Essential oil-in-water microemulsions for topical application: structural study, cytotoxic effect and insect repelling activity

Chatzidaki M.D., Demisli S., Zingkou E., Liggri P.G.V., Papachristos D.P., Balatsos G., Karras V., Nallet F., Michaelakis A., Sotiropoulou G., Zographos S.E., Papadimitriou V. (2022)

Essential oils (EOs) extracted from aromatic plants have been well recognized for their insect repellent properties. Although EOs are effective when freshly applied, their protective effect usually dissipates quickly due ...

Ion incorporation on the Zr2CS2 MXene monolayer towards better-performing rechargeable ion batteries

Papadopoulou K.A., Chroneos A., Christopoulos S.-R.G. (2022)

We study Li and, for the first time, K, Mg and Zn ion intercalation on the surface of the Zr2CS2 MXene monolayer, taking advantage of the fact that the S terminations lower the diffusion barrier of the ions. We find that ...

A model of lung surfactant dynamics based on intrinsic interfacial compressibility

Bouchoris K., Bontozoglou V. (2021)

A minimum model for the description of lung surfactant dynamics during consecutive compression/relaxation cycles is proposed. The model is based on Frumkin/Langmuir equilibrium and on an equation of state that includes ...

Modeling atomic force microscopy and shell mechanical properties estimation of coated microbubbles

Lytra A., Sboros V., Giannakopoulos A., Pelekasis N. (2020)

We present an extensive comparison with experimental data of our theoretical/numerical model for the static response of coated microbubbles (MBs) subject to compression from an atomic force microscope (afm). The mechanics ...

Stability and simulations of insonated contrast agents-effect of the constitutive law

Pelekasis, N.; Efthimiu, K.; Tsiglifis, K. (2011)

Under insonation contrast agents are known to exhibit dynamic patterns such as thresholding, compression only behavior, diffusion and deflation, shape deformation, buckling, jetting and break-up, not all of which can be ...

Stability of liquid film flow laden with the soluble surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate: Predictions versus experimental data

Katsiavria A., Bontozoglou V. (2020)

Gravity-driven liquid film flows laden with a soluble surfactant are considered, and aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) are taken as a case-study. Literature measurements of the critical Reynolds number for ...
