The influence of bilayer composition on the gel to liquid crystalline transition.

4 Aug 2009 We report molecular dynamics simulations of bilayers using a united atom model with explicit solvent molecules. The bilayer consists of the single tail cationic surfactant behenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (BTMAC) with stearyl alcohol (SA) as the ... Read more...

Development of extended release divalproex sodium tablets containing hypdrophobic and hydrophilic matrix.

29 Jun 2009 Bilayered tablets of Divalproex sodium for once-a-day administration were prepared using a hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer as release retarding agents. This technology was found to be more effective than a simple matrix tablet with a mixture of ... Read more...

Topical vehicles based on natural surfactant/fatty alcohols mixed emulsifier: The influence of two polyols on the colloidal structure and in vitro/in vivo skin performance.

30 May 2009 There is a growing need for in-depth research into new skin- and environment-friendly surfactants, such as alkylpolyglucosides. The aim of this study was to assess whether, to which extent and by what mechanism the two commonly used hydrophilic ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Fatty Alcohols'

Definition: Usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4 carbons, derived from natural fats and oils, including lauryl, stearyl, oleyl, and linoleyl alcohols. They are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, plastics, and lube oils and in textile manufacture. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)
