Abstract
There is a growing interest in the study of Therapeutic Deep Eutectic (THEDES) properties in combination with supercritical CO₂ for improved drug delivery. The phase diagrams of two Deep Eutectic Solvents (Ibuprofen:Thymol and Sobrerol:Thymol) were measured under 40 bar partial pressure of CO2 using a variable volume view cell. The results were compared to data at atmospheric pressure found in the literature. A displacement of the whole diagrams (liquidus and solidus lines) to lower temperatures (≈ 10–16 K) was observed without a significant change of the shape of the diagram. The eutectic composition for the system Ibuprofen:Thymol was not appreciably shifted. For the two systems studied, the temperature drop was slightly higher for the eutectic temperature and solidus line compared to that of the pure components. Solubility of CO2 in the liquid phase for pure compounds and DES was estimated and related to deviations from ideality of the mixture at atmospheric pressure. The decrease of the melting point of the eutectic mixtures under CO2 pressure can expand the liquid range of the THEDES enabling new formulations.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
