Colloid and Advanced Materials - CAM group, Minia University

The Colloid and Advanced Materials (CAM) research group at the Department of Chemistry, Minia Univer We occupy two laboratories in the Department of Chemistry.

The Colloid and Advanced Materials (CAM) group at the Department of Chemistry, Minia University is concerned with the colloid chemistry of a wide range of systems, particularly those associated with the applications of nanotechnology and advanced materials in various areas. Fundamental research will help in generating new data on the surface and interfacial properties of surfactants and colloids t

Encapsulation of folic acid (vitamin B9) into sporopollenin microcapsules: Physico-chemical characterisation, in vitro controlled release and photoprotection study

Our recent publication from our CAM group is published in Materials Science and Engineering: C ( Impact Factor 7.4 Q1) Amro Dyab Ahmed Ibrahim Fouad Taha Al-Shymaa Yusuf. We would like to appreciate the assistance we received from Prof Hisham Ahmed the HOD of chemistry and Prof. Mahmoud Omar at Faculty of Pharmacy, Minia University.

Encapsulation of folic acid (vitamin B9) into sporopollenin microcapsules: Physico-chemical characterisation, in vitro controlled release and photoprotection study Folic acid (FA) is a crucial vitamin for all living creatures. However, it is susceptible to degradation under pH, heat, ultraviolet (UV) and day sunl…

Sustained In Vitro and In Vivo Delivery of Metformin from Plant Pollen-Derived Composite Microcapsules

11/07/2021

Our recent publication just published in the Pharmaceutics journal (Impact Factor 6.4 Q1) in collaboration work with Dr Noha Meligi at Zoology Department, Minia University, Amro Dyab and Prof. Vesselin Paunov, Chair of Chemistry Department at Nazarbayev University.

Sustained In Vitro and In Vivo Delivery of Metformin from Plant Pollen-Derived Composite Microcapsules We developed a dual microencapsulation platform for the type 2 diabetes drug metformin (MTF), which is aimed to increase its bioavailability. We report the use of Lycopodium clavatum sporopollenin (LCS), derived from their natural spores, and raw Phoenix dactylifera L. (date palm) pollens (DPP) for....
