A series of π-conjugated oligomer-acceptor dyads were synthesized that feature oligo(phenylene ethynylene) (OPE) conjugated backbones end-capped with a naphthalene diimide (NDI) acceptor. The OPE segments vary in length from 4 to 8 phenylene ethynene units (PE n -NDI, where n = 4, 6 and 8). Fluorescence and transient…

Solid self-nanoemulsifying (S-SNEDDS) asymmetrically coated osmotic tablets of the poorly water-soluble drug Vinpocetine (VNP) were designed. The aim was to control the release of VNP by the osmotic technology taking advantage of the solubility and bioavailability-enhancing capacity of S-SNEDDS. Liquid SNEDDS loaded w…

Cotton fiber and cottonseed are the two major products of cotton crop. The ratio of fiber and cotton is 100/150. Cotton fiber represents 85-90% of cotton’s total economic value. Thus, enhanced utilization of cottonseed products as industrial raw materials would greatly benefit cotton growers and processors. Defatted c…

Micellization in water and reduction of the surface tension at water interfaces with air and oil are two archetypical properties of surfactants, caused by self-aggregation and Gibbs monolayer formation at the interfaces, respectively. We present here a new type of amphiphiles that possess a conical shape consisting of…

Intermolecular interactions in conjugated polymers influence crystallinity, self-assembly, and packing motif, factors which in turn crucially impact charge transport properties such as carrier mobility in organic electronic devices. Correlated alignment of molecular and crystalline morphologies provides direct pathway…

Cardiomyopathy induced by doxorubicin (DOX) was recognized at an early stage and also several years after drug administration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have many properties that make them suitable for preventive and/or regenerative therapies. In this study, we evaluated the effect of MSCs in the functional and th…

We investigate the effect of a skewed permanent magnet (PM) with overhang on the axial unbalanced magnetic force (UMF) of a PM motor, especially in the presence of static and dynamic eccentricities of a rotor. We derive the mathematical equations of the axial UMF acting on PM motor due to the skewed PM with overhang a…
