A device for generating bubbles or droplets may include a cavity comprising a first pressurized phase, at least one input capillary of a second phase, and an output capillary coaxially aligned with the at least one input capillary. The opening of the tip of the at least one input capillary has an internal diameter of less than half the internal diameter of the output capillary. The cross section of the cavity may be selected so that, in use, the average speed field in the cavity is quasi-static.

The invention relates to a method for obtaining a magnesium fluoride (MgF2) sol solution, comprising the steps of providing a magnesium alkoxide precursor in a non-aqueous solvent and adding 1.85 to 2.05 molar equivalents of non-aqueous hydrofluoric acid, characterized in that the reaction proceeds in the presence of a second magnesium fluoride precursor selected from the group of salts of strong, volatile acids, such as a chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate or triflate of magnesium, or of a catalytic amount of a strong, volatile acid; and/or an additive non-magnesium fluoride precursor selected from the group of salts of strong, volatile acids, such as a chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate or triflate of lithium, antimony, tin calcium, strontium, barium, aluminium, silicium, zirconium, titanium or zinc. The invention further relates to sol solutions, method of applying the sol solutions of the invention to surfaces as a coating, and to antireflective coatings obtained thereby.

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.

The invention relates to free nano-sized particles of active agents e.g. therapeutic, cosmetic or diagnostic agents, and to a method for the preparation of such particles. The method comprises providing a liquid feed stock comprising an active agent or combination of two or more active agents, atomising the liquid feed stock, suspending the droplets in a carrier gas, and passing the carrier gas and droplets through a heated tube flow reactor under predetermined residence time and temperature history, and collecting the particles produced. Nano-sized crystalline spherical uncharged particles with narrow aerodynamic particle size distribution and rough surfaces, are obtained. The particles show improved dissolution rate in-vitro and bioavailability in-vivo, dispersibility and stability.

摘要:
The colloidal dispersion of the invention is characterized in that it comprises an organic phase; particles of an iron compound in its amorphous form; and at least one amphiphilic agent. It is prepared by a process in which either an iron salt in the presence of an iron complexing agent or an iron complex is reacted with a base, maintaining the pH of the reaction medium at a value of at most 8 to obtain a precipitate, the iron complexing agent being selected from hydrosoluble carboxylic acids with a complexing constant K such that the pK is at least 3 and the iron complex being selected from the products of reacting iron salts with said acids; then the precipitate obtained or a suspension containing said precipitate is brought into contact with an organic phase in the presence of an amphiphilic agent to obtain the dispersion in an organic phase. The dispersion of the invention can be used as a combustion additive in liquid fuel or motor fuel.

摘要:
A method for processing soot containing one or more rare earths, wherein said soot is contacted with an oxygen-containing gas, is disclosed. The method comprises (a) preparing an aqueous phase comprising a dispersion of at least one oxygenated metal compound; (b) simultaneously or consecutively contacting a suspension from step (a) with an organic phase including at least one amphiphilic agent and preferably an organic mixture or compound as the solvent; and c recovering the organic phase. Said oxygenated metal compound is produced by means of a method according to which a solution including at least one soluble rare-earth salt, usually an acetate and/or a chloride, is prepared; the solution is contacted with a basic medium and the resulting reaction mixture is maintained at a basic pH; and the precipitate formed by atomization or freeze-drying is recovered. Said method is useful in inorganic synthesis and catalysis.
