The present investigation was focused to formulate semi-solid capsules (SSCs) of hydrophobic drug telmisartan (TLMS) by encapsulating semi-solid matrix of its solid dispersion (SD) in HPMC capsules. The combinational approach was used to reduce the lag time in drug release and improvise its dissolution. SDs of TLMS was prepared using hot fusion method by varying the combinations of Pluronic-F68...

Abstract Multi-axial compression of the mushy zone occurs in various pressurized casting processes. Here, we present a drained triaxial apparatus for semi-solid alloys that allow liquid to be drawn into or expelled from sample response isotropic compression. The rig is used measure pressure-dependent flow stress and volumetric during isothermal globular Al-15 wt pct Cu at 70 85 vol solid. Analy...

Mg alloys have poor formability due to their hexagonal tightly packed (HCP) crystal structure, low active shear system at room temperature, and anisotropic behavior in polycrystalline structure. While this situation hindered the development commercialization of some extent past, today developments machining, liquid forming semi-solid technology removed these obstacles. Semi-solid has been subje...

Two important factors affecting hot tearing – semi-solid constitutive behaviour and grain percolation – have been simulated through the use of microstructure models based on granular structures. The semi-solid model geometry is based on a modified Voronoi tessellation, and includes rounded corners to approximate an equiaxed-globular grain structure with liquid surrounding the grains. The percol...
