Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture performance of aqueous tri-solvent blends containing 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) promoted by diethylenetriamine (DETA)
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this present research, promising aqueous amine tri-solvent blends for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture in post-combustion processes were investigated for their cyclic loadings, cyclic capacities, initial absorption rates, ...
A simple approach to predict the stability of phospholipid vesicles to nebulization without performing aerosolization studies
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Membrane extrusion was investigated for predicting the stability of soya phosphatidylcholine liposomes and surfactosomes (Tween 80-enriched liposomes) to nebulization. Formulations were prepared with or without cholesterol, ...
Storage of energy harvested from a miniature turbine in a novel organic capacitor
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The potential of harvesting energy generated from a (5-cm) miniature wind turbine and storing the charge in a novel organic capacitor is experimentally investigated. The energy is generated by subjecting the wind turbine ...
High-pressure CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 separation using dense polysulfone-supported ionic liquid membranes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Four ionic liquids (ILs) were blended with polysulfone (PSF) to produce functional dense polymer-supported IL membranes (DPSILMs). The main aim was to investigate the applicability of the DPSILMs in industrial gas processing ...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture: Absorption-desorption capabilities of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), piperazine (PZ) and monoethanolamine (MEA) tri-solvent blends
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, highly concentrated tri-solvent blends containing 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), piperazine (PZ) and monoethanolamine (MEA) were experimentally investigated for their potential capabilities in carbon ...
Targeted delivery of rifampicin to tuberculosis-infected macrophages: design, in-vitro, and in-vivo performance of rifampicin-loaded poly(ester amide)s nanocarriers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
We have developed a nano drug delivery system for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) using rifampicin (RF) encapsulated in poly(ester amide)s nanoparticles (PEA-RF-NPs), which are biocompatible polymers. In this study, ...
Glycoside-based niosomal nanocarrier for enhanced in-vivo performance of Cefixime
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of a novel glycoside non-ionic surfactant synthesized and characterized in our laboratory for increased oral bioavailability of Cefixime. The surfactant was synthesized by simple ...
