final product. However, contact angle methods for powders are problematic. The common measurement techniques are the sessile drop method and the liquid penetration method. In this work the determination of contact angles of powders by liquid penetration is considered. In particular, we investigated the influence of the sample preparation and sampling device on the wetting process. A bulk with constant properties during the measurement must be guaranteed. We postulate a packing procedure to obtain reproducible measurements by ensuring constant powder properties. [source]


Cosmetic features and applications of lipid nanoparticles (SLN®, NLC®)

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COSMETIC SCIENCE, Issue 3 2008
E. B. Souto
Synopsis A detailed review of the literature is presented in attempts to emphasize several advantages of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for cosmetic applications. Examples of several actives are given and the main features of the solid core of SLN and NLC for topical delivery of cosmetics are discussed. Lipid nanoparticles have been more and more explored in pharmaceutical technology, showing superior advantages for topical purposes over conventional colloidal carriers. Résumé Un examen détaillé de la littérature est présenté dans les tentatives de souligner les plusieurs avantages des nanoparticule lipidique solide (SLN) et lipidique nanostructurés (NLC) pour applications cosmétiques. Exemples de plusieurs substances actives sont données et les caractéristiques principales du noyau plein de SLN et de NLC pour la libération topique des produits de beauté sont discutées. Les nanoparticles lipides ont été de plus en plus explorées en technologie pharmaceutique, montrant des avantages supérieurs pour les porteurs colloïdaux conventionnels pour administration topique de buts.

Liquid membrane technology: fundamentals and review of its applications

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY, Issue 1 2010
M. F. San Román
Abstract OVERVIEW: During the past two decades, liquid membrane technology has grown into an accepted unit operation for a wide variety of separations. The increase in the use of this technology owing to strict environmental regulations and legislation together with the wider acceptance of this technology in preference to conventional separation processes has led to a spectacular advance in membrane development, module configurations, applications, etc. IMPACT: Liquid membrane technology makes it possible to attain high selectivity as well as efficient use of energy and material relative to many other separation systems. However, in spite of the known advantages of liquid membranes, there are very few examples of industrial applications because of the problems associated with the stability of the liquid membrane. APPLICATIONS: Liquid membrane technology has found applications in the fields of chemical and pharmaceutical technology, biotechnology, food processing and environmental engineering. On the other hand, its use in other fields, such as in the case of hydrogen separation, the recovery of aroma compounds from fruits, the application of ionic liquids in the membrane formulation, etc., is increasing rapidly.
