In chemical processes, including extraction, reaction, or heterogeneous catalysis, colloids are required in some specific steps of the processes, in which maximum contact area between immiscible phases or reactants is desired.

These surfactants are mainly cationic and can be activated by the protonation of a nitrogen-containing group upon sparging CO₂ gas. Also, CO₂-switchable superamphiphiles can be formed by non-covalent bonding between components at least one of which is CO₂-switchable.

Here, the use of inorganic nanoparticles (INPs) for inhalable diagnostics and therapies of the lung is viewed through the prism of the history of studies on the interaction of INPs with the lower respiratory tract. The most conceptually and methodologically innovative and illuminative studies are referred to in the chronological order, as they were reported in the literature, and the trends in the progress of understanding this interaction of immense therapeutic and toxicological significance are being deduced from it. The most outstanding actual trends delineated include the diminishment of toxicity via surface functionalization, cell targeting, tagging and tracking via controlled binding and uptake, hybrid INP treatments, magnetic guidance, combined drug and gene delivery, use as adjuvants in inhalable vaccines, and other. Many of the understudied research directions, which have been accomplished by the nanostructured organic polymers in the pulmonary niche, are discussed. The progress in the use of INPs as inhalable diagnostics or therapeutics has been hampered by their well-recognized inflammatory potential and toxicity in the respiratory tract. However, the annual numbers of methodologically innovative studies have been on the rise throughout the past two decades, suggesting that this is a prolific direction of research, its comparatively poor commercial takings notwithstanding. Still, the lack of consensus on the effects of many INP compositions at low but therapeutically effective doses, the plethora of contradictory reports on ostensibly identical chemical compositions and NP properties, and the many cases of antagonism in combinatorial NP treatments imply that the rational design of inhalable medical devices based on INPs must rely on qualitative principles for the most part and embrace a partially stochastic approach as well. At the same time, the fact that the most studied INPs for pulmonary applications have been those with some of the thickest records of pulmonary toxicity, <em>e.g.</em>, carbon, silver, gold, silica and iron oxide, is a silent call for the expansion of the search for new inorganic compositions for use in inhalable therapies to new territories.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"315 ","pages":"Article 102903"},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"1740029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relative increase of surface area over bulk when particle size is reduced renders particles in the colloid (10–100 nm) and nano (1–10 nm) ranges extraordinary properties. Asymmetric particle shapes are characterized by sphericity and represented by equivalent spheres. The average diameter of particle size classes (size ranges) of powders are dependent on two experimentally determined properties. Average particle sizes (median, mean and mode) for each size class are extracted from size distributions of powders. Mono-, di- and trimodal particle packing efficiency is expressed as volume fractions and inverted volume fractions of close-packed hard spheres and related to standard cubic, orthoromic, tetragonal-sphenoidal and rombohedral-hexagonal packing properties. Simple models are presented to reveal the relative influence of fine, medium, and coarse particles and their ratios on powder properties. Experimental challenges relate to the influence of test compartment size and shape on particle layering and of particle shape on packing density. Particle asymmetry induces preferential aggregation through bond and site percolation resulting in dense closed or loose open cluster structures relating to particle segregation. Clusters may be characterized by structural fractals while textural fractals identify the particles involved. A modified Flory-Huggins lattice model for macromolecular solutions enables determination of combinatory entropy for cluster formation. A model is presented which relates time dependent volume fraction to logarithmic time dependence of compaction. This review concerns mixing of dry particles which corresponds to molecular processes at the gaseous (continuum, vacuum) reference state.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"315 ","pages":"Article 102887"},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"1892317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All determined results are strongly influenced by the accuracy of the particle (grain) size, scale effect, the atmosphere, etc. This leads to the fact that the errors are still huge regardless of the determination method used, and it is difficult to achieve uniformity of the data.
