Development and validation of a micellar liquid chromatographic method to determine three antitumorals in plasma
2017
Aim: A micellar liquid chromatographic method to determine several anticancer drugs (pazopanib, dabrafenib and regorafenib) in plasma was developed and validated by the guidelines of the EMA. Experimental: Plasma samples were directly injected, after a 1/5-dilution in a micellar solution. The drugs were resolved in <18 min using a C18 column. The mobile phase was an aqueous solution of 0.12 M SDS – 2% 1-pentanol, buffered at pH 7. The detection was performed by absorbance at 260 nm. Results: The values of the main validation parameters were: LOD (0.1–1 mg/l), calibration range (0.2–2 to 80 mg/l), accuracy (-12.5 to +11.7%) and precision (<11.9%). Conclusion: The procedure was conduct…
Phase behavior of aqueous solutions of bovine serum albumin in the presence of dextran, at rest, and under shear.
2006
The demixing conditions for aqueous solutions of bovine serum albumin (BSA, fraction V) and for joint solutions of BSA plus dextran (DEX, M(w) = 2000 kg/mol) were determined by turbidimetric measurements as a function of composition, temperature, and shear rate. Aqueous solutions of BSA phase separate upon heating. Within the region of BSA concentrations between 0.05 and 32 wt %, the demixing temperature, T1, falls from ca. 65 degrees C to an almost constant value of 45 degrees C. Adding DEX to the BSA solutions reduces the homogeneous region of the mixture drastically where the amount of DEX required to lower T1 to 25 degrees C decreases rapidly as the concentration of BSA is raised. Exper…
Small-Angle Neutron Scattering from Aqueous Solutions of C12E6 and C12E8: Critical Fluctuations and Micellar Growth
1986
Static SANS measurements have been performed on 0.028 M C12E8 in D2O over the temperature range 20–74.2 °C. Little micellar growth is observed; increases in the scattered intensities in the low angle region are due to critical concentration fluctuations of correlation length g. We have also reexamined our SANS data for C12E6 in D2O, in light of other worker’s claims that a sphere-to-cylinder transition in micellar shape is occurring in these solutions. We discuss in detail the inferences about C12E6 micellar size drawn from the results of several different experimental techniques.
N-Isopropylacrylamide andN-Isopropylmethacryl-amide: Cloud Points of Mixtures and Copolymers
2001
The cloud point curve of aqueous solutions of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) and their statistical copolymers were determined turbidimetrically. All the Systems demix upon heating at the cloud point temperature and mix reversibly upon cooling. The cloud points are independent of the total concentration of the solutions (dilute range) and of the sample thickness. Mixtures of the homopolymers poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) in water (ternary systems) exhibit two cloud points, which are nearly the same as the cloud points of the two binary systems homopolymer/water. A quantitative correlation was found between the cloud point temper…
Pb(II) adsorption by a novel activated carbon - alginate composite material. A kinetic and equilibrium study.
2016
The adsorption capacity of an activated carbon – calcium alginate composite material (ACAA-Ca) has been tested with the aim of developing a new and more efficient adsorbent material to remove Pb(II) ion from aqueous solution. The study was carried out at pH = 5, in NaCl medium and in the ionic strength range 0.1–0.75 mol L−1. Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (DP-ASV) technique was used to check the amount of Pb(II) ion removed during kinetic and equilibrium experiments. Different kinetic (pseudo first order, pseudo second order and Vermuelen) and equilibrium (Langmuir and Freundlich) models were used to fit experimental data, and were statistically compared. Calcium alginate …

Chemical-state analyses of Ni, Zn, and W ions in NiWO$_4$-ZnWO$_4$ solid solutions by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
2022
The chemical states of Ni, Zn, and W in microcrystalline NiWO$_4$-ZnWO$_4$ solid solutions were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The recorded spectra of the Ni 2p, Zn 2p, and W 4f photoelectron lines and Ni L$_2$M$_{23}$M$_{45}$, Zn L$_3$M$_{45}$M$_{45}$, and W N$_4$N$_{67}$N$_{7}$ Auger-transition lines show pronounced changes with increasing Zn concentration. The positions of the resolved photoelectron and Auger-transition lines were combined to construct so-called chemical-state plots (Wagner or Auger-parameter plots) for metal ions in solid solutions. With increasing Zn concentration, the Auger parameter increases for Ni and decreases for W, thus evidencing a lowering and an…
Enhanced structural correlations accelerate diffusion in charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions
1999
Theoretical calculations for colloidal charge-stabilized and hard sphere suspensions show that hydrodynamic interactions yield a qualitatively different particle concentration dependence of the short-time self-diffusion coefficient. The effect, however, is numerically small and hardly accessible by conventional light scattering experiments. Applying multiple-scattering decorrelation equipment and a careful data analysis we show that the theoretical prediction for charged particles is in agreement with our experimental results from aqueous polystyrene latex suspensions.
Enthalpy of Solution of Nonionic Solutes in Organized Systems
1989
The standard enthalpies of solution of alcohols in micellar solutions of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide were obtained by direct measurements and by enthalpies of mixing. The observed trends were analyzed with a previously reported model. From the resulting equations, the distribution constant, standard enthalpy of transfer from aqueous to the micellar phase and the standard enthalpy of solution in micellar phase can be calculated at the same time using a linear least-squares analysis. The model seems to hold well also in the case of short chain surfactants and microheterogeneities in spite of the fact that the micellization equilibrium is treated as a pseudo-phase transition.
Revealing Magnetite Nanoparticles Aggregation Dynamics – A SLS and DLS Study
2010
\(\mathrm{Fe}_{3}\mathrm{O}_{4}\) nanoparticles in aqueous suspensions are not stable but aggregate, tremendously changing the rheological properties of the nanofluid. Modified version of both the Static Light Scattering (SLS) setup and of Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) setup experiment were used to monitor \(\mathrm{Fe}_{3}\mathrm{O}_{4}\) nanoparticle aggregation in aqueous diluted suspension. The experiments are described in detail and the variation of the average aggregate diameter in time is presented in this work.
