A new process of internal gelation for preparing stabilized zirconia ceramic microspheres was developed. The influences of process parameters such as process temperatures, raw material concentrations, and the conditions of drying and calcining on the process and characteristics of the microspheres were investigated in this paper. With Y2O3 and/or MgO as stabilized agents, the microspheres had the characteristics of TZP or PSZ materials confirmed by XRD and SEM observations.

Aim: To develop a new self-emulsified silicon-grafted-alginate platform for pharmaceutical delivery. The produced biocompatible polymeric blend would be used to encapsulate metformin by a vibrational jet-flow ionotropic gelation process. Materials & methods: Polydimethylsiloxane was homogenized with alginate to prepare a stable polymeric mixture to which metformin was added. A metformin-loaded polymeric vehicle was then pumped through Buchi B-390 into CaCl2 to produce microcapsules. Results & conclusion: The platform showed a powerful, pseudoplastic thixotropic and demonstrated strong, efficient and wide applications of polydimethylsiloxane-customized technology in drug delivery and stability. A substantial improvement in drug loading, encapsulation efficiency and flow properties were noticed in siliconized microcapsules compared with the control.

AbstractFluorinated and photo-imageable precursors are synthesized through a Barbier-Grignard reaction for 1550-nm window. The precursors are used for the sol-gel process of integrated optic components for silica-on-silicon technology. Material compositions and process parameters are optimized to achieve internal absorptions >0.1 dB/cm and propagation losses of about 0.5 dB/cm at 1550 nm. Compact 1×16 Beam splitters are designed and fabricated which exhibit >0.3 dB power uniformity, >0.1 dB PDL and 1.5 dB coupling loss. By hybrid integration of the passive splitters and in-house fiber amplifiers, amplifying splitters are demonstrated at various signal intensities.
