  • Publication number: 20240216311
    Abstract: A fully dilutable in aqueous phase self-microemulsifying system for the delivery of one or more polar oil active compounds having a positive characteristic curvature (Cc), comprising: a lecithin compound; a hydrophilic linker or a combination two or more hydrophilic linkers, the hydrophilic linker or the combination of two or more hydrophilic linkers having one having one hydrocarbon group with 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and the hydrophilic linker or the combination of two or more HLs having a Cc of about ?5 or more negative than about ?5; and a carrier oil.

  • Publication number: 20230067758
    Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed for near unity absorption or near zero reflection of electromagnetic radiation over a wide range of wavelengths, omnidirectionally and that use the absorbed radiation to enhance the catalysis conversion of reactant chemicals to product chemicals of interest via the patterning of subwavelength metamaterial elements as a surface, or colloidal clusters of subwavelength particles as a suspension. The arrangements, dimensions, materials and geometries of the unit elements of the meta-surface or colloidal clusters may be selected to produce an effective refractive index lower than that of the refractive index of the comprising materials, such that the effective index approaches the index of the surrounding medium.

  • Publication number: 20060194706
    Abstract: A novel method for cleaning dental and medical instruments is disclosed, in which a cleaning solution including a low-residue corrosion inhibitor is used not only in a wash stage of the cleaning cycle, but also in at least one subsequent rinse cycle, to optimize both cleaning and rust prevention. A novel cleaning solution particularly suited to this method has a neutral to alkaline pH and comprises in aqueous solution a low-foaming surfactant and a corrosion inhibitor selected from the group of C4-C16 alkyl pyrrolidones and C1-C18 alkylamines.
