Herein mesoporous CeO2 with high thermal stability was synthesized via a new hydroxycarbonates based hydrothermal threatment approach in present of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). IR and XRD prove the coexistence of hydroxycarbonate cerium and CTAB in precursors. TEM micrographs show that non-ordered pore structure is formed in the product, and average particle size of 20 nm is obtained even after calcined at 1173 K. BET results exhibit that the pore structure is stable when the calcination temperature is below 923 K. However, While calcinated at 1173 K, the average particle size is 20 nm, the BET surface area and pore volume can remain as high as 31.07 m2/g and 0.21 cm3 g-1.

Spherical nano-sized SiO2 particles have been synthesized from sodium silicate by emulsion method. The influence of emulsifier content and mixing time on the morphology and particle size distribution of the resulting materials was investigated. The characteristics of the obtained SiO2 particles were examined by means of XRD, SEM, TEM, and PSA. The monodispersed shperical SiO2 with the average particle size 20 nm was obtained at a emulsifer content of 3vol% and mixing time of 60 min using ultrasonic disruptor. After calcining at 1200oC for 2 hrs, the amorphous SiO2 transformed wholly to the crystalline cristobalite. As increase in emulsifier content from 1 to 3 vol% did not nearly influence on the morphology of SiO2 particle but slightly changed the particle size distribution. The average particle size of SiO2 decreased significantly from 100 nm to 20 nm with increasing the mixing time.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowder was prepared by the low temperature solvothermal route with starting chemicals containing titanium isopropoxide, ammonium hydroxide, nitric acid and ethanol in a PTFE–lined autoclave. The final pH of the mixed solution was 1 and treated at 100 °C for 2–6 h. The white precipitated was filtered and dried in an oven at 80 °C for 24 h. The phase transition was characterized by X–ray diffractometer (XRD). Single phase anatase structure was obtained without calcination step. The morphology and particle size of TiO2nanopowder was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The average of TiO2nanopowder size was 80–120 nm. The average particle size increased with temperature and time increased. The photocatalytic degradation of methomyl in natural water was studied by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC). The percentage of methomyl was decreased in the presence of 34, 23 and 24 over TiO2nanopowder prepared by the low temperature solvothermal route at 100 °C for 2, 4 and 6 h, respectively.

AbstractBy using tin chloride solution as the raw material, a nano-sized tin oxide powder with average particle size below 50 nm is generated by spray pyrolysis reaction. This study also examines the influences of the reaction parameters such as reaction temperature and the concentration of raw material solution on the powder properties. As the reaction temperature increases from 800 to 850 ℃, the average particle size of the generated powder increases from 20 nm to 30 nm. As the reaction temperature reaches 900 ℃, the droplets are composed of nano-particles with average size of 30 nm, while the average size of individual particles increases remarkably up to 80˜100 nm. When the tin concentration reaches 75 g/L, the average particle size of the powder is below 20 nm. When the tin concentration reaches 150 g/L, the droplets are composed of nano particles with average size around 30 nm, whereas the average size of independent particles increases up to 80˜100 nm. When the concentration reaches 400 g/L, the droplets are composed of nano-particles with average size of 30 nm.

Nanoparticles of TiO 2 have been synthesized by an ion beam sputtering-cold condensation (IBS-CC) technique. A sintered TiO 2 was sputtered by an ion beam (Kaufman source, 900 eV, Ar+ ions) and the ejected atoms/radicals were made to condense on a Si(l00) substrate held at -50°C. X-ray diffraction data showed that the average particle size in the as-deposited material is about 3.5 ± 1.5 nm. Upon annealing at 600°C for five hours, the average particle size was seen to increase to about 70 ± 10 nm. Further annealing for one hour at 900°C led to increase of average particle size to 200 ± 20 nm. X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence data have been used to reveal the presence and relative concentrations of rutile and anatase phases of TiO 2 in the as-deposited and annealed samples. The IBS-CC method is found to yield a more compact particle size distribution as compared to the method based on Laser Ablation.

