  • Method for assisting thermally-induced changes
    Patent number: 11198074
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for assisting a thermally-induced change to a nano-sized solute or dispersed-phase in a liquid. The method comprises the step of passing gas bubbles through the liquid, the gas in the gas bubbles having a temperature higher than the bulk temperature of the liquid.
    Type: Grant

  • Dispersions And Methods Of Preparing Them
    Publication number: 20070213411
    Abstract: The present invention relates to dispersions of hydrophobic pharmaceutically active agents in an aqueous phase and methods for preparing them. Advantageously, the dispersions may be substantially free of additional surfactants, dispersants and stabilizers.

  • Process for the production of emulsions and dispersions
    Publication number: 20050096398
    Abstract: Methods for the formation of colloidal suspensions. The method includes combining an aqueous substance with a second substance that is normally immiscible with the aqueous substance, to form a mixture, and before, during or after the combining removing dissolved gases from one or both of the aqueous and second substance, whereby the aqueous and second substances mix and form a colloidal suspension. The methods for the formation of colloidal suspensions include methods for the formation of emulsions as well as particulate dispersions. The methods used to form the colloidal suspensions in accordance with the present invention produce colloidal suspensions that are stable for periods from an hour to several weeks in the absence of surfactants or stabilizing agents.
