To study the effect of hydrophobic modification of the emulsifier on the relationship between emulsion stability and polymer emulsifier concentration, silicone oil emulsions were prepared using by hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (original HPMC) and HPMC stearoxy ether (hydrophobic HPMC) at concentrations around their overlap concentrations. Both HPMC types completely emulsified the silicone oil. However, the volume fraction of silicone oil in the emulsion prepared using hydrophobic HPMC was less...

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe disease, leading to death if not treated quickly. An emergency medicine is necessary for ALI therapy. Dimethyl silicone (DMS) is an effective agent to defoam the bubbles in the lung induced by ALI.
