Optimizing the coating process for double-coated, wood-containing papers.

Coating Acetylated Wood

Wood exposed to the outdoor environment is susceptible to weathering due to a series of chemical, biological and physical processes. Acetylation of wood is known to reduce cell wall moisture content, improve dimensional stability and durability against fungal decay. As a result of these improvements, less stress is created between the coating and the wood surface improving the performance of th...

Influence of Film Coating Process Parameters on the Gloss of Tablets Coated with Pigmented Aqueous Film Coating Formulations

Opadry® II 1 Influence of Film Coating Process Parameters on the Gloss of Tablets Coated with Pigmented Aqueous Film Coating Formulations PURPOSE A common practice for enhancing the gloss of coated tablets is the application of a clear top-coat after applying a pigmented coating layer. In a recent study, substantial increases in tablet gloss were achieved using this multiple step approach.1 It ...

Response Surface Methodology for Optimizing Adsorption Process Parameters of Amaranth Removal Using Magnetic Layer Double Hydroxide (Fe3O4/ZnFe-LDH)

ABSTRACT Response surface methodology was employed to optimize the adsorption parameters of Amaranth onto magnetic layer double hydroxide (Fe3O4/ZnFe-LDH). Such optimization was undertaken to ensure a high efficiency over the experimental ranges employed, and to evaluate the interactive effects of the initial concentration of Amaranth, pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature and contact time on...

Characterization and Bone Response of Carbonate-Containing Apatite-Coated Titanium Implants Using an Aqueous Spray Coating

We performed thin carbonate-containing apatite (CA) coating on titanium (Ti) by an aqueous spray coating (ASC) method that consisted of a Ca-CO₃-PO₄ complex. Two different CA coatings were produced by two different spray amounts and were heat-treated after spraying. We evaluated three-dimensional structures, adhesiveness to Ti, and durability of the CA film. In addition, we performed immersion ...
