A method to measure thermo-mechanical properties of pharmaceutical and polymeric powders was developed The measurements are conducted by characterizing the material's response to applied acoustic waves Measurements were performed using griseofulvin, felodipine and indomethacin as model drugs and polyethylene oxide (MW 200,000, 900,000, 2,000,000 Da) as model polymers. The method employed measures the mechanical Impedance enabled the calculation of the powder theological and thermo-mechanical properties. Measurements attained with this new technique are compared with measurements made using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The new method detects the melting and glass transitions events while providing complementary information to that provided by DSC and DMA (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

A NONIONIC SURFACTANT VESICLE-IN-WATER-IN-OIL (V/W/O) SYSTEM - POTENTIAL USES IN DRUG AND VACCINE DELIVERY
YOSHIOKA, T; SKALKO, N; Gürsel, Mayda; GREGORIADIS, G; FLORENCE, AT (Informa UK Limited, 1995-01-01)
An aqueous dispersion of niosomes (non-ionic surfactant vesicles) emulsified in an external oil phase forms the vesicle-in-water-in-oil (v/w/o) system described in this paper. The properties of the surfactant used to form the vesicles, the surfactant or surfactant mixture used to stabilize the emulsion and the nature of the oil phase can be changed to provide systems of different capacities for drug or antigen and different release characteristics. The same nonionic surfactant is used as the principle amphi...
Concentration-dependent differing actions of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, celecoxib, in distearoyl phosphatidylcholine multilamellar vesicles
Sade, Asli; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Severcan, Feride (Informa UK Limited, 2010-06-01)
The interactions of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, celecoxib, with 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine multilamellar vesicles were studied as a function of temperature and different drug concentrations, using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and turbidity technique at 440 nm. Our studies reveal that celecoxib lowers the main phase-transition temperature and decreases the fluidity of the membranes at all concentrations. Celecoxib induced opposing ef...
The immunological co-adjuvant action of liposomal interleukin-2: The role of mode of localisation of the cytokine and antigen in the vesicles
Gürsel, Mayda (Informa UK Limited, 1998-01-01)
In experiments designed to study the co-adjuvant action of interleukin-2, a model antigen (tetanus toroid) was passively entrapped in, or covalently coupled to multilamellar liposomes in the presence or absence of interleukin-2 (IL-2). When present, IL-2 was either co-entrapped with the toroid, entrapped alone in liposomes with toroid coupled to their surface, or coupled to the surface of liposomes with entrapped toroid. The role of spatial localization of IL-2 within the liposomal structure (vis a vis that...
A numerical method for predicting depth of heat affected zone in EDM process for AISI H13 tool steel
Shabgard, M. R.; Seyedzavvar, M.; Oliaei, S. Nadimi Bavil; Ivanov, A. (2011-07-01)
This study presents a finite element model (FEM) to model temperature distribution for AISI H13 tool steel workpiece in electrical discharge machining (EDM) at different machining parameters (pulse current, pulse on-time, temperature-sensitive material properties, size of heat source, and material flushing efficiency). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) and micro-hardness tests were used to validate accuracy of FEM predictions. Increasing pulse on-time leads to a higher de...
Synthesis of silver nanowires through polyol process
Coşkun, Şahin; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012)
Nanotechnology enabled synthesis of various shapes and morphologies of conventional materials. Nanotubes, nanoparticles, quantum dots and nanowires are the new form of materials. Especially nanowires have gotten great attention due to their unique physical, chemical and optical properties. Superior properties of nanowires are based on their high surface area and two quantum confinement directions. Silver is one of the most conductive metals and it has the highest thermal conductivity. Due to excellent prope...
