Stainless steel powder was coated on mild steel substrate using plasma coating. The porous coating thus obtained was modified using laser irradiation. The oxidation behaviour of the plasma coated as well as laser treated material was studied in air at 1073 K. There was considerable decrease in oxidation rate of mild steel after plasma coating as expected. In addition the oxidation resistance im...

Phase change cooling schemes involving passive heat spreading devices, such as heat pipes and vapor chambers, are widely adopted for thermal management of high heat-flux technologies. In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are fabricated on a 200 lm thick sintered copper powder wick layer using microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique. A physical vapor deposition process is...

Dry particle coating is used to enhance the moisture resistance of ground magnesium powder (primary size 75 Am) by coating its surface with carnuba wax (primary size 15 Am). Coating was done using magnetically assisted impact coating (MAIC), and two high-speed impaction-coating devices, the hybridizer and mechanofusion. The uncoated and coated samples are characterized by scanning electron micr...

The basic principle of liquisolid systems formulation lies in the conversion of the drug in a liquid state into an apparently dry, free-flowing and readily compressible powder by its blending (or spraying) with specific carriers and coating materials. The selection of the most suitable carrier and coating material depends especially on their values of flowable liquid retention potential (Φ), wh...

High-coercive (Nd,Dy)-Fe-B magnets were fabricated via dysprosium coating on Nd-Fe-B powder. The sputtering coating process of Nd–Fe–B powder yielded samples with densities greater than 98%. (Nd,Dy)2Fe14B phases may have effectively penetrated into the boundaries between neighboring Nd2Fe14B grains during the sputtering coating process, thereby forming a (Nd,Dy)2Fe14B phase at the grain boundar...

In industrial use of paint systems a swift processing is crucial. Another very important issue is to improve the quality of the final coating. This report investigates the film formation process of powder coatings, specially the spreading of individual powder particles. The obtained results can be used to understand and control the film formation process. In this way the desired levelling can b...

The aim of this study was to establish a relationship between the mechanical properties of a powder coating, extracted using ultrasonic analyses, and the extent of its curing. This study was necessitated by the fact that most current methods either focus on in-process temperature monitoring or on laboratory analysis of powder samples and not on post-curing characterization of industrial samples...

in this research controlled coating of magnetite (fe3o4) nanoparticles with sio2 was investigated. the fe3o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical co-precipitation and then coated by silica according to stober method. effects of tetra ethyl ortho silicate (teos) concentration and ethanol to teos on the coating thickness were investigated. x-ray powder diffraction, fourier transform infrar...

the most frequent adverse effects of indomethacin like other nsaids are gastro–intestinal and central nervous system disturbances. extended release or enteric release formulations minimize these symptoms. the objective of this study was to develop an extended release pellet formulation of indomethacin by the centrifugation (rotary fluid bed granulation) or powder layering method. layered, nonpa...
