B. Panic, Department of Metallurgy, Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland The results of experimental investigations concerning radial distribution of powder accumulation in bed and static pressure were presented in this paper. To realize this research physical model of gas-po wder two phase fl ow with descending bed was projected and constructed. Amounts of “dynamic” and “static”...

Pulmonary drug delivery is currently the focus of accelerated research and development because of the potential to produce maximum therapeutic benefit to patients by directly targeting drug to the site of pathology in the lungs. Among the available delivery options, the dry powder inhaler (DPI) is the preferred device for the treatment of an increasingly diverse range of diseases. However, beca...

The intensive production of various biomedical composites made from different biomaterials showed a huge volume of information on properties of composite materials for appropriate research field. The matrix of composite materials is very important but the reinforcement materials known as fillers play an important role for the final properties of biomedical composites like mechanical properties ...

Moreover, total global milk production in 2013 was lower than in 2012 due to the drought in New Zealand (14% lower), the mediocre quality of the available roughage in EU (2% lower), and bad weather conditions in Australia (8% lower) and Argentina (7% lower). As a result of this supply side shock, sales prices remained high during the second half of 2013. On the demand side, particularly the dem...

Selective electron beam melting (SEBM) is a relatively new additive manufacturing technology for metallic materials. Specific to this technology is the sintering of the metal powder prior to the melting process. The sintering process has disadvantages for post-processing. The post-processing of parts produced by SEBM typically involves the removal of semi-sintered powder through the use of a po...

This chapter presents the use of the additive manufacturing (AM) method powderbinder-jetting (PBJ) for the generation of molds and cores for casting applications. Theoretical information on process steps and the binding of particles is given. For the based chemistry, examples are presented and the transfer from conventional produc‐ tion processes to powder-binder-jetting is explained. For sand ...

Issues concerning powder consolidation methods compatible with the colloidal approach and issues associated with other powder processing steps, viz., den-sification and microstructural control, are presented with regard to research directions leading to more reliable ceramics. 1. Introduction With their multiplicity of elemental combinations and crystal structures, ceramics exhibit unique prope...

Surimi refers to concentrated myofibrial protein extracted from fish flesh by washing process. Surimi powder, is normally prepared in a dried form, and potentially useful as a raw material for preparation of seafood products. Surimi powder offers many advantages in industrial application, such as easy handling, low distribution cost, and physically convenient for addition to dry mixtures. In or...
