Formation and properties of liposome-stabilized all-aqueous emulsions based on PEG/dextran, PEG/Ficoll, and PEG/sulfate aqueous biphasic systems

Abstract

Vesicle-stabilized all-aqueous emulsion droplets are appealing as bioreactors because they provide uniform encapsulation via equilibrium partitioning without restricting diffusion in and out of the interior. These properties rely on the...

Emerging delivery systems based on aqueous two-phase systems: A review

“…Therefore, several strategies have been proposed, such as using liposomes 70 , sheet-like nanoparticles 71 , charged particles 66 , and cross-linking monomers 72 , to realize the interfacial stabilization of all-aqueous droplets and transform them into functional biomaterials. Most of these biomaterials consist of a stable shell and a core of droplets, that is, microcapsules ( Table 2 ) 66 , 68 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 .…”

Interfacial stabilization of aqueous two-phase systems: a review

“…123,124 They have also been employed to stabilize PEG/ Ficoll and PEG/sulfate aqueous two-phase systems. 123 Moreover, lipids can be modified such that the liposomes achieve selectivity for the transport of different solutes across the liposome membrane. 124 These modified lipids are combined with unmodified lipids to form multifunctional liposomes.…”

Flows of a nonequilibrated aqueous two-phase system in a microchannel

“…Then, 1 ml ml À1 of the dye stock solution is added to the miscible outer stream of DEX and PEG. This dye was chosen to dope the outer stream, since Alexa Fluor has been shown to have an affinity to the PEG phase, 34 which makes it a suitable tracer for PEG.…”
