Pulmonary inhalation chemotherapeutic drug delivery offers many advantages for lung cancer patients in comparison to conventional systemic chemotherapy. Inhalable particles are advantageous in their ability to deliver drug deep in the lung by utilizing optimally sized particles and higher local drug dose delivery. In this work, spray-dried and co-spray dried inhalable lung surfactant-mimic PEGy...

Abstract This perspective paper summarizes the authors’ view on how process diagnostics and control can help to gain a deeper insight into thermal spray processes better understand underlying mechanisms. The current situation in terms of available strategies suitable sensors is described. In perspective, it assumed that with models, machine learning tools, will be possible perform smaller numbe...

In the present paper, a complete literatures review of thermal barrier coating applications in diesel engines is performed to select a proper type and to find coating effects. The coating system has effects on the fuel consumption, the power and the combustion efficiency, pollution contents and the fatigue lifetime of engine components. Usually there are several beneficial influences by appl...

The efficiency of internal combustion engines is gaining increased interest due to the impact fuel consumption on greenhouse gas emissions and goals countries minimize emissions. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have shown great potential in improving engines. TBCs, applied surface piston, apart from thermal isolation, should also follow temperature variations chamber, reducing energy loss not a...

Porous carbon spheres with unique structures and morphologies are prepared from energetic carbon precursors, alkali propiolates, via ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Aerosolized liquid droplets containing alkali propiolates act as microreactors that confine the thermal decomposition of energetic precursors and lead to the formation of several unprecedented carbon morphologies.
