Micellar solutions as environmentally-friendly agents for cleaning artworks

Rathousky J., Remzova M., Zouzelka R., J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry, AS CR, CZ

Micellar solutions and microemulsions are efficient agents for cleaning artworks, especially for the selective removal of aged polymeric coatings from the surface of wall paintings. We have aimed at the development of a generalized method [...]

Formation of Drug Nanoparticles from Microemulsions

Magdassi S., Margulis-Goshen K., Hebrew University of Jerusalem, IL

A new method for preparation of water-insoluble organic nanoparticles, in a form of re-dispersible powder will be described. The method is based on rapid conversion of nanodroplets into nanoparticles, by evaporation of all volatile solvents [...]

Coating of Glass Surfaces with Nanoparticles of different Materials Synthesized in Microemulsions

López-Trosell A., Schomäcker R., TU Berlin, DE

In this paper a developed methodology is presented to coat glass substrates with nanoparticles of different materials. Particles of palladium, zirconium oxide, yttrium iron garned and perovskite Ca0.5Sr0.5MnO3 were synthesized in microemulsions. The microemulsions form [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of Perovskite Ca0.5Sr0.5MnO3 Nanoparticles in w/o-Microemulsions

López-Trosell A., Schomäcker R., TU Berlin, DE

In the present work, w/o-microemulsions were employed to produce nanoparticles of perovskite Ca0.5 Sr0.5 MnO3. The reaction inside the microemulsion droplets was achieved by addition of sodium hydroxide as co-precipitation agent. Afterward the precursor of [...]
