Investigation to Identify the Influence of the Surface Energetics of the Dry Powder Formulations of Budesonide and Theophylline on Their Aerodynamic Dose Emission Characteristics.
… energetics play a key role in the delivery of a dry powder inhaler formulation into the lungs, as there must be a sufficient balance of adhesive and cohesive forces to allow optimal lung delivery. In this study, measuring the surface energies of a set of single drug and carrier (budesonide …

Mechanical and surface free energy characterization of asphalt concrete for moisture damage detection
Moisture damage is defined as the degradation of the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete (AC) caused by moisture. Moisture damage causes a severe loss in the strength and durability of asphalt pavements, leading to a major decrease in pavement performance. Hence, many additives are used to …

Interfacial transition zone composition and bonding in cementitious materials with asphalt-coated particles
The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete paving mixtures has seen recent interest as a result of significant availability of stockpiles of RAP materials. While previous research has primarily focused on the mechanical and durability …
