Magnetically and thermally responsive nanoparticles for biomedical applications.
(2013)
The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles which respond to alternating magnetic fields by Brownian and Neel relaxation mechanisms are of great interest in determining mechanical properties of complex fluids in the size scale ...
Electrical characterization of sulfonated poly(styrene-isobutylene-styrene) triblock copolymer thin films
(2015-05)
Polymers are a fundamental part of electronic systems and are widely used due to their low cost, ease of processing, and their wide range of mechanical and electrical properties. They have traditionally been used as passive ...
Characterization of solid dispersions of hydroxypropyl cellulose films with griseofulvin via hot-melt extrusion
(2012)
Hot-melt extrusion has gained significance in the pharmaceutical industry to formulate solid dispersions. In a solid dispersion, poorly-water soluble drugs can be dispersed in an inert hydrophilic polymer matrix, improving ...
Blend uniformity and powder phenomena inside the continuous tumble mixer using experiments and DEM simulations
(2014)
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 ...
Particle flow promoted by external forces in a confined space – feed frame case
(2014)
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. ...
Bifunctional catalysts with improved hydrothermal stability for the hydrolytic hydrogenation of cellulose into polyols
(2014)
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 ...
Enhanced potentiation of anticancer drugs using magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH): In vitro and in vivo studies
(2014)
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 ...
Novel synthesis and characterization of supported bimetallic films for hydrogen detection
(2014)
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 ...
Rheology of rodlike nanoparticle suspensions in lyotropic liquid crystalline polymers
(2013)
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 ...
Porous carbon-faujasite composites containing transition metals for aqueous phase adsorption applications
(2014)
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 ...
