AbstractThe Tomb of Nefertari, no. 66, Valley of the Queens, is an internationally known monument of historic and artistic importance; it is considere d one of the most beautiful of the Royal Egyptian tombs. The fragility of its plaster along with its ubiquitous sodium chloride crystals and microcrystals have complicated its conservation and restoration. In order to determine the optimum pathway for its conservation, the physicochemical processes which occur now in this Tomb must be well understood. To improve this understanding, samples of plaster taken from the Tomb have been analyzed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry and X-ray Diffraction and have been shown to be fully dehydrated; previous findings suggest that this is not the case in all contemporary Royal tombs. Although we are not aware of any kinetic study of gypsum dehydration in the solid state, the presence of anhydrite in the Tomb of Nefertari suggests that the CaSO4 ·2H2O → CaSO4 + 2H2O reaction is catalyzed. It is reasoned that finely-dispersed sodium chloride crystals act as effective catalysts in this reaction.

Amorphous/nanocrystalline 50 Ni –50 Ti powders were synthesized from elemental Ti and Ni powders by solid state synthesis utilizing low energy mechanical alloying with times up to 100 h. The produced powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry to study phase transformations that occurred during heating in the calorimeter. It was found that at the first stage of the heating process, a disordered NiTi phase was formed at temperature of about 400°C. Further investigations indicated that this phase transformed into the Ni 3 Ti and Ti 2 Ni intermetallic compounds after heating at a temperature of about 800°C.

ABSTRACTMultilayered difiiision couples consisting of alternating layers of titanium (Ti) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) have been fabricated using sputter deposition with a range of modulation lengths corresponding to an average composition of Ti33 Si67. We have used differential scanning calorimetry to measure the enthalpy evolved during the solid state reaction a-Si + Ti → C49-TiSi2 and have characterized the phases formed using x-ray diffraction analysis. An average measured enthalpy of formation, ΔΗ was found to be ΔΗ = -58 + 9 kJ/g atom for thin film samples. Using scanning and isothermal calorimetry measurements, we have also characterized the kinetics involved during the initial intermixing stage.

Current analytical techniques for characterizing solid-state pharmaceuticals include powder x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. Powder x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry are mainstream techniques but they lack spatial resolution. Scanning electron microscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy provide good chemical and optical characterization but they are not capable of analysing very small nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy and nano-thermal analysis can provide explicit characterization of nanoparticles but they are invasive. Nuclear magnetic resonance offers good spatial resolution but its use is mainly limited by poor sensitivity and high costs. In view of the many challenges posed by existing methods, new and novel techniques are being continually researched and developed to cater to the growing number of solid formulations in the pipeline and in the market. Some of the recent advances attained in the solid-state analysis of pharmaceutical are summarized in this review article.
