In this study, Damar Batu (DB) − a novel biomaterial− is evaluated for its potential application in pharmaceutical coating. DB is a whitish to yellowish resin, characterized initially in terms of solubility, acid value, molecular weight (Mw), polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) and glass transition temperature (Tg). Neat plasticized films of DB are investigated for mechanical, water vapor transmission...

The innuence of an elastic component of the rheological properties of the coating suspension on the coating ow in the blade coating process was investigated by numerical methods. The Giesekus model was used as the constitutive equation for the coating uid (coating colour). The system of time-dependent partial diierential equations was solved numerically by dis-cretising the solution with nite d...

the most frequent adverse effects of indomethacin like other nsaids are gastro–intestinal and central nervous system disturbances. extended release or enteric release formulations minimize these symptoms. the objective of this study was to develop an extended release pellet formulation of indomethacin by the centrifugation (rotary fluid bed granulation) or powder layering method. layered, nonpa...

The present work reports the influence of zinc oxide (ZnO) seed layer annealing temperature on structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnO nanorod arrays, synthesized by hydrothermal method assisted by microwave radiation, to be used as UV sensors. The ZnO seed layer was produced using the spin-coating method and several annealing temperatures, ranging from 100 to 500 °C, have been tes...

plants gums, hydrophilic colloids, hydrocolloids, mucilages and hydrophilic polymers are compounds that can produce gel. coating materials which applied on food products increased shelf life of food by affecting water loss, gas exchange, oxidation process and decreasing the food spoilage and affect shelf life of food products. coating material could carry antioxidant, antibacterial and/or other...

The protective performance of a sand particle-modified enamel coating on reinforcing steel bars was evaluated in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Seven percentages of sand particles by weight were investigated: 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 50% and 70%. The phase composition of the enamel coating and sand particles were determined with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) ...

Coating and encapsulation of fine particles with polymer using a supercritical antisolvent (SAS) coating process was investigated in this research. Synthesized submicron silica particles were used as host particles and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), a biodegradable polymer used for controlled release of drugs, was chosen as the coating material. In the SAS coating process a suspension of si...

Arc thermal metal spray coating provides excellent corrosion, erosion and wear resistance to steel substrates. This paper incorporates some results of aluminum coating applied by this method on plain carbon steel. Thereafter, coated panels were exposed to an environment known to form stable corrosion products with aluminum. The coated panels were immersed in Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE...

in order to investigate lentil response to application times and amounts of zinc, an experiment was arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications on farm research of gonbad higher education center during 2008-2009. treatments were application times (before flowering and beginning of pod setting) and application rates (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 liter per hecta...

Phase separated films with controlled porosity were made from ethyl cellulose (EC) and 30% w/w hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC). The molecular weight of EC can be used to modify the mass transfer rate through coatings by effects on microstructure of the film. Processing conditions are, however, affected by the solution rheology, which could influence the film quality when using different molecular...
