Effect of Macroscopic Surface Heterogeneities on an Advancing Contact Line
Solomon S. Melides, Dominic Vella, Marco Ramaioli
The shape of a liquid-air interface advancing on a heterogeneous surface was studied experimentally, together with the force induced by the pinning of the contact line to surface d…
A soft robotic tongue to develop solutions to manage swallowing disorders
Marco Marconati, Silvia Pani, Jan Engmann +2
The development of novel texture adaptations for the management of swallowing disorders could be accelerated if reliable in vitro tests were made available. This study addresses so…
The role of extensional rheology in the oral phase of swallowing: an in vitro study
Marco Marconati, Marco Ramaioli
Swallowing disorders deteriorate significantly the quality of life and can be lifethreatening. Texture modification using shear thinning food thickeners have proven effective in th…
Mixing Grains with Different Elongation in a Rotating Drums
Claudia Piacenza, Marco Marconati, Colin Hare +2
Mixing grains with different properties is a remarkably challenging process, relevant to many industrial applications. Rotating drums have been used extensively as model systems to…
In vitro and sensory tests to design easy-to-swallow multi-particulate formulations
Marco Marconati, Felipe Lopez, Catherine Tuleu +2
Flexible dosing and ease of swallowing are key factors when designing oral drug delivery systems for paediatric and geriatric populations. Multi-particulate oral dosage forms can o…
New trends in mechanistic transdermal drug delivery modelling: Towards an accurate description of skin microstructure
Daniel Sebastia-Saez, Adam Burbidge, Jan Engmann +1
Interest for in silico modelling of the absorption of xenobiotics into the skin has been growing in the last years, owing to their lower cost compared to experimental alternatives,…
