Suspensions preparation method

Some preparation methods specific to the formation of nanoparticle suspensions are provided in References [20,62,63]. Many such methods are simply conventional colloidal suspension preparation methods that have been extended to produce smaller particle sizes, but others involve novel approaches. Some ofthese involve making nanoemulsions as a first step. For example, membrane, microfluidic and nanofluidic devices have been used to make nanoscale emulsions of all kinds, as already noted earlier, and the emulsion droplets so generated can be used in turn to make sohd microparticles and nanoparticles. If the nanoparticles are intended to encapsulate other materials, then a double emulsification technique can be used, at elevated temperature, to prepare a multiple emulsion (i.e. 

Some solid-solid reactions were shown to proceed efficiently in a water suspension medium in Sect. 2.1. When this reaction, which gives a racemic product, is combined with an enantioselective inclusion complexation with a chiral host in a water suspension medium, a unique one-pot preparative method of optically active product in a water medium can be constructed. Some such successful examples are described.

Optically active Diels-Alder adducts were also prepared by using a one-pot preparative method and enantioselective formation of inclusion complex with optically active hosts in a water suspension medium.68 For example, A-ethylmaleimide reacts with 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene in water to give the racemic adduct 1. Racemic 1 and the optically active host 2 form enantioselectively a 1 1 inclusion complex of 2 with (+)-l in a water suspension. The inclusion complex can be filtered and heated to release (+)-l with 94% ee (Eq. 12.23). 

An example of the second method of parenteral suspension preparation is testosterone suspension. Here, the vehicle is prepared and sterile-filtered. The testosterone is dissolved separately in acetone and sterile-filtered. The testosterone-acetone solution is aseptically added to the sterile vehicle, causing the testosterone to crystallize. The resulting suspension is then diluted with sterile vehicle, mixed, the crystals allowed to settle, and the supernatant solution siphoned off. This procedure is repeated several times until all the acetone has been removed. The suspension is then brought to volume and filled in the normal manner. 

The hot extraction method is a variation of this procedure. The aqueous pigment suspension, prepared as above, is refluxed for a certain time, usually 5 minutes, cooled rapidly, and filtered. A known amount of extract is then dried by evaporation and the weight of the residue determined, or the extracted pigment weighed and the dissolved portion determined by calculating the difference.

We found [2] that a number of ketone carbinols can be prepared in excellent yields by adding the ketone to the suspension, prepared by introducing an excess of acetylene into a solution of 1-BuOK in THF. This method shows some resemblance with the Favorski preparation. The reactive intermediate is probably potassium acetylide or a complex of it with r-BuOH or acetylene. 

Suspension polymerisation is arguably the simplest and most widely employed preparation method for polymers in beaded form [6], In this method, polymerisation occurs entirely within monomer droplets that are dispersed inside a monomer-immiscible phase the stability of the droplet dispersion is often increased by addition of suitable stabilisers. 

Suspensions or slurries pose a problem since by definition they are not homogeneous. The problem is how to obtain reliable quantitative results from suspensions. One method for dealing with suspensions is to prepare individually weighed samples and stress them at concentrations greater than the final analytical concentration. Prior to analysis the samples are then diluted to the final analytical concentration with a solvent that completely dissolves the sample. For example, if the final analytical concentration desired is 0.3mg/mL, suspensions could be prepared at a concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL by adding 3mL of the appropriate solvent to samples of approximately 3 mg in 10-mL volumetric flasks. Prior to assay, the samples can then be diluted to volume with a solvent capable of completely dissolving the sample. 

Particles can be broadly classified as either colloids or as macroparticulate powders. Colloids typically have dimensions smaller than 1000 A and are optically transparent, while dispersed powders are generally larger and form turbid suspensions. Neither colloidal dispersions nor powder suspensions are usually monodisperse, and to the extent that particle size can influence attainable surface charge and area, many such systems will typically reflect a distribution of properties as a function of preparation method. Recent advances in synthetic techniques for providing materials with reduced polydispersity are likely to allow for better characterization of these effects in the near future. 

The suspension polymerization method has become very popular because of its simplicity and the wide variety of monomers which can be effectively polymerized. Prepared spherical particles are applied in different areas of science and technology. It is also the case of polymer/CNT nanocomposite microspheres produced by the modified...

Preparative Methods the title compound can be prepared by reaction of (R)-2-[l-(dimethylamino)ethyl]phenyllithium with elemental sulfur (eq 1). A solution of pure (R)-2-[l-(dimethyl-amino)ethyl]phenyllithium in THF is slowly added at —50°C to a suspension of a stoichiometric amount of freshly sublimed sulfur. The solution is warmed to room temperature and quenched with an equimolar amount of a 10 M aqueous HCl solution. All volatiles are evaporated at reduced pressure and the residue is sublimed at 120 °C in vacuo (0.1 mmHg). The nitrogen-functionalized derivatives (R)-2-[l-(l-pyrrolidinyl) ethyljbenzenethiol and (R)-2-[l-(l-piperidinyl)ethyl]benzen-ethioP may be prepared in a similar way. It should be noted that reaction with MesSiCl instead of HCl after the sulfur insertion reaction affords the corresponding trimethylsilyl thio ether, which also is a valuable catalyst precursor. ... 

Preparative Methods to a white suspension of (+)-( )-hyd-robenzoin (901 mg, 4.21 mmol) and triethylamine (1.17 mL, 8.41 mmol) in diethyl ether (20 mL), a solution of bis(pentafluo-rophenyl)bromophosphine (3.74 g, 8.41 mmol) in diethyl ether (20 mL) was added dropwise at —78 °C. A white precipitate formed immediately. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature overnight After filtration over Celite, the solvent was removed in vacuo to give (/ ,/ )-BIPHOP-F (3.90 g, 98%). Further purification can be achieved by recrystallization. Both enantiomers are available.

It is essential to prepare single cell suspensions, which exist naturally in very few cases (culmred cells such as HeLa, Hel, and blood cells). In most critical cases (sohd rnmors, tissues, and neural cells), a preliminary step is necessary and classically requires transformation of the tissue in suspension. Two methods are used the first is mechanical, whereas the second requires enzymatic action. It is essential to obtain a monocell suspension, whose characteristics have to be controlled by FC. Once this suspension is obtained, another critical parameter is...
