A novel in-line technique utilising pulsed terahertz radiation for direct measurement of the film coating thickness of individual tablets during the coating process was previously developed and demonstrated on a production-scale coater. Here, we use this technique to monitor the evolution of tablet film coating thickness and its inter-tablet variability during the coating process under a number...

In this study the bioactivity of hydroxyapatite/poly(ε-caprolactone)–poly(ethylene glycol) bilayer coatings on Nitinol superelastic alloy was investigated. The surface of Nitinol alloy was activated by a thermo-chemical treatment and hydroxyapatite coating was electrodeposited on the alloy, followed by applying the polymer coating. The surface morphology of coatings was studied using FE-SEM and...

composite electrodeposition is a low-cost and low-temperature method, which is used to make metal matrix composite coatings. in this study the surfactant of anionic(sds) and cationic (ctab) is used as additive in composite coating of ni/tin. the results showed that the anionic surfactant caused more particles in the composite coatings. increasing sds concentration to the optimal value leads to ...

Powder particle coating is the most important techni It has constantly being refined and modified since last four decades. There numerous applications of coating, including drug layering, modified release coating, physical and chemical protection, aesthetic purpos identification of drugs. Various coating techniques from conventional pan coating to laser assisted solvent free techniques have bee...

The present era, in particular, the last 3 to 4 decades can be easily named “Plastic Age” and dealing with plastic waste has always been a challenging affair for Urban local bodies. Plastic roads are bituminous or pavement that have blended mix their wearing courses. being sustainable technology becoming very popular nowadays as substitute conventional India other parts of World. Evaluation is ...

In this work, the experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of temperature and sub-bituminous coal on upgrading nickel laterites ores by carbothermic reduction. The reduction was carried out in the muffle furnace at a temperature ranging of 800-1100 o C. The produced calcine from reduction step was grounded in vibrating mill, mixed with water and passed on a magnetic separator to separ...

Analyses of samples of the raw materials locally available for use in the Eaton (Hopewell) Furnace indicate that the iron ore and bituminous coal were of good smelting quality while the limestone (flux) was not. The limestone had a much higher then desirable silica content and a low calcium content. The limestone was insufficient to the task of removing impurities introduced through the fuel co...

to improve the corrosion protection of copper metal, 0.01m concentration of 1h-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (tat) was incorporated into the hybrid sol-gel monolayers containing 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (gptms) and tetraethoxysilane (teos). it was further subjected to hydrolysis and condensation reaction to form a sol-gel matrix. the tat-doped hybrid sol-gel coating was applied over the coppe...

nanosized tio2 particles were prepared by sol–gel method. the tio2 particles were co-deposited with chromium using electrodeposition technique. in investigating of coating surfaces by scanning electron microscope (sem), the results showed that the morphology of the coating surface was changed by adding tio2 nanoparticles to the chromium coating. the corrosion behavior of the coatings was assess...

Slot die coating technology is a function of the coating process, auxiliary system and fundamental technique. The decision to utilize a coating technology needs to be analyzed against these functions to determine best fit. In the era of clean, thin and precise converting operations, a customized coating system is necessary to have a technical edge. Building the system from the material up to th...
