Poly-(alkylcyanoacrylate) ester particles have been used for the preparation of different formulations ranging from ophthalmic delivery systems to cancer chemotherapy carriers in clinic. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize poly-(methyl ethyl cyanoacrylate) (PMECA) particles containing 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA). PMECA particles were prepared using the inverse emulsification...

in this study, aluminium2024- graphite composites containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 weight percent of graphite were produced by solid assisted melt disintegration (samd) technique which resulted in production of al/gr powder mixtures which subsequently consolidated and sintered for preparation of al/gr composites. in this technique, powder mixture was prepared by addition of flake graphite (mean diam...

soft-sphere discrete element method (dem) and navier-stokes equations were coupled with equations of energy for gas and solids to investigate the process of agglomeration in fluidized bed of polyethylene particles at high temperature. the newton’s second law of motion was adapted for translational and rotational motion of particles and agglomerates. the cohesive force for polyethylene particles...

Friction stir processing (FSP) was used for the fabrication of Al-B4C surface composite. Al-Mg-Si alloy was considered as the substrate and B4C particles were incorporated into the substrate by thermo-mechanical effect of FSP. The effect of tool dimensions and different rotational speeds on the microstructure and microhardness of the composite layers was evaluated and the optimum process parame...

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) photosensitizers were successfully formed on the mesoporous titania films using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method in five cycles, and the effects of particles size distribution and their occupied surface area on the morphology, topography, optical property, and photovoltaic performance were investigated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) im...

Time resolved laser induced incandescence (LII) technique is used to measure size distribution of soot nanoparticles of candle's flame. Pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used to heat nanoparticles to incandescence temperature and the resulting signal is measured. Mass and energy balance equations are numerically solved to calculate temperature of soot particles in low fluence regime. Assuming Plank black ...

the effects of electronic properties of inner and outer surfaces of carbon nano tubes (cnts) on the deactivation of cobalt fischer-tropsch (ft) catalysts were studied. the comparative characterization of the fresh and used catalysts by tem, xrd, tpr, bet and h2 chemisorption showed that cobalt re-oxidation, cobalt-support interactions and sintering are the main sources of catalyst deactivation....
