Course detail

Colloidal transport systems

FCH-MCO_KTSAcad. year: 2009/2010

Colloidal systems for transport of active substances in nature or applied technologies. Function of these systems, control possibilities of transport of active substances and the dependence on conditions. Concrete examples of systems based on humic acids and hyaluronic acid. Possibilities of preparation of colloidal transport systems.

Characteristic of transport phenomena: basic quantities, methods of study, balance of physical properties. Momentum trasfer: basic equations, momentum balance, laminar flow of isotropis viscous liquid, initial and boundary conditions. Mass transfer: basic equations, n-component continuum, balance of basic quantities, initial and boundary conditions. Molecular mass transport: concentration diffusion, thermodiffusion, barodiffusion. Convection. Transport through cellular membrane. Application of theory of transport phenomena on real systems in nature and applied technologies: Examples of systems based on humic and hyaluronic acids, their main aspects, function od preparation possibilities. Humic acids as transport system for plant nutrition. Hyaluronic acid as transport system in biomedical applications.
