O-5: Preparation of Multi-Component Drug Delivery Systems

Background: Despite global interest, the development of single step processes for the preparation of effective drug delivery systems still faces numerous challenges. There is great demand for processing methods that are efficient, flexible, scalable and economical for the generation of wide range of encapsulated structures. Over the past few decades, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) processing has rec...

Polymer Rheology

This chapter concerns the flow behaviour of polymeric liquids. This is a short introduction to the variety of behaviour observed in these complex fluids. It is addressed at the level of a graduate student, who has had exposure to basic fluid mechanics. The contents provide only a broad overview and some simple physical explanations to explain the phenomena. For detailed study and applications t...

Multiscale modeling of polymer rheology.

We propose a simulation method which can be used to readily parallelize simulations on systems with a large spatial extent. We simulate small parts of the system with independent molecular dynamics simulations, and only occasionally pass information between them through a constitutive model free continuum approach. We illustrate the power of this method in the case of a polymeric fluid undergoi...
