The purpose of the present study was to prepare a novel domperidone hydrogel. The domperidone dispersion was prepared by the solvent evaporation method. The characteristics of domperidone dispersion were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometry, and solubility test, respectively. Domperidone hydrogel was prepared by directly incorporating the domperidone dispersion in Carbopol hydrogel to increase its mucoadhesive properties to gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies were investigated to evaluate the relative oral bioavailability and the propulsion efficacy of domperidone hydrogel as compared with market domperidone tablet (Motilium tablet). The particle size of domperidone dispersion in distilled water was 454.0 nm. The results of DSC and X-ray indicated that domperidone in dispersion was in amorphous state. The solubility of domperidone in the dispersion in distilled water, pH of 1, 5, and 7 buffer solution was 45.7-, 63.9-, 13.1-, and 3.7-fold higher than that of raw domperidone, respectively. The area under the plasma concentration curve (AUC0–24) in domperidone hydrogel was 2.2-fold higher than that of tablet. The prolonged propulsion efficacy in the domperidone hydrogel group compared to that in tablet group was observed in the pharmacodynamic test.

Dehydrogenation Mechanism

A detailed analysis of the dehydrogenation mechanism and reversibility of LiBH4 doped by as-derived Al (denoted Al*) from AlH3 was performed by thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mass spectral analysis (MS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that the dehydrogenation of LiBH4/Al* is a five-step reaction: (1) LiBH4 + Al → LiH + AlB2 + “Li-Al-B-H” + B2H6 + H2; (2) the decomposition of “Li-Al-B-H” compounds liberating H2; (3) 2LiBH4 + Al → 2LiH + AlB2 + 3H2; (4) LiBH4 → LiH + B + 3/2H2; and (5) LiH + Al → LiAl + 1/2H2. Furthermore, the reversibility of the LiBH4/Al* composite is based on the following reaction: LiH + LiAl + AlB2 + 7/2H2 ↔ 2LiBH4 + 2Al. The extent of the dehydrogenation reaction between LiBH4 and Al* greatly depends on the precipitation and growth of reaction products (LiH, AlB2, and LiAl) on the surface of Al*. A passivation shell formed by these products on the Al* is the kinetic barrier to the dehydrogenation of the LiBH4/Al* composite.

Carvedilol an antihypertensive drug, exhibit poor solubility and dissolution rate. Hence an attempt has been made to prepare the Co-crystals of Carvedilol to increase the solubility and dissolution rate by solvent evaporation method using coformer such as succinic acid, fumaric acid and oxalic acid. The prepared Co-crystals were evaluated for  solubility, dissolution rate and micromeritic properties. The Co-crystals were characterized by scanning electronic Microscopy (SEM), FT-Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray Diffractometry (XRD). The CAR-SA Co-crystal, CAR-FA Co-crystals and CAR-OA Co-crystals showed increased in solubility and dissolution rate compared to pure Carvedilol. The Co-crystals formed with coformer have showed improved micromeritic properties. SEM clearly showed the formation of new solid phase with the coformer. The FT-IR spectra indicate the shifting of characteristic peak in the Co-crystals but does not showed any interaction between the coformer used. DSC data showed the change in the endotherm with the melting points of Co-crystals. XRD spectra indicate the notified difference in the 2θ and the intensity of the peaks. Hence the Co-crystal formation could be helpful to improve the solubility, dissolution and micromeritic properties of Carvedilol.

Electrospun fibers are explored as a new system for controlled drug delivery. Novel techniques capable of obtaining polymer nanofibers have been reported in the literature. They include solution blow spinning (SBS), which is a technique to produce polymer nanofibers in the same range as electrospinning, using pressurized gas instead of high voltage. The present study investigates release characteristics of diclofenac sodium encapsulated at three concentrations (5, 10, and 20% w/v) in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanofibers made by electrospinning and SBS and determines the drug’s effect on fiber morphology and structural properties. PHBV nanofibers were characterized using scanning electronic microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction, and the release profile was examined via UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Both electrospinning and SBS encapsulated diclofenac sodium in PHBV membranes efficiently and effectively. The profile of thein vitrorelease of diclofenac sodium was dependent on drug concentration and temperature. The drug reduced crystallinity and increased flexibility.

