5 null terms

cavity
an empty space within a solid object. "the abdominal cavity"
Example: Capsules ’ cavity can be loaded with a su ffi cient amount of antitumor drugs, thereby the gradual degradation of silicafunctionalized capsules in an intracellular environment will lead to the prolonged release of these drugs.
ru: полость
dense
closely compacted in substance. "as the storm cleared, a dense fog came down"
Example: The SEM images of capsules ( Figure 2 A1 − A3) demonstrate that after sol − gel synthesis, these capsules were fully covered by a dense layer of silica.
ru: плотность
leakage
1. the accidental admission or escape of liquid or gas through a hole or crack. "we're saving water by reducing leakage" 2. deliberate disclosure of confidential information. "suspicion as to the source of the leakage had fallen on a variety of people"
Example: there will be almost no leakage of drugs before their administration and, thus, no significant influence on cell functions might be observed.
ru: утечка
permeability
1. the state or quality of being permeable. "the size of hole needed depends on the permeability of the soil" 2. PHYSICS a quantity measuring the influence of a substance on the magnetic flux in the region it occupies.
Example: Capsules ’ wall can be functionalized with di ff erent nanostructures,41e.g., silica, which can decrease the permeability of capsules42so that there will be almost no leakage of drugs before their administration and, thus, no signi fi cant in fl uence on cell functions might be observed.
ru: проницаемость
transparent
1. (of a material or article) allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen. "transparent blue water" easy to perceive or detect. "the residents will see through any transparent attempt to buy their votes"
Example: According to the TEM images, it can be seen that capsules are not transparent, additionally proving successful deposition of silica shell as previously reported
ru: 1. прозрачный 2. понятный
