Zein, a protein extracted from maize, can be employed to easily produce nanoscale particles suitable for use as carrier systems. This review investigates the main methods for obtaining zein nanoparticles, as well as the ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of four methods of sperm selection, on the integrity and stability of the plasma membrane, integrity of the acrosomal membrane and spermatic morphology in frozen/thawed ovine ...

This study aimed at understanding the influence of beer colloidal composition and size on physical stability of the colloidal suspensions in beer before filtration. The percentages of retention during filtration indicate ...

Sunscreen formulations containing inorganic/organic filters or mixture of them were synthesized by oil/water dispersion. The viscosity measurements show that sunscreen formulations are time-dependent non-Newtonian fluids. ...

The colloidal stability of poly(ethylene glycol)-decorated poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA/Tween-20, particles was investigated by means of phase separation measurements, in the presence of sodium fluoride (NaF), sodium ...

Aggregation and disaggregation of particle colloids are one of the most important surface-driven phenomena encountered in the aquatic and terrestrial environments and a key factor controlling a number of important environmental ...
