A volume-perturbation kinetic calorimeter to be used to study membrane phase transitions in lipid vesicles has been developed. In this instrument, the voltage-dependent extension of a stack of piezoelectric crystals is used to force the solution being studied to undergo a small adiabatic bidirection

Changes in the free-volume parameters of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels during the volume phase transition (VPT) were studied with the positron annihilation lifetime technique. The VPT was induced through the variation of the solvent composition in a mixture of acetone and water. The PAAm gels containin
The design of liposomal delivery systems for hydrophobic drug molecules having improved encapsulation efficiency and enhanced drug retention would be highly desirable. Unfortunately, the poor aqueous solubility and high membrane binding affinity of hydrophobic drugs necessitates extensive validation
Large unilamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) liposomes loaded with an aqueous chemotherapeutic drug, cytosine arabinofuranoside (ARA-C), were exposed for 30 min to 60 W/kg continuous-wave (CW) 100-MHz or 2.45-GHz radiation in vitro at temperature
