Nano sized ZnS and MnS2 were synthesized through a simple wet chemical route. In this Synthesis metal sulfides were used as the starting material and allowed to react with the transition metal source at 60°C for 75 minutes. The products were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Photoluminescence spectra (PL), Raman Spectra, Thermogravimetry analysis Diff...

This section contains details regarding the preparation of catalyst and membranes and further details on the experimental setup (including two photographs of the XRD-CT experimental setup), a comment relating to an artefact present within this XRD-CT, normalised summed intensity changes (as a companion to Figure 2), XRD-CT data focusing on the BCFZ membrane, a diffraction pattern to illustrate ...

Rhombohedral-cubic transformation in Bi2Te3 doped-Pb1-xGexTe alloys is presented. Samples of Bi2Te3 doped Pb1-xGexTe were prepared by powder metallurgy approach. These powder samples were examined by high-temperature XRD and SEM/EDS. A bulk (pressed powder) cylindrical specimen was used for dilatometery characterizations. According to the XRD examinations it seems that upon increasing the tempe...

Mucoadhesive polymeric (HPMC) suspension of Ciprofloxacin was prepared by ultrasonication and optimised with the aim to develop an oral controlled release gastroretentive dosage form. The qualitative analysis of the formulation was performed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). FTIR (400 cm ...

A new composite poly(caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) (PCL:PAA 1:5) scaffold was synthesized via dispersion of PCL particles into a PAA network. Silica microspheres (Si) (2–12 μm) were then prepared by a lyophilized micro-emulsion/sol-gel (Emugel) system using varying weight ratios. The model drug ciprofloxacin (CFX) was used for in situ incorporation into the scaffold. The phys...
