Foamitizer: High ethanol content foams using fatty acid crystalline particles. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 600:882-886. [PMID: 34062345 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.05.076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Aqueous foams are encountered in many commercial products used in our everyday lives and are widely studied. However, the formation and stabilization of foams using high alcohol content (>75%) solvents such as ethanol is still a scientific challenge. Herein, we report for the first-time foams based on high ethanol content showing long-term stability by using natural fatty acid crystals. The platelet-shape crystals are adsorbed at the air-water surface protecting the bubbles against coalescence. The melting of crystals triggers the foam destabilization leading to thermostimulable high ethanol content foams. These foams can be used as a new formulation strategy for alcohol-based hand sanitizers to better clean hands, protect the skin by the presence of fatty acids, and limit the transmission of virus and other pathogens.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study an improved solvent evaporation method to prepare poly (lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres via foam-transfer. Since the foaming process and its transfer were critical to the improved method, they have been studied. Additionally, the delivery capability of foams was studied as a function of the oil/water ratio, the stirring rate, the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and ethanol (EtOH) in the aqueous phase (ωPVA, ωEtOH). It was found that foaming varied during the preparation process and it influenced the properties of PLA microspheres. When the oil/water ratio (w/w) ≥ 3:10, stirring rate ≥ 600 r/min, ωPVA ≥ 1 wt%, and ωEtOH = 0 wt%, solvent evaporation was able to produce enough foams for foam-transfer, which helped to deliver more than 89 wt% PLA microspheres to the receiving vessel. However, ωPVA ≤ 0.3 wt% and ωEtOH = 20 wt% were unfavorable for maintaining the spherical shape of PLA microspheres and caused the aggregation. The methodology was further used to prepare azoxystrobin-loaded PLA microspheres successfully with a high encapsulation efficiency of 86.54%. This work is meaningful since it enables an efficient and continuous route to prepare functional biodegradable polymer microspheres.
