Functionalization of inhalable particles by fluidized bed processing
(2008)
This work focused initially on the size reduction of naproxen sodium to less than 5 µm for inhalation applications. The second objective was the adhesion of naproxen sodium particles to micronized lactose particles with ...
Modeling of TNT transport from landmines
(2008)
The transport of Explosive Related Compounds (ERCs) has been studied as part of a research program aiming to the development of chemical sensors for detecting landmines. TNT and its degradation products typically make up ...
Magnetorheology in rotating magnetic fields
(2007)
We studied the flow of ferrofluid induced by rotating magnetic fileds. This flow was observed for first time in fi96F by Moskowitz and Rosensweig [App1. Ph4s. Gett., 10, pag. 3Ofi (fi96F)] and since then researchers has ...
Single particle dynamics around the boundaries of nematic media
(2018-10-31)
Brownian motion of a colloid suspended in a lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal (LCLC's) leads to the description of the transport properties of the medium through a unification of theories where the confinement effect is ...
Rheological characterization of pharmaceutical gel formulations
(2010)
The aim of this research work was to study the rheological properties of an industrially relevant gelatin-based pharmaceutical formulation, since the rheology of the product provides
information regarding the structure ...
CO2 adsorption in nickel based metal organic framework Ni-DABCO: A density functional theory and grand canonical Monte Carlo study
(2018-12-07)
The continuous emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2), are
generating concerns over the negative effects they are having on the planet. The main goal of this
project is to understand the adsorption ...
Effect of protic and aprotic polar solvents on the heterogeneous catalytic conversion of hexoses
(2018-12-12)
We studied the synthesis, the characterization and the solvent effect on the catalytic performance of materials with Brønsted or Lewis acidity on the hexose conversion towards value-added molecules such as 5-(hydroxymeth ...
Dynamics and rheology of Janus drops
(2015)
This dissertation sheds some light on the dynamics and rheological properties of compound multiphase drops in the creeping motion limit of the fluid phases from a fundamental standpoint. A compound multiphase drop can ...
Improved binary and ternary nanostructured photocatalysts for gas phase detoxification of toluene
(2005)
Photocatalysis using nanocrystalline materials with enhanced catalytic properties under ultraviolet (UV) or visible light has the potential for becoming one of the leading processes for the abatement of environmental ...
Effects of the use of ultrasonic waves on biodiesel production in alkaline transesterification of bleached tallow and vegetable oils: Cavitation model
(2004)
Experiments of biodiesel production via methanolysis were performed at methanol/triglyceride molar ratios of 3, 4.5, and 6 and temperatures of 25 ºC, 40 ºC and 60 ºC; the reaction was monitored by HPLC, X-Ray, and GC-MS ...