Experiment to identify ambient grinding conditions and energy consumed was conducted for fenugreek. Fenugreek seeds at three moisture content (5.1%, 11.5% and 17.3%, d.b.) were ground using a micro pulverizer hammer mill with different grinding screen openings (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mm) and feed rate (8, 16 and 24 kg h-1) at 3000 rpm. Physical properties of fenugreek seeds were also determined. Specific energy consumptions were found to decrease from 204.67 to 23.09 kJ kg-1 for increasing levels of feed rate and grinder screen openings. On the other hand specific energy consumption increased with increasing moisture content. The highest specific energy consumption was recorded for 17.3% moisture content and 8 kg h-1 feed rate with 0.5 mm screen opening. Average particle size decreased from 1.06 to 0.39 mm with increase of moisture content and grinder screen opening. It has been observed that the average particle size was minimum at 0.5 mm screen opening and 8 kg h-1 feed rate at lower moisture content. Bond’s work index and Kick’s constant were found to increase from 8.97 to 950.92 kWh kg-1 and 0.932 to 78.851 kWh kg-1 with the increase of moisture content, feed rate and grinder screen opening, respectively. Size reduction ratio and grinding effectiveness of fenugreek seed were found to decrease from 4.11 to 1.61 and 0.0118 to 0.0018 with the increase of moisture content, feed rate and grinder screen opening, respectively. The loose and compact bulk densities varied from 219.2 to 719.4 kg m-3 and 137.3 to 736.2 kg m-3, respectively.

Colloidal carriers diverge depending on their composition, ability to incorporate drugs and applicability, but the common feature is the small average particle size. Among the carriers with the potential nanostructured drug delivery application there are SLN and NLC. These nanostructured systems consist of complex lipids and highly purified mixtures of glycerides having varying particle size. Also, these systems have shown physical stability, protection capacity of unstable drugs, release control ability, excellent tolerability, possibility of vectorization, and no reported production problems related to large-scale. Several production procedures can be applied to achieve high association efficiency between the bioactive and the carrier, depending on the physicochemical properties of both, as well as on the production procedure applied. The whole set of unique advantages such as enhanced drug loading capacity, prevention of drug expulsion, leads to more flexibility for modulation of drug release and makes Lipid-based nanocarriers (LNCs) versatile delivery system for various routes of administration. The route of administration has a significant impact on the therapeutic outcome of a drug. Thus, the non-invasive routes, which were of minor importance as parts of drug delivery in the past, have assumed added importance drugs, proteins, peptides and biopharmaceuticals drug delivery and these include nasal, buccal, vaginal and transdermal routes. The objective of this paper is to present the state of the art concerning the application of the lipid nanocarriers designated for non-invasive routes of administration. In this manner, this review presents an innovative technological platform to develop nanostructured delivery systems with great versatility of application in non-invasive routes of administration and targeting drug release.

Aim: EPAS (evaporative precipitation into aqueous solution) was used in the current studies to prepare azithromycin nanosuspensions and investigate the physicochemical characteristics for the nanosuspension batches with the aim of enhancing the dissolution rate of the nanopreparation to improve bioavailability. Methods: EPAS method used in this study for preparing azithromycin nanosuspension was achieved through developing an in-house instrumentation method. Particle size distribution was measured using Zetasizer Nano S without sample dilution. Dissolved azithromycin nanosuspensions were also compared with raw azithromycin powder and commercially available products. Total drug content of nanosuspension batches were measured using an Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) system with Photodiode Array (PDA) detector while residual solvent was measured using gas chromatography (GC). Results: The average particle size of azithromycin nanosuspension was 447.2 nm and total drug content was measured to be 97.81% upon recovery. Dissolution study data showed significant increase in dissolution rate for nanosuspension batch when compared to raw azithromycin and commercial version (microsuspension). The residual solvent found for azithromycin nanosuspension is 0.000098023 mg/ mL or 98.023 ppb. Conclusion: EPAS was successfully used to prepare azithromycin nanoparticles that exhibited significantly enhanced dissolution rate. Further studies are required to scale up the process and determine long term stability of the nanoparticles.
