The pharmaceutical industry is in the middle of a major transition regarding manufacturing where continuous operation is a central topic. One of these operations is powder mixing, which could arguably be the principal ...

Pharmaceutical tablets are the most sold and preferred drug solid dosage form due to its many advantages. The feed frame was designed to transfer the powder from the hopper to the tablet press dies as the die disk rotates. ...

The increase in the world’s energy needs has caused a renewed interest in finding green ways to produce fuels. In this work, we present a study of the hydrolytic hydrogenation of cellulose on bifunctional catalysts for the ...

Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of combined hyperthermia and anticancer drug treatments. Challenges related to effective heat transfer have limited its clinical application. The use of magnetic fluids ...

Continuous increase in energy demand and high levels of pollution generated by the existing energy sources have led researchers to explore other clean and renewable alternatives. Hydrogen gas (H2) is an option that has ...

Liquid crystalline polymers are ideal to develop oriented and anisotropic materials. The incorporation of a nanoparticle may improve or add properties to a matrix. Small concentrations of particles smaller than the liquid ...

Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) have emerged in surface water in concentration levels enough to categorize them as “emerging contaminants” due to a lack of efficient wastewater treatment plant removal ...

Electrospinning is a process for generating ultrathin fibers from a polymeric fluid using an electric field. It is relatively easy to implement, but it is itself complex due to the many parameters that govern the formation ...

Nowadays, batch fluid-bed drying is one of the most efficient drying methods for particulate material; but at the same time, it is the most energy consuming operation in the manufacturing of solid dosage forms. To minimize ...

Porous coordination polymers (PCPs) have been of great interest for scientist and engineers due to their potential use in applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, molecular storage, and gas separation via adsorption. ...
