Aerosol technology

Aerosol technology may be defined as involving the development, preparation, manufacture, and testing of products that depend on the power of a hquefied or compressed gas to expel the contents from a container. This definition can be extended to iaclude the physical, chemical, and toxicological properties of both the finished aerosol system and the propellants.

There has long been an interest in micrometer and submicrometer-size aerocolloidal particles because of their undesirable features as air pollutants, and much of the research on such particles during the past few decades has been stimulated by these objectionable aspects of microparticles. Although pigments such at Ti02 particles have been produced via aerosol technology for many years, a recent surge of interest in the production of fine particles for... 

Several vectors have been used in an attempt to deliver the cf gene to the airway epithelial cells of sufferers. The most notable systems include adenoviruses and cationic liposomes. Vector delivery to the target cells can be achieved directly by aerosol technology. Delivery of cftr cDNA to airway epithelial cells (and subsequent gene expression) has been demonstrated with the use of both vector types. However, in order to be of therapeutic benefit, it is essential that 5-10% of the target cell population receive and express the cftr gene. This level of integration has not been... 

In conclusion, there have been advances in the recent past in both on-line aerosol technology and off-line analytical techniques that show great promise for activities such as the analysis of spores. The next logical step is for chemists and chemical engineers to merge the two types of technologies.
