this paper discusses about preparation of biodegradable polymer /clay nanocomposites based on organically modified montmorillonite clay; i.e. cloisite 10a and biodegradable polymer chitosan by solution mixing technique and their characterization. the nanocomposites were successfully prepared and their structures were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), particle size analyzer (beckm...

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...

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 particle size ana...

an attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of particle size distribution on coal flotation kinetics. the effect of particle size (ps) on kinetics constant (k) and maximum theoretical flotation recovery (ri) was investigated while other operational parameters were kept constant. the relationship between flotation kinetics constant and theoretical flotation recovery with par...

a study of the kinetic analysis of total lead from spent car battery ash by hydrochloric acidleaching has been examined. the physico-chemical analysis of the ash powder was carried outby the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (icp-ms) and x–ray diffraction (xrd).the effects of the acid concentration, temperature and particle size on the rate of battery ashdissolution have been investi...
