Thermodynamical and optical properties of pure and electron beam irradiated (20, 80 and 100 kGy doses) liquid crystalline material cholesteryl pelargonate (nonanoate) have been investigated by differential scanning calorimeter, polarized light microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Transition temperatures, enthalpies and entropies are found to be lowered due to the irradiation. A dono...

Solid-liquid equilibria for binary mixtures of {Methyl palmitate (1) + Naphthalene (2)} were measured using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Simple eutectic behaviours for this system are observed. The experimental results were correlated by means of the NRTL, Wilson, UNIQUAC and ideal models. The root-mean-square deviations of the solubility temperatures for all measured data vary from...

Plastic pyrolysis is widely studied and implemented at lab-scale but rarely modelled numerically. For the sake of designing efficient industrial reactors, modelling plastic process particle scale could be a prerequisite. Therefore, aim this work to model whole process, on scale, for polypropylene (PP) high density polyethylene (HDPE) inside thermogravimetric analyzer coupled with differential s...

results the results showed that the maximum oil was incorporated in microemulsion system that contained surfactant to cosurfactant ratio of 4:1. the mean droplet size range of microemulsion formulation was in the range of 5.09 to 159 nm, and its refractory index (ri) and ph were 1.44 and 7, respectively. viscosity range was 57-226 cps. drug release profile showed that 48.18% of the drug release...

piroxicam (px), an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility, dissolution and flow properties. thus, the aim of the present study was to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of px by freeze drying technique using dimethylformamide (dmf), chloroform and water as co-solvent system. the prepared crystals containing px were evaluated for dmf and chloroform solvent residual by ga...

the formulation of hydrophobic drugs for oral drug delivery is challenging due to poor solubility, poor dissolution and poor wetting of these drugs. consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of a model poorly water soluble drug, ibuprofen. microparticles containing ibuprofen were produced by spray drying and spray chilling technology in the absence/presence of a hydroph...

piroxicam, an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility and flow properties, poor dissolution and poor wetting. consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of piroxicam. microparticles containing piroxicam were produced by spray drying, using isopropyl alcohol and water in the ratio of 40:60 v/v as solvent system, and spray chilling technology by melting the ...
