nanosized metal oxides dispersed polymer composites constitute a fascinating class of polymer composite materials. synthesis of such composite materials through solvent casting enhances the polymer synthetic technology. solvent casting method was used to prepare cobalt oxide (co3o4) dispersed poly (methyl methacrylate) (pmma) nano composite. x-ray diffraction tool is used to know the structural...

In this work, polyvinylchloride (PVC) membrane prepared via casting solution technique and phase inversion method. N, N dimethylacetamide (DMAC) was used as primary solvent and Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used as a co-solvent. The effects of parameters such as membrane thickness, evaporation time of casting film before immersion precipitation and addition of polyethylenglchol (PEG) on PVC membran...

The purpose of the present investigation is to assess the influence of casting solvent on crystallinity of ondansetron hydrochloride in transdermal polymeric matrix films fabricated using povidone and ethyl cellulose as matrix forming polymers. Various casting solvents like chloroform (CHL), dichloromethane (DCM), methanol (MET); and mixture of chloroform and ethanol (C-ETH) were used for fabri...

introduction: as the ability to repair cartilage tissue in body is limited, finding a suitable method for cartilage regeneration has gained the attention of many scholars. for this purpose, scaffold structure and morphology, along with cell culture on it, can be a novel method to treat cartilage injuries, osteoarthritis. methods: in this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (phb) is selected as the scaff...

The controlled preparation of different crystal morphologies with varying preferential orientation with respect to the substrate is of crucial importance in many fields of applications. In this work, the controlled preparation of different phenytoin morphologies and the dependency of the preferential orientation of those crystallites is related with the preparation method (solvent annealing vs ...

A soft lithographic method is described for casting functional thermoplastic devices with microscale features without the need for specialized tools or equipment. In the thermoplastic soft lithography process, termed solvent casting, low temperature supersaturated solutions of thermoplastic are poured over solvent permeable PDMS molds which allow omnidirectional solvent removal as they template...

A semi-empirical study into the effects of residual casting solvent on the lithographic properties of photoresist is described. Solvent content of a commercial i-line photoresist after post apply bake has been measured using a quartz crystal microbalance and using radio-labeled solvent with scintillation counting. Analysis of this data has led to a calibrated model of solvent diffusivity as a f...

Oral mucosa is an attractive region for the local and systemic application of many drugs. Oral mucoadhesive films are preferred for their prolonged time of residence, the improved bioavailability of the drug they contain, their painless application, their protection against lesions, and their nonirritating properties. This work was focused on preparation of nonmedicated carmellose-based films u...
