Examination of a time release OTC drug by laser diffraction particle size measurement and image analysis
Modified release dosage form refers to a measured delay on release of drug after it is consumed orally. It prolongs the effect of the drug so that multiple doses are not necessary. There are several terms available to describe “Timed Release Drugs” such as sustained release, prolonged release... -
Air-Protected Analysis of Specific Surface Area and Density of Solid Electrolytes of All-Solid-State Battery Cells for Improving the Ion Conductivity of Such Electrolytes
Recently, all-solid state battery cells have been attracting close attention from the viewpoints of high output density and safety. Small size (large specific surface area) and high density (absence of spore) of the particles constituting the solid electrolytes (oxides/sulfides) are very...

Dispersibility - Case Study: Raw Material Efficient Screening
Dispersibility, the ease of dispersing particles into liquids with a minimum size, is crucial for formulas end-use properties. Indeed, this operation could impact the final suspension quality like paint opacity, drug delivery, the shelf-life... Dispersibility depends on formulation parameters:... -
Pickering Emulsions Studies: Dispersibility, Emulsification, and Stability
The cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food sectors are facing a growing demand for more natural and less toxic products. Usual surfactants do not respond to this need: most of them are synthetic and non-biodegradable, and some are also allergenic or irritating. Pickering emulsions seem to be a good...

Measurement of Battery Materials with Laser Diffraction
The optimization and safety of lithium-ion batteries in the reduction of cell aging is very important. In this case one of the most critical factors is the particle size of the active materials like cathode, anode and separator material. -
Bulk Drug Refining and Evaluation of Physical Properties: Particle size distribution and SEM observation of Ethenzamide
In the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, bulk refining of the drug and the control of its physical properties (shape, etc.) are important factors in improving the tablet properties (tensile strength, solubility and consolidation characteristic). Here, we discuss the optimum conditions for jet...
