Novel electrohydrodynamic preparation of porous chitosan particles for drug delivery. by Pancholi, K, Ahras, N, Stride, E, Edirisinghe, M

“…Chitosan solutions were electrosprayed in the stable cone-jet mode to systematically study the relationship between particle diameter, viscosity and surface tension. Increasing viscosity resulted in larger diameter particles with a broad size distribution, but decreasing surface tension had the opposite effect. …”

Investigating the sensitivity of microbubble acoustic response for biosensing applications. by Harfield, C, Memoli, G, Jones, P, Ovenden, N, Stride, E

“…A sensitivity analysis was performed for the effect of each of the physical variables upon the bubble response, which indicated high sensitivity to species altering the dynamic surface tension and proximity to a boundary.…”

Hot electrospinning of polyurethane fibres by Nangrejo, M, Bragman, F, Ahmad, Z, Stride, E, Edirisinghe, M

“…The effects of processing solution temperature on the resulting fibre morphologies were assessed using optical and scanning electron microscopy, and were also correlated with solution properties (surface tension, viscosity, electrical conductivity and density). …”

The effect of surfactant shedding and gas diffusion on pressure wave propagation through an ultrasound contrast agent suspension by O'Brien, J, Stride, E, Ovenden, N

“…A revised equation for microbubble motion is proposed that includes the effects of gas diffusion as well as a nonlinear surface tension which depends on a non-constant surfactant surface concentration. …”

Stability of microbubbles prepared by co-axial electrohydrodynamic atomisation. by Farook, U, Stride, E, Edirisinghe, M

“…Both theoretical examination and the experimental results indicated that all three quantities were important in controlling the rate of microbubble dissolution, namely: surface tension at the gas/liquid interface, the effective diffusivity of gas through this interface and the initial concentration of gas dissolved in the surrounding liquid. …”

Spectral imaging for microbubble characterisation by Browning, R, Aron, M, Booth, A, Rademeyer, P, Wing, S, Brans, V, Shrivastava, S, Carugo, D, Stride, E

“…This suggests that the high lipid order of microbubbles is due primarily to compression of the shell as a result of surface tension and is only minimally affected by composition. …”

Electrospraying and Electrospinning of Chocolate Suspensions by Luo, C, Loh, S, Stride, E, Edirisinghe, M

“…The addition of NaCl at low concentrations increased the electrical conductivity and, to a lesser extent, the surface tension of the chocolate samples. Further increases in NaCl concentration to 3%w/w did not bring any additional decrease in the average diameter of the chocolate particles. …”

Novel preparation and characterization of porous alginate films by Wang, X, Li, X, Stride, E, Huang, J, Edirisinghe, M, Schroeder, C, Best, S, Cameron, R, Waller, D, Donald, A

“…Porous alginate films were prepared using a novel route in which alginate solutions of similar surface tensions but different viscosities were bubbled using a T-junction device to generate the films. …”
