A Novel Inward Gradient Self-Lubrication Layer with Soft Alloys and Its Lubricating Mechanism by Songshan Yan, Ling Qin, Rui Hu, Zuomin Liu

“…The layer has an excellent lubricating property (friction coefficient about 0.2~0.3 at 600°C). The research reveals the lubricating mechanism, observing the phenomenon that the soft-metal in the matrix diffuses out of the frictional surface, and measures the lubricating film thickness as about 20 μm on the worn surface.…”

Characterization and in vitro anticancer study of PEGylated liposome dually loaded with ferulic acid and doxorubicin by Andang Miatmoko, Patricia Kinanti Christy, Alfionita Isnaini, Berlian Sarasitha Hariawan, Devy Maulidya Cahyani, Margaret Ahmad, Nuzul Wahyuning Diyah, Mohamad Faris Adrianto, Ravi Kiran Deevi, Iwan Sahrial Hamid, Juni Ekowati

“…The doxorubicin and ferulic acid-loaded liposome composed of HSPC, Cholesterol, and DSPE-mPEG2000 (55:40:5 molar ratio) was prepared by thin film hydration method. The findings indicate that the encapsulation of ferulic acid had an impact on liposome characteristics, i.e., increasing the particle size of Lipo-DOX from 134.5 ± 4.8 nm to 154.1 ± 5.2 nm for Lipo DOX-FA, increasing the zeta potential of Lipo-DOX from − 16.04 ± 2.59 to 0.2 ± 0.0 mV for Lipo DOX-FA, and reducing the entrapment efficiency percentage of Lipo-DOX from 88.30 ± 1.89% to 85.99 ± 3.02% for Lipo DOX-FA. …”
