WASHINGTON, D.C., June 6, 2017 -- The solubility of any given substance -- the measure of how well the substance dissolves into another substance referred to as the solvent -- depends on basic ...

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...

What if we didn’t have to understand the chemistry of a substance to measure its solubility? Single Particle Analysis, SPA, is a revolutionary analytical method, which enables the determination of ...

Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the ...

When no more solute can be dissolved in a solvent the solution is said to be saturated. Each different substance has a different solubility. This table shows the solubility of substances in water at ...

If you remember back to the Ye Olde times of your probationary period, you might remember the hazardous materials-operations level training segment. In that class, instructors said a whole bunch of ...

High-concentration injectable formulations present unique challenges. Poor solubility issues are often associated with small-molecule APIs formulated for oral administration. Solubility is also ...

The aim of the present study was to increase our understanding of the mechanisms governing release and transfer of substances from articles to skin by studying transfer to surrogate skin (cotton wipe) ...

Despite the importance of predicting solubility, it is not an easy matter. One approach, using 'brute force' simulations, requires long computing times. Other techniques, while faster, fail to predict ...
