Porous NiTi with an average porosity of 55 vol % and a general pore size of 100-600 microm was synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) with the addition of mechanically alloyed nanocrystalline Ni-Ti as the reaction agent. The SHS of porous NiTi using elemental powders was also performed for comparison. To enhance the bioactivity of the metal surface, porous NiTi synthes...

We present a dip-coatable, high-capacitance ion gel dielectric for scalable fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) devices such as an n × n liquid prism array. Due to the formation of a nanometer-thick electric double layer (EDL) capacitor, an ion gel dielectric offers two to three orders higher specific capacitance (c ≈ 10 μF/cm²) than that of conventional di...

The aim of this study was to develop a dry powder coating process for chlorpheniramine maleate (CPM) tablets using Eudragit L 100-55 as the delayed release polymer. Powder coating, a water and organic solvent-free process, was investigated as a method to prevent the migration of an ionizable, highly water soluble model drug into the polymeric film during the coating process. Eudragit L 100-55 w...

Numerical modeling of a complete powder coating process is carried out to understand the gas-particle two-phase flow field inside a powder coating booth and results of the numerical simulations are compared with experimental data to validate the numerical results. The flow inside the coating booth is modeled as a three-dimensional turbulent continuous gas flow with solid powder particles as a d...

the research mainly intends to evaluate performance of strontium aluminum polyphosphate as an eco friendly zinc free anticorrosion pigment in formulation of the protective primer based on epoxy resin. comparing to zinc phosphate, the most effective content of the modified pigment was determined through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. according to pull-off, the superior sapp incorporated...
