Emerging strategies to fabricate polymeric nanocarriers for enhanced drug delivery across blood-brain barrier: An overview
Adv Colloid Interface Sci. 2023 Sep 26;320:103008. doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.103008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBlood-brain barrier (BBB) serves as an essential interface between central nervous system (CNS) and its periphery, allowing selective permeation of ions, gaseous molecules, and other nutrients to maintain metabolic functions of brain. Concurrently, it restricts passage of unsolicited materials from bloodstream to CNS which could otherwise lead to neurotoxicity. Nevertheless, in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, and other brain cancers,...

Controversies on the mechanism and kinetics of emulsion polymerization: An updated critical review
Adv Colloid Interface Sci. 2023 Sep 24;320:103005. doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.103005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConventional emulsion polymerization (EP) is a process via free radicals whose driving force for its development has been its versatility to generate polymer colloids with ad hoc characteristics for a wide variety of applications, as well as its friendly character to the environment since the continuous medium is water. Although through decades of research, considerable progress has been made in understanding its mechanism and kinetics, some aspects are still not entirely clear. Furthermore, new ideas and experi...

Approximation of electrical double-layer thickness in hydrocarbon systems flowing through the pores of reservoir rocks
This article evaluates the effects of overlap of the diffuse layers in the narrow capillaries of the reservoir rock cores in oils. Methods were developed to estimate the double-layer thickness in hydrocarbon systems, and to predict the effects of double-layer overlap on the streaming current and hence on the calculation of surface potentials for flat-sided capillaries. These methods are used to interpret results from sandstone cores in crude oil and hydrocarbon solvents. The estimation of double-layer thickness in non-aqueous solvents on the basis of 1:1 charge carriers by analogy to water systems, with correction for visc...

Synthesis of dimpled polymer particles and polymer particles with protrusions - Past, present, and future
Adv Colloid Interface Sci. 2023 Sep 14;320:102998. doi: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.102998. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince the development of emulsion polymerization techniques, polymer particles have become the epitome of standard colloids due to the exceptional control over size, size distribution, and composition the synthesis methods allow reaching. The exploration of different variations of the synthesis methods has led to the discovery of more advanced techniques, enabling control over their composition and shape. Many early investigations focused on forming particles with protrusions (with one protrusion, called dumbbel...

The primary data source to understand the surface charge on crude oil comprises measurements of zeta potential on individual drops or emulsions obtained using the electrophoretic method (EPM). Here we (i) collate and review previous measurements of zeta potential on crude oil, (ii) compare and contrast the results, and (iii) report new measurements of zeta potential on c...
