Adsorption of procaine at the air/water interface and its penetration into stearic acid monolayers from aqueous subphase of pH 8 are studied by measuring surface tension of aqueous procaine solutions and by recording surface pressure vs. mean molecular area curves for stearic acid monolayers spread onto procaine solutions of different concentrations. The amount of procaine in the interface is derived by means of Gibbs' equation. Results are compared to those obtained earlier at pH 2 and on unbuffered subphases. With increasing pH an increasing procaine adsorption and procaine penetration is observed. This phenomenon is interpreted in terms of protolytic equilibria in which participate both surfactants procaine and stearic acid.

Thermochromic wood-based phase change material (TWPCM) is a temperature-responsive, smart material that actively manages thermal energy in response to ambient temperature fluctuations. The material has become a central focus in research on thermal energy storage and temperature sensing in recent years. A key research direction is the incorporation of delignified veneer impregnated with thermochromic phase change material (TPCM) into a multi-layered structure to enhance the thermal energy storage capacity of TWPCM.

Ferulic acid (FA) is a phenolic compound obtained naturally and is a versatile antioxidant identified for its potential in managing hypertension. However, its application is constrained due to its classification as a BCS Class IV moiety. To address this, we concentrated on improving its solubility and permeability by developing nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) of FA using emulsification probe sonication technique.

Introduction: Long-term fasting (LF) activates an adaptative response to switch metabolic fuels from food glucose to lipids stored in adipose tissues. The increase in free fatty acid (FFA) oxidation during fasting triggers health benefits. We questioned if the changes in lipid metabolism during LF could affect lipids in cell membranes in humans.
