Three solid-solid and two solid-liquid diffusion couples together with 32 key samples were used to construct the isothermal section of the Mg-Ni-Y system at 673 K. The present investigation revealed 12 ternary intermetallic compounds. Crystal structures of two ternary compounds τ1 (Gd4RhIn prototype with lattice parameter of a = 1.3666 nm) and τ2 (Mo2FeB2 prototype with lattice parameters of a ...

objective(s):solid dispersion formulation is the most promising strategy to improve oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone k30 (pvp) and poloxamer-188 (plx) as carrier in solid dispersion formulations of celecoxib (clx). materials and methods: solid dispersions of clx:pvp or clx:plx were prepared at different r...

     Ibuprofen solid dispersions were prepared by the solvent and fusion-solvent methods using polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), eudragit RS PO, eudragit RL PO and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) as carriers to improve physicochemical characteristics of ibuprofen. The prepared solid dispersions were evaluated for the flowability, solubility characteristics and dissoluti...

The current research was undertaken to develop and evaluate dissolution profiles of thermodynamically stabilized sugar dispersions of the poorly water-soluble, model drug etoricoxib (ETX). Fused-sugar dispersions were formulated using sorbitol, xylitol, and maltose separately, and the binary systems were stabilized by incorporation of the antiplasticizing agents poloxamer 407 and PVP K30 to obt...

In our previous paper [Watano S. et al., J. Powder Technology Japan, 37, 362-370 (2000)], a novel compaction tester was developed to quantitatively evaluate the water dispersion condition of a wet kneaded mass prepared by a paddle type kneader. It has been demonstrated that the physical properties of pellets prepared by extrusion granulation after the kneading can be well predicted by the press...

In the present work, ternary special quasirandom structures SQSs for a fcc solid solution phase are generated at different compositions, xA=xB=xC= 1 3 and xA= 1 2 , xB=xC= 1 4 , whose correlation functions are satisfactorily close to those of a random fcc solution. The generated SQSs are used to calculate the mixing enthalpy of the fcc phase in the Ca-Sr-Yb system. It is observed that first-pri...

cattle manure is made from liquid and solid waste. it contains the straw and stubble that is used for the cattle bed. density of the cattle manure is inherently low, which is difficult and costly to transport. pelleting is one method to solve this problem. the physical properties of the pelleted cattle manure was investigated in this study. the results showed that by increasing moisture content...
