Investigating the Hydration and Disintegration Mechanisms of Film-Coated Pharmaceutical Tablets
… ingredient (API) to patients. Tablets are often film-coated with a layer of polymeric material to protect the drug from environmental degradation, facilitate the packaging process, and enhance patient compliance. However, the mechanisms of hydration, disintegration and subsequent drug release and …

Development of environmentally benign microencapsulation with polymer microspheres and liposomes
Microencapsulation means applying a shell-like coating to encapsulate the contents of interest in a particle form with a size range of few micrometers or below. In this work, aqueous liposome systems and polymer based encapsulation of fine particles in supercritical CO_2 were studied. Compared to …

Implantable ferrite antenna for biomedical applications
… dB bandwidth. The simulated effects of ferrite film loading on antenna performance are investigated, with comparisons made for 5 and 10 µm thick films, as well as for 10 µm thick films with varying magnetic loss (tan δµ = 0.05, 0.1 and 0.3). Our simulations reveal that the addition of 10 µm …

Synthesis and thermoelectric properties of Mg2Si-Mg2Sn solid solutions for waste heat recovery
… that the atomic-layer deposited Al2O3 coating can effectively protect Mg2Si0.4Sn0.6 from oxidation in inert gas and even in air. This Al2O3 thin-film coating also provides in situ protection to Mg2SixSn1−x during the laser flash measurement and therefore eliminates the measurement …
