Perfluorocarbon emulsion enhances MR-ARFI displacement and temperature in vitro: Evaluating the response with MRI, NMR, and hydrophone

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Ryan Holman

Sonosensitive perfluorocarbon F(8)TAC(18)-PFOB emulsion is under development to enhance heating, increase thermal contrast, and reduce treatment times during focused ultrasound tumor ablation of highly perfused tissue. The emulsion previously showed enhanc ...

Fluorinated surfactants in droplet-based microfluidics: Influence of their composition on the properties of emulsion drops

Gianluca Nicolas Etienne

Miniaturization has been a driving force in many areas of science and technology, most notably in the electronics industry. Droplet-based microfluidics, a methode to produce emulsion drops in a controlled way and at high-throughputs, enables the miniaturiz ...

Capsules with submicron shells: production, stability, and leakage behavior

Antoine Claude Jean Vian

Capsules are often employed to prolong the shelf-life of active ingredients such as many drugs, food additives, or cosmetic substances because they delay their oxidation or prevent interactions with molecules contained in the surrounding. If designed prope ...

An advanced methodology for the mix design optimization of hot mix asphalt

André-Gilles Dumont, Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

The bitumen quantity to add to asphalt mixtures depends on the surfaces of aggregates and filler to be coated. The formulas currently available in the literature have limitations such as considering all the fillers with the same specific surface or the agg ...

Advanced methodology for optimization of mixture design of asphalt concrete containing reclaimed asphalt pavement material

Sara Bressi

Despite the massive use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) production, the chemo-physical phenomena that characterise the fabrication of these mixtures have not yet been completely explored. The detection and understanding of thes ...

A framework for characterizing RAP clustering in asphalt concrete mixtures

André-Gilles Dumont, Michel Pittet, Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is commonly used in asphalt for road rehabilitation or new constructions. Nevertheless, some physical and chemical phenomena that occur during production, laying and compaction of mixtures containing RAP are not yet complete ...

A new laboratory methodology for optimization of mixture design of asphalt concrete containing reclaimed asphalt pavement material

André-Gilles Dumont, Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

The reduction of virgin bitumen added to asphalt mixtures containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is based on the typical assumption that all the aged binder function in the same way as the virgin binder. However, recent studies conducted by the author ...

Reducing the shell thickness of double emulsions using microfluidics

Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian

Double emulsion drops are well-suited templates to produce capsules whose dimensions can be conveniently tuned by adjusting those of the drops. To closely control the release kinetics of encapsulants, the composition and thickness of the capsule shell must ...

Asphalt Mixture with RAP: Mix Design Optimization

André-Gilles Dumont, Nicolas Bueche, Michel Pittet, Sara Bressi

The addition of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in hot mix asphalt is now common practice in Switzerland. With the increases of RAP content in asphalt mixture, the problematic of the mix design optimization becomes an important issue to be considered. The ...

Multiscale imaging and characterization of the effect of mixing temperature on asphalt concrete containing recycled components

Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

When producing asphalt concrete mixture with high amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), the mixing temperature plays a significant role in the resulting spatial distribution of the components as well as on the quality of the resulting mixture, in te ...
