This work explores the use of both spray drying and d-glucosamine HCl (GLU) as a hydrophilic carrier to improve the dissolution rate of piroxicam (PXM) whilst investigating the electrostatic charges associated with the spray drying process. Spray dried PXM:GLU solid dispersions were prepared and characterised (XRPD, DSC, SEM). Dissolution and triboelectric charging were also conducted. The resu...

In this paper, cylindrical metallic cavities used in the processes of dielectric materials heating and drying by microwave energy, are discussed. Their mode tuning behaviour under different loading and excitation conditions has been presented. A short review of techniques used for modelling and analysis purposes as well as the numerical results mostly experimentally verified are given.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect incorporation apple puree and maltodextrin agar sol on sorption properties structure dried gel. different drying methods behaviour aerated gels also observed. with addition 25% 40% concentration or without were prepared dried. foamed gel subjected freeze-drying, air-drying vacuum-drying. (adsorption isotherms, water uptake in time) investigated....

Hybrid aerogels consisting of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and modified few-walled carbon nanotubes (FWCNT) are investigated under cyclic mechanical compression to explore "electrical fatigue". For this purpose the FWCNTs were hydrophilized, thus promoting their aqueous dispersibility to allow FWCNT/CNF hybrid hydrogels, followed by freeze-drying to obtain hybrid aerogels. The optimized compositi...

A new constitutive model for the soil-water retention behaviour of unsaturated soils is proposed, able to reproduce main drying and wetting paths, cyclic its dependence on specific volume. The most significant aspect inclusion evolution, with volume, degree saturation when suction tends zero in paths considering presence entrapped air bubbles. used success drying/wetting cycles two Pearl clay s...

Inhalation delivery of aerosolized antibacterials is preferred over conventional methods of delivery for targeting lung infection. The present study is concerned with the development and characterization of a novel, spray dried, aerosolized, chitosan polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) based microparticles containing antibacterials for the treatment of lung infections.Chitosan polyelectrolyte complex...
