Oleic acid: its effects on stratum corneum in relation to (trans) dermal drug delivery

ML Francoeur, GM Golden, RO Potts - Pharmaceutical research, 1990 - Springer
Calorimetric studies with porcine stratum corneum (SC) have shown that the lipid phase
transitions associated with the intercellular bilayers are markedly affected by treatment with oleic …

Lipid biophysics of water loss through the skin.

RO Potts, ML Francoeur - Proceedings of the National …, 1990 - National Acad Sciences
The regulation of water loss through the skin is a poorly understood but crucial process in

Solution of near-field thermal radiation in one-dimensional layered media using dyadic Green's functions and the scattering matrix method

M Francoeur, MP Mengüç, R Vaillon - Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy …, 2009 - Elsevier
A general algorithm is introduced for the analysis of near-field radiative heat transfer in one-dimensional
multi-layered structures. The method is based on the solution of dyadic Green's …

Near-field radiative heat transfer enhancement via surface phonon polaritons coupling in thin films

M Francoeur, MP Mengüç, R Vaillon - Applied Physics Letters, 2008 - pubs.aip.org
We investigate near-field thermal radiation between a nanometric film and a bulk SiC using
fluctuational electrodynamics. Results show a narrow spectral band enhancement of the …

Near-field radiative transfer based thermal rectification using doped silicon

S Basu, M Francoeur - Applied Physics Letters, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
In this letter, we have designed a near-field thermal rectifier using a film and a bulk of doped
silicon, with different doping levels, separated by a vacuum gap. We examine the origin of …
