in this study the characteristics of two different kinds of la0.6sr0.4co0.2fe0.8o3 (lscf) powders, one in-house synthesized powder by a co-precipitation method and another one purchased from fuel cell materials co. (fcm co., usa), were compared. the co-precipitated powder was prepared by using ammonium carbonate as precipitant with a nh4+/no3- molar ratio of 2 and calcination at 1000c for 1 h....

The influence of polymeric dispersants containing different functional groups on TiO2 pigment particle suspension was investigated at pH 6.0 and 9.5, using rheology and particle size data. The dispersants chosen were polyacrylic acid and modified polyacrylamides including homo and copolymers modified with carboxylate and/or hydroxyl groups. The pigment suspension was strongly affected by both p...

the effect of addition of qodumeh shahri (lepidium perfoliatum) seed gum on the emulsion properties were investigated in this study. l. perfoliatum seed gum with 0-0.6% (w/w) concentration was used together with 2% (w/w) wpc to emulsify 20% (w/w) corn oil. the emulsion was analyzed for emulsion stability, particle size, specific surface area, particle size distribution and rheological propertie...

Dissolution pressure and nozzle temperature effects on particle size and distribution were investigated for RESS (Rapid Expansion of Supercritical Solution) process. Supercritical CO2 was used as solvent and Ibuprofen was applied as the model component in all runs. The resulting Ibuprofen nano-particles (about 50 nm in optimized runs) were analyzed by SEM and laser diffraction pa...

tricalcium phosphate as hydroxyapatite is used as a suspension stabilizer in styrene polymerization process. particle size of tcp plays an essential role in the particles’ size distribution and geometrical form of polystyrene products. as the particle size of tcp is reduced, there will be much better chance to engulf the styrene particles. the higher the number of tcp particles surrounding each...

. eight holstein cows in early lactating stage were used in a 4×4 change-over design within 4 periods of 21-d to determine the effects of alfalfa hay particle size and soybean oil supplementation on intake, digestibility, ruminal and blood metabolites, chewing activity, milk yield and compositions. four total mixed rations containing 20, 20 and 60% corn silage, alfalfa hay and concentrate respe...

in this study, a manganite sample with a nominal formula of la0.9sr0.1mno3 was prepared by the microwave assisted sol-gel method and annealing at various temperatures. the structural and magnetic properties of the samples were investigated by xrd, fesem and ac susceptometer, respectively. xrd analysis showed that the samples are a nearly single phase. fesem micrographs showed that by increasing...

in order to ensure the safety of parenterals, international pharmacopoeias and national standards have set up stringent guidelines and standards. particulate con- tamination is a potential health risk caused by intravenous injection of particles large enough to potentially clog the small arteries. particles could be produced through manufacturing and packaging or even dispensing of the pharmace...