Desulfurization Efficiency

The mechanism of a novel desulfurization method using spent Zn-MnO2 batteries has been studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and the experiments of SO2 absorption. The XRD results show that the positive electrode of spent Zn-MnO2 batteries consists of a mixture of α-MnO2, Mn2O3 and Mn3O4 phase. The SEM results show that micropores and microparticles are observed in the positive electrode surface, the relative content of zinc and graphite increases in the positive electrode after discharging according to EDS. The results of absorption experiments show that the electrolyte of spent batteries is of weak alkali which verifies the feasibility of absorbing SO2 using spent Zn-MnO2 batteries. Furthermore, the solution obtained by washing the positive electrode with low concentration ammonia is of much better desulfurization efficiency than that with distilled water directly, and 40°C is the optimum to absorb SO2 at a range of 30-70°C.

Objective: The purpose of current study was to improve physicochemical properties such as micrometric, compressibility and solubility of linezolid (LNZ) by preparing crystallo-co-agglomerates (CCA) in the presence of polymer for the enhancement of overall physicochemical performance.Methods: The process of agglomeration involves the use of dichloromethane (DCM) as a good solvent and chloroform as bridging liquid were used to prepare agglomerates. Agglomerates were characterised in the solid state using several techniques such as Scanning electronic microscopy(SEM), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction analysis (XRPD) The agglomerates obtained were evaluated for micrometric, mechanical, deformation, compressibility and drug release properties.Results: It was found that micrometric properties and dissolution characteristics of agglomerates were significantly improved than that of pure linezolid. Solubility was found to be increased than pure linezolid. The solubility of crystallo co-agglomerates was found an increase in 5 fold 3 fold and 3.7 fold for PVPK30 (0.5%), PVPK30 (0.25%) and PVPK30 (0.75%) respectively. The angle of repose for all batches was found between 22 ° to 30 °Carrs index was between 12.27±0.6 to 18.73±0.4 and Hausners ratio Near to 1, indicated good flow ability of agglomerates. The time required for drug release over a period of 60 min, is as LA1>LA2>LA3. LA3 shows fast drug release than LA1 and LA2, due to solubilization of drug due to more concentration of PVPK30 and less concentration of talc.Conclusion: Based on the above results, it was revealed that CCA of linezolid prepared with DCM and HPMC (Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose)/PEG (Polyethylene glycol)/PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone) K30 exhibited improved micrometric properties, compressibility and in addition to improving solubility and dissolution rate.

This study investigated the optimization of the bioconcrete engineering properties and durability as a response of the calcium lactate (CL) content (0.22–2.18 g/L) and curing duration (7–28 days) using the response surface methodology (RSM). Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) was conducted to evaluate the microstructure of calcium precipitated inside the bioconcrete. The results indicated that the optimal conditions for the engineering properties of concrete and durability were determined at 2.18 g/L of CL content after 23.4 days. The actual and predicted values of the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and water absorption were 43.51 vs. 43.43, 3.19 vs. 3.19, 6.93 vs. 5.50, and 7.55 vs. 7.55, respectively, with a level of confidence exceeding 95%. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) proved that the amount of calcium increased with the increase in CL content up to 2.81 g/L at 23.4 days, reducing the pores inside the concrete and making it a great potential option for healing of concrete structures.

Configurational isomerization of stereo-defined 5-substituted and unsubstituted 2-alkylidene-4-oxothiazolidines 1 in the solid state, giving the Z/E mixtures in various ratios, was investigated by 1H-NMR spectroscopy, X-ray powder crystallography and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The Z/E composition can be rationalized in terms of non-covalent interactions, involving intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding and directional non-bonded 1,5-type S...O interactions. X-Ray powder crystallography, using selected crystalline (Z)-4- oxothiazolidine substrates, revealed transformation to the amorphous state during the irreversible Z ? E process. A correlation between previous results on the Z/E isomerization in solution and now in the solid state was established.

Natural zeolite of Shivirtui deposit (Russia) was modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide AlOOH. Aluminum oxyhydroxide nanofibers were produced at the heating and oxidation of aluminum powder with water. The properties of modified zeolite were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electronic microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, thermal analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was found that water content in the modified sample of zeolite was about 15 %. Based on the study of the physical and chemical properties, shivirtui zeolite modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide can be proposed for use as a flame-retardant additive to polymers.
