: In recent years, SLNs and NLCs are among the popular drug delivery systems studied for delivery of lipophilic drugs. Both systems have demonstrated several beneficial properties as an ideal drug-carrier, optimal drug-loading and good long-term stability. NLCs are getting popular due to their stability advantages and possibility to load various oil components either as an active or as a matrix. This review screens types of oils used till date in combination with solid lipid to form NLCs. These oils are broadly classified in two categories: Natural oils and Essential oils. NLCs offer range advantages in drug delivery due to the formation of imperfect matrix owing to the presence of oil. The type and percentage of oil used determines optimal drug loading and stability. Literature shows that variety of oils is used in NLCs mainly as matrix, which is from natural origin, triglycerides class. On the other hand, essential oils not only serve as a matrix but as an active. In short, oil is the key ingredient in formation of NLCs, hence needs to be selected wisely as per the performance criteria expected.

In this work, we reported the high ductility of an extruded AZ61 magnesium alloy tube achieved by electropulsing current-assisted tension. The elongation of the alloy reached up to about 45%, which is largely superior to the majority of AZ61 wrought Mg alloys. We found that the hardening capacity of the alloy seemed to slightly increase as the electropulsing frequency increased. Furthermore, electropulsing can arouse the serrated flow phenomenon. Here we proposed an equation describing the correlation between the average amplitude and frequency: Aa = C − 6 × 10−3f, where Aa is the average amplitude, f is the frequency, and C is the constant. In addition, introducing electropulsing current pronouncedly reduced the tendency of twinning, but the twinning fraction seemed to fail depending on the electropulsing frequency. Based on microstructure analysis, we concluded that the outstanding ductility of the studied alloy was mainly due to the combined role of the thermal effects from Joule heating, the athermal effects from electron wind, and the magnetic effects from the electropulsing current. The serrated flow phenomenon occurred along stress–strain curves after electropulsing treatment, and the underlying reasons also were uncovered.
