Transient Foaming Behavior of CO2-soluble, Viscoelastic Surfactant in Microfluidic Model, Sand Pack and Limestone Core

Ramadhan G., P. Nguyen Q., The University of Texas at Austin, US

Aqueous foam has been demonstrated through laboratory and field experiments as an effective conformance control technique for gas enhanced oil recovery and carbon sequestration. The use of polymer as an additive to an aqueous foam [...]

Quatsomes: vesicles formed by self-assembly of sterols and

Ferrer-Tasies L., Moreno-Calvo E., Cano-Sarabia M., Aguilella-Arzo M., Angelova A., Lesieur S., Ricart S., Faraudo J., Ventosa N., Veciana J., CSIC, ES

Thermodynamically stable nanovesicular structures are of high interest for academia and industry in a wide variety of application fields, ranging from nanomaterials preparation to nanomedicine. Here we show the ability of quaternary ammonium surfactants and [...]

Structural Characterization of Novel Micro- And Nano-Scale Non-Viral DNA Delivery Systems for Cutaneous Gene Therapy

Foldvari M., Badea I., Wettig S., Verrall R., Bagonluri M., University of Saskatchewan, CA

Our main goal is to develop micro/nano-scale self-assembling delivery vehicles for cutaneous gene therapy. The objective of this study was to characterize the structural and physicochemical properties of novel dicationic lipid-based DNA complexes by atomic [...]
