Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat ulcerative colitis. This study prepared and characterized colon-targeted particles of P. chinensis saponins by particle design. Most of the P. chinensis saponins in the composite particles were coated with Eudragit S100, as seen in SEM micrographs; meanwhile, the characteristic diffraction peaks in X-RD, surface wettability, and particle size distribution of the composite particles were basically the same as those of Eudragit S100. These results suggested that the mechanochemical process could be used to prepare colon-targeted particles with core-shell structures with the drug coated by the excipient; the results also showed similar surface characteristics in the coating.

ZnS:Fe and ZnS:Fe/ZnS core-shell nanocrystals were synthesized by chemical precipitation method. It was found that the ZnS: Fe based nanocrystals possess zinc blende structure. Compared to ZnS: Fe nanocrystals, the intensity of the X-ray diffraction peaks of ZnS: Fe/ZnS nanocrystals reduced and these peaks moved to lower angles. TEM images show that ZnS: Fe based nanocrystals are spheroidal and the average particles size is about 3~4 nm. PL spectra of ZnS: Fe nanocrystals revealed several mission bands, ~406nm, ~444nm, ~416nm, However, PL spectra of ZnS: Fe/ZnS nanocrystals showed several mission bands, ~420nm, ~432nm, ~449nm.

ABSTRACTThe various polymorphs of titanium oxide (TiO2) are probably the most widely studied materials for photovoltaic applications. It is well known that composition and particles size can have a profound effect on photoactivity. It is thought that high surface to volume nanostructures such as nanofibers and nanorods may possess the optimal properties. We have developed technology for the preparation of TiO2 nanofibers in a variety of forms including core shell structures, papers and films. The formation of mesoporous TiO2 fibers as spider webs and papers has been achieved by electrostatic deposition. The mesoporous fibers and other forms such as shaped particles and films have been employed as templates to grow TiO2 nanofibers in various configurations. The proposed research below will address the synthesis and characterization of the TiO2 fibers developed by these techniques

The Lime oil of Citrus aurantifolia was microencapsulated by coacervation technique employing gelatine and alginates as the shells, and calcium chloride as cross linker. Optimization of core/shell ratio, speed and temperature of stirring was carried out. Structure and shape of the microcapsules were characterized by particle size analyzer (PSA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively. The properties of microcapsules such as, yield, particle size distribution, oil content, oil load, and encapsulation efficiency were also determined. Upon condition of ratio core/shell 0.49, speed and temperature of stirring at 600 rpm and 35 �C respectively, the microcapsules of LOs with improved performance were achieved with efficiency of 46% and oil content of 78%.

In this work, Core-shell structure palygorskite/nanoCaCO3(PnC) composite particles have been synthesized chemically, employing solution precipitation methods. Crystal structure, morphology and thermal stability properties are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) and Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The results showed that the PnC particles were almost monodispersed microsphere aspect with the size was about 1-3 μm diameter. The nanocomposite particles exhibit the marked thermal stability properties than the palygorskite clay mineral.
