Abstract. Though solubility-enhanced electrokinetics (EK) has been investigated in remediation of soils contaminated with hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs), few comparative studies were performed regarding the effect of varied solubilizing agents on both EK parameters and contaminant removal. In this study, performances of two solubilizing agents, ethanol and methyl--cyclodextrin (MCD),…
Abstract. To improve the dissolution rate of ibuprofen, a model poorly water soluble drug, self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) were developed. Various surfactants and oils were screened as candidates for SNEDDS on the basis of droplet size of the resulting emulsions. The influence of the constituent structure, concentration and the composition of SNEDDS formulations, and the…
