Aerosol solvent extraction system (ASES) was used to prepare micro-particle of acetaminophen by supercritical carbon dioxide as an anti-solvent. Experiment was carried out at various temperatures, pressures, solvents and investigated the effects of these parameters on particle size, size distribution and morphology by SEM and laser diffraction particle size analyzer. It seems that the choice of...

Spin-coating of chalcogenide glass is a low-cost, scalable method to create optical grade thin films, which are ideal for visible and infrared applications. In this paper, we study the influence of annealing on optical parameters of As(2)S(3) films by examining UV-visible and infrared spectroscopy and correlating the results to changes in the physical properties associated with solvent removal....

The results of the quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) analysis of 45 different solvent scales and 350 solvents using the CODESSA program are presented. The QSPR models for each of the scales are constructed using only theoretical descriptors. The high quality of the models (32 of the 45 give R2 > 0.90, only two have R2 < 0.82) enables direct calculation of predicted values for ...

Chapter abstract: Subcritical water extraction (SWE) is presented in this chapter as a potent and novel alternative to conventional solvent extraction processes for isolating bioactive components from algae. SWE is defined as the extraction with water at temperatures ranging from the boiling point to the critical point and at pressures high enough to keep the water in the liquid state throughou...

Adsorption of weakly charged polyelectrolyte (PE) chains from dilute solution on an oppositely charged surface is studied using the self-consistent mean-field approach. The structure of the adsorbed polymer layer and its excess charge are analyzed in the most important asymptotic and intermediate regimes both analytically and numerically. Different regimes of surface charge compensation by PE c...

One-dimensional (1D) zigzag [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) nanoribbons are produced by folding two-dimensional ultrathin PCBM nanosheets in a simple solvent process. The unique 1D PCBM nanostructures exhibit uniform width of 3.8 ± 0.3 nm, equivalent to four PCBM molecules, and lengths of 20-400 nm. These nanoribbons show well-defined crystalline structure, comprising PCBM mol...

The present study deals with experiments so as to highlight the solute (drug albendazole) – solvent ( water) interactions and related thermodynamic modifications in presence of the hydrotropic agent nicotinamide at different temperatures T (= 298.15 to 313.15)K. Density and conductivity values of albendazole have been determined in water in (0.08 to 0.98) mol dm-3 aqueous solutions of nicotinam...

      An oral suspension could a suitable dosage form for the geriatric patients. The calcium alginate coated ion exchange resinate of propranolol hydrochloride were prepared using Amberlite IR-120 by solvent evaporation. Microcapsules of propranolol hydrochloride resinate were prepared by solvent evaporation technique,the suspensions were prepared by using deionised water as the vehicle. Methy...

meloxicam is a poorly water soluble non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and antipyretic agent. the aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of different types of carriers on in vitro dissolution of meloxicam. meloxicam solid dispersions were prepared by physical mixing, co-grinding and solvent evaporation methods with polyethylene glycol (peg) 6000. the effect of solubilization by...

this work has setup to determine the effects of a solvent on the structure and properties of polypropylene fibres with different physical structures. samples of continuous filament yarns with different physical structures (partially oriented (poy) and drawn yarns) are treated with decahydronaphthalene (decalin) at 28, 55, 75 and 95oc. at 95oc, the samples are dissolved completely in decalin and...
