Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures on Nano Metal Oxide filled Polyvinylidene Fluoride Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
The ability of polarized pulsed laser in surface modification of substrate surfaces without thermally destroying them is a well-established concept of scientific procedure. In this work, we report the laser induced surface ...
Gas templating of resorcinol-formaldehyde xerogels
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Gas templating of gels is a novel route in the know-how technology of templating porous gels. This technology depends basically on infusing certain gases into the media of sol-gel reaction upon the gelation process. The ...
Proliposome tablets manufactured using a slurry-driven lipid-enriched powders: Development, characterization and stability evaluation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Proliposome powders were prepared via a slurry method using sorbitol or D-mannitol as carbohydrate carriers in 1:10 or 1:15 w/w lipid phase to carrier ratios. Soya phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and cholesterol were employed ...
