Nanorods hydroxyapatite, (HAP) Ca(10)(PO(4))(6)(OH)(2) is successfully prepared by water in oil microemulsion using, CaCL(2) and H(3)PO(4) (water phase), poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSSS) as template and cyclohexane as oil phase. The nano-structure of the product was studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transmission infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), scanning electron microsco...

Palm kernel shell is an important bioenergy resource in Thailand. However, due to elevated alkali content in biomass ash, this oil palm residue shows high tendency to bed agglomeration in a fluidized-bed combustion system using conventional bed material (silica sand). In this study, palm kernel shell was burned in the conical fluidized-bed combustor (FBC) using alumina and dolomite as alternati...

In the production of tablets, direct compression method is mostly used. comparison to traditional wet granulation approach, this cannot be used with sensitive pharmaceuticals and also has a lot more processing limitations. Spherical agglomeration novel for creating pharmaceutical dosage forms that are immediately compressible, process spherical agglomeration, which improves powder's qualities s...

Optical traps are commonly constructed with high-numerical-aperture objectives. Oil-immersion objectives suffer from spherical aberrations when used for imaging in aqueous solutions. The effect of spherical aberrations on trapping strength has been modeled by approximation, and only a few experimental results are available in the case of micrometer-sized particles. We present an experimental st...

A target of best dissolution improvement of poorly soluble drugs is a necessity for the success of formulation in industry. The present work describes the preparation, optimization, and evaluation of a new spherical agglomeration technique for glimepiride as a model of poorly soluble drugs. It involved the emulsification of a drug solution containing a dispersed carrier that tailors the crystal...

Colloidosomes are hollow capsules whose walls are composed of densely packed colloidal particles. Colloidosomes are typically prepared by creating particle-covered water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion droplets. These particle shells in the oil phase are subsequently transferred into an aqueous phase to generate the colloidosomes. We recently reported a new approach to fabricate monodisperse colloidosome...

The compression properties and electrical conductivity of in-situ 20 vol.% nano-sized TiCx/Cu composites fabricated via combustion synthesis and hot press in Cu-Ti-CNTs system at various particles size and morphology were investigated. Cubic-TiCx/Cu composite had higher ultimate compression strength (σUCS), yield strength (σ0.2), and electric conductivity, compared with those of spherical-TiCx/...
