A novel method has been proposed to induce rapid upward movement of colloidal particles with a density lower than water by applying an electric field of several V/mm in water. This phenomenon, known as the Electrically Induced Rapid Sedimentation (ERS) effect, marks the first occurrence of ‘rapid upward movement of colloidal particles’ within the scope of this phenomenon. Focusing on hollow particles, an investigation of the ERS effect was conducted through transmittance measurement. The hollow particles in water showed a drastic increase in ascending velocity through the application of an electric field. The ascending velocity raised when increasing the electric field strength. Utilizing a quasi-DC electric field (an extremely low-frequency AC electric field), aggregate structures were captured for the first time.
有人提出了一种新方法,通过在水中施加几伏/毫米的电场,诱导密度低于水的胶体粒子快速上浮。这种现象被称为 "电诱导快速沉降(ERS)效应",标志着 "胶体微粒快速上升运动 "首次出现在这一现象的范围内。研究人员以空心颗粒为重点,通过透射率测量对 ERS 效应进行了研究。通过施加电场,水中的空心颗粒显示出急剧上升的速度。当电场强度增加时,上升速度也随之增加。利用准直流电场(频率极低的交流电场),首次捕捉到了聚集体结构。

The substance fenbendazole is included in the composition of many anthelmintic drugs, in which the “chemical stability” parameter is one of the main characteristics when obtaining permission for the use of drugs in veterinary practice. Fenbendazole is characterized by low solubility in water and therefore the content of the substance is overestimated in its preparations, which increases the cost of the drug as well as the safety risks of pharmacotherapy. The possibilities of mechanochemical modification of fenbendazole were evaluated in order to improve the solubility index. During the mechanical processing treatment of the substance in the presence of polymeric substances, solid dispersions are formed, which have increased solubility and high anthelmintic activity. The inclusion in these dispersions of the third component, which is succinic acid, did not significantly change the solubility of fenbendazole. In all these dispersions, the substance remained unchanged both during the preparation of its solid dispersions and during their storage. When fenbendazole is modified in an organic solvent medium, the substance is partially converted into oxfendazole, which is one of its metabolites. The chemical stability of fenbendazole was confirmed via HPLC/MS and NMR spectroscopy. The anthelmintic activity of these compositions was evaluated and it was found that they have a high nematicidal activity.
