From: Okra mucilage as an encapsulating agent for magnesium hydroxide nano-capsules in oral drug delivery
EMgPs | Mg(OH)2 | Okra mucilage | |
|---|---|---|---|
Contact angle on water (receding, advancing) | (34.1°, 46.8°) | (36.15°, 40.8°) | (40.8°, 41.1°) |
Contact angle on formamide (receding, advancing) | (68.8°, 69.9°) | (24.5°, 24.6°) | (54.1°, 59.6°) |
Surface energy (dispersion contribution, specific contribution),\(\frac{mN}{m}\) | 78.3 (0, 78.3) | 58.3 (22.4, 35.9) | 63.3 (3.3, 60.1) |
