Fluoroalkyl esters of 3-carboxy pyrroline nitroxide, FPn (n=8 and 12), containing (n-2) CF(2) groups in the side-chain, were used as novel ESR spin probes of fluorinated micellar systems. The method was applied to study aqueous solutions of perfluoropolyether surfactants of the general formula Cl(C(3)F(6)O)(2)CF(2)COOX, consisting of two perfluoroisopropoxy units and the counterion X = Na(+) or NH(+)(4). By measuring the change of (14)N hyperfine splitting with surfactant concentration the critical micellar concentration of the ammonium salt was determined at temperatures of 297, 313 and 333 K. The ESR line shape was also examined as a function of surfactant concentration and of temperature in the range 120-360 K. The results are discussed in terms of solubilization and local environment of the probes in micelles of different size and shape, depending on the surfactant concentration and the kind of the counterion.

Background/objectives: This study aimed to fabricate, optimize, and characterize nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) loaded with trans-resveratrol (TRES) as an anti-cancer drug for pulmonary drug delivery using medical nebulizers.
Methods: Novel TRES-NLC formulations (F1-F24) were prepared via hot, high-pressure homogenization. One solid lipid (Dynasan 116) was combined with four liquid lipids (Capryol 90, Lauroglycol 90, Miglyol 810, and Tributyrin) in three different ratios (10:90, 50:50, and 90:10 /), with a surfactant (Tween 80) in two different concentrations (0.

Ketamine HCl, an FDA-approved therapeutic, is administered through various routes, including intranasal delivery. Administering an adequate therapeutic dose of intranasal ketamine HCl is challenging due to the limited volume that can be delivered intranasally given the current commercially available concentrations. This study investigates solubilizing strategies to enhance the aqueous solubility of ketamine HCl for intranasal administration.

This work focuses on the preparation and application of silver nanoparticles/organophilic clay/polyethylene glycol for the catalytic reduction of the contaminants methylene blue (MB) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in a simple and binary system. Algerian clay was subjected to a series of treatments including acid treatment, ion exchange with the surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTABr), immobilization of polyethylene glycol polymer, and finally dispersion of AgNPs. The molecular weight of polyethylene glycol was varied (100, 200, and 4000) to study its effect on the stabilization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and the catalytic activity of the resulting samples.

Recent advancements in polymer materials have enabled the synthesis of bio-based monomers from renewable resources, promoting sustainable alternatives to fossil-based materials. This study presents a novel zwitterionic surfactant, SF, derived from 10-undecenoic acid obtained from castor oil through a four-step reaction, achieving a yield of 78%. SF has a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 1235 mg/L, slightly higher than the commercial anionic surfactant Rhodacal DS-4 (sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate), and effectively stabilizes monomer droplets, leading to excellent conversion and stable latex formation.
