A standard acid resistant microsphere pancreatic enzyme preparation was compared with identical capsules half filled with mini-tablets of a new high lipase preparation in a randomised double blind crossover study in children with cystic fibrosis. Each patient received his/her usual number of capsules and the same dose of lipase during each period of the study. Eighteen patients completed the st...

Polyelectrolyte capsules with silver and gold nanoparticles in the shell composition have been obtained using calcium carbonate and polystyrene microparticles as cores. Capsules were modified with silver nanoparticles using silver mirror reaction. Gold nanoparticles were embedded in capsule shells via their adsorption from previously obtained sol. A significant difference in the structure of ca...

The preparation of hybrid hollow capsules consisting of a cross-linked polymer shell and a coating of graphene oxide (GO) is demonstrated. The capsules are prepared by Pickering miniemulsion polymerization, exploiting the surface activity of GO for its use as a colloidal surfactant. This approach represents a simple and convenient route towards hollow carbon nanostructures for a variety of appl...

Capsules are used for filling different materials like Powders, Granules, Beads, Tablets, Capsules, Pastes etc.. Some of the disadvantages associated with conventional capsule: They are easily tampered with (although techniques exist for preventing this). They are subject to the effects of relative humidity and to microbial contamination. Some of the innovations are targeted to:  Overcome the ...

In the future the demand for ethanol is expected to increase greatly due to the rising energy requirements in the world. Lignocellulosic materials are a suitable and potentially cheap feedstock for sustainable production of fuel ethanol, since vast quantities of agricultural and forest residues are available in many countries. However, there are several problems involved in the utilization of l...

The use of capsules in Indonesian society is quite widely used because they only have attractive shapes and colors. Capsules are considered to help patients who do not take medicine the taste good or tends be bitter. In this study, researchers tried make two formulations compare effect differences percentage PVP on results physical preparation evaluation test amoxicillin capsules. tests carried...

While structurally complex benthic egg capsules can lower the vulnerability of gastropod embryos to a variety of environmental risks, including predation, desiccation, osmotic shock, and bacterial attack, little is known about their ability to shield embryos from ultraviolet radiation (UV) I examined the exposure of benthic egg capsules of the marine intertidal gastropod Nucella emarginata to s...

Hollow permeable polysiloxane capsules with diameters between 180 and 210 nm were firstly fabricated by consecutively cocondensed methyltrimethoxysilane and dimethyldimethoxysilane monomers onto polydimethylsiloxane and subsequently removing the templated polydimethylsiloxane by exposure to solvents. The morphology of the polymer particles was demonstrated by transmission electron micrographs (...
