The peak particle size and expanded uncertainties (95 % confidence interval) for two new particle calibration standards are measured as 101.8 nm ± 1.1 nm and 60.39 nm ± 0.63 nm. The particle samples are polystyrene spheres suspended in filtered, deionized water at a mass fraction of about 0.5 %. The size distribution measurements of aerosolized particles are made using a differential mobility a...

biodegradable nanoparticulate carriers, have important potential applications for administration of therapeutic molecules. chitosan based nanoparticles have attracted a lot of attention upon their biological properties such as biodegradability, biocom-patibility and bioadhesivity. the aim of the present investigation was to describe the synthesis and characterization of novel biodegradable nano...

CONTEXT Polymeric carrier systems of paclitaxel (PCT) offer advantages over only available formulation Taxol® in terms of enhancing therapeutic efficacy and eliminating adverse effects. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to prepare poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles containing PCT using emulsion solvent evaporation technique. METHODS Critical factors involved in the ...

Aging of precipitation hardened alloys results in particle coarsening, which in turn affects the strength. In this study, the effect of particle size distribution on the strength of precipitation-hardened alloys was considered. To better represent real alloys, the particle radii were distributed using the Wagner and Lifshitz and Slyozov (WLS) particle size distribution theory. The dislocation m...

an attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of particle size distribution on coal flotation kinetics. the effect of particle size (ps) on kinetics constant (k) and maximum theoretical flotation recovery (ri) was investigated while other operational parameters were kept constant. the relationship between flotation kinetics constant and theoretical flotation recovery with par...

Micronization of minocycline hydrochloride dissolved in ethanol and with supercritical carbon dioxide as antisolvent was successfully performed using a recently built SAS apparatus. Amorphous particles of minocycline ranging from 100 to 1000 nm (depending on the operating conditions) were obtained. The mean particle size and the particle size distribution were determined by Dynamic Light Scatte...

The ability to estimate mean particle size using simple, low-power optical instruments promises to greatly expand coverage of particle size measurements in the ocean and advance understanding of myriad processes from sediment transport to biological carbon sequestration. Here we present a method for estimating the mean diameter of particles in suspension from high-resolution time series of simp...
