Preparation of CaTiO₃ Asymmetric Membranes Using Polyetherimide as Binder Polymer

Formulation and Preparation of Orally Disintegrating Tablets Using Innovative Binder

The present study investigates the use of glyceryl palmitostearate (Precirol ATO 5 – coded PATO) as binder in orally disintegrating tablets (ODT), prepared by melt granulation. PATO has been mentioned in literature for its lipophilic nature and fine powder properties, providing excelent coating and slow release of active drugs, but it can also be used for taste masking purposes, with possible a...

Mitigating thermal runaway of lithium-ion battery by using thermally sensitive polymer blend as cathode binder

Thermally sensitive binder (TSB) is developed as an internal safety mechanism of lithium-ion battery (LIB). The TSB is a polymer blend of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP). Compared with regular PVDF binder, the softening and swelling of TSB are more pronounced when temperature is above 110 8C. With the TSB, the cycling performance ...

Towards green membranes: preparation of cellulose acetate ultrafiltration membranes using methyl lactate as a biosolvent

Synthesis of Calcium Fluoride Ultrafine Particles for the Preparation of Integral Asymmetric Cellulose Acetate/Calcium Fluoride Membranes

The present work reports on the synthesis of cellulose acetate (CA) asymmetric membranes with the incorporation of inorganic fluorides, CaF2 particles. These fillers of polymeric composites can, according to the literature, promote the ordering of the polymer matrix, which can lead to interesting permeation properties. In order to achieve that, fluorite (CaF2 ) fine particles were prepared by a...

Phospholipid membranes as substrates for polymer adsorption.

A largely unsolved problem in soft materials is how surface reconstruction competes with the rate of adsorption. Here, supported phospholipid bilayers of DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) were employed as substrates for the adsorption of a weak polyelectrolyte, polymethacrylic acid, whose time-dependent ratio of charged to uncharged functional groups served to probe the local d...
