Abstract
The transport of mucus gel simulant (MGS) in a constricted simulated cough machine, using blood plasma as a serous layer simulant (SLS), was investigated. MGS was prepared from locust bean gum solutions crosslinked with varying amounts of added boratThis publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
